Antonio Gibson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Washington RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) won't play vs. the Cowboys today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. McKissic wasn't able to pass all the way through the concussion protocol but figures to do so by Week 15. In the meantime, RB Antonio Gibson will continue to dominate backfield work against Dallas today.

Washington RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys.

His absence would be a boost for RB Antonio Gibson.

Washington RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. That leaves only Jaret Patterson and Wendell Smallwood behind Antonio Gibson in the backfield. Gibson should continue to dominate carries and pick up extra work in the passing game with McKissic out. HC Ron Rivera suggested Friday that Smallwood would take over some of McKissic's role.

Washington RB J.D. McKissic did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with a concussion. He'd previously been announced with a neck injury. McKissic seems unlikely to play vs. the Raiders this weekend, which would be a significant boost for RB Antonio Gibson.

Washington RB J.D. McKissic suffered a neck injury in the 4th quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Seahawks and was carted back to the locker room.

McKissic's absence would free up passing-game work for RB Antonio Gibson.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) isn’t listed on the final injury report but was limited in practice all week. It’s safe to assume that he’s still not at 100% with that stress fracture in his shin. That -- plus a matchup vs. a stout Bucs run defense -- makes Gibson just a RB3 or flex in Week 10 fantasy lineups.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's his 1st work of any kind on a Wednesday since Week 4, so perhaps that stress fracture in his shin is improving. But Gibson remains a risky RB2 until we see his usage improve.
