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.

The Washington at Philadelphia game originally scheduled for Sunday has been moved to Tuesday at 7 pm ET due to The Football Team's COVID outbreak, insider Albert Breer reports. This game won't be on the DFS main slate but will still count for Week 15 in season-long leagues. We'll see if any of Washington's players currently on the COVID list are activated by Tuesday. The extra 2 days can't hurt Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is recovering from what's been reported as a high-ankle sprain. Washington WR Terry McLaurin and RB J.D. McKissic will have a better chance to clear concussion protocol before kickoff.

Washington RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. Good news for RB Antonio Gibson.

Washington RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He was able to get in limited workouts last Thursday and Friday, so this looks like a setback. McKissic now seems unlikely to play vs. the Eagles this weekend, but we'll get another update on his progress tomorrow.

Washington RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. Antonio Gibson will continue to dominate backfield work and is an easy RB1 in fantasy lineups.

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. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and still has work to do to be cleared in time for Sunday. We’ll keep you updated on McKissic’s status. 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. HC Ron Rivera didn't have an update afterward, but QB Taylor Heinicke said McKissic was walking around the locker room. We'll pass along an update when we get one. 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.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson is expected to play vs. the Packers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
