2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gibson probably isn't a natural running back as much as an exceptional athlete who happens to play running back. Washington held this against the 2020 third-round pick last season, handing the starting job to Brian Robinson despite the lesser results the rookie provided. New offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy might not place the same level of emphasis on aesthetic and 'looking like' a running back that since-fired Scott Turner did, but even if Bieniemy is more receptive to Gibson, the former Memphis product faces a new threat from sixth-round pick Chris Rodriguez. Unlike Robinson at Alabama, Rodriguez played early and raked as a high-volume, high-efficiency runner at Kentucky. Gibson is no slouch as a runner – he ran for 1,832 yards and 18 TDs at a clip of 4.3 YPC in 30 games his first two seasons – but he might need to do more of his damage as a passing-down and hurry-up back now. Bieniemy could have a Pacheco/McKinnon sort of specialization split in mind for the Washington backfield. Read Past Outlooks

Participating in OTAs
Gibson (knee/foot) was spotted practicing Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gibson played through a foot fracture last December but then missed the final two weeks of the season after spraining his knee. He had surgery on his foot in the first week of January and seems to be back healthy for spring practices. The Commanders didn't add competition for Gibson's passing-down role this offseason, as the lone new face in the backfield at the start of OTAs is a sixth-round pick, Chris Rodriguez, who caught 20 passes in 40 games at Kentucky. Brian Robinson may get another shot as the lead runner, but Gibson is also a candidate for that role if anything goes wrong, having averaged 214 carries for 916 yards and nine touchdowns over his first two pro seasons. The 2020 third-round pick then had career highs for targets, catches, receiving yards and yards per target in 2022, but it was accompanied by new lows for carries, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns and yards per carry.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
As expected, Gibson's production took a step forward in his second season, but the gains
mostly came from volume as his efficiency with his touches wasn't at the level of his rookie
campaign. Part of the issue was the offense around him. Washington had a mediocre offensive
line and one of the more toothless passing attacks in the league, so while Gibson saw a big
increase in opportunities, efficiency was another matter. While he finished third in the league
with 47 red-zone carries, he only managed to score a touchdown on seven of them even as
players with comparable red-zone volume like Austin Ekeler and Damien Harris were racking up
double-digit TDs. Gibson's 4.0 yards per carry was a big drop-off from his 4.7 mark in 2020, and
the difference largely came behind the line of scrimmage. He gained only 2.1 yards per carry
before contact, losing half a yard in that metric from the season prior. The Commanders head
into the season with at least two new starters along the offensive line and Carson Wentz
replacing Taylor Heinicke under center, but Gibson is is on track to head the team's backfield out of the gate, with third-round pick Brian Robinson -- who had been pushing for a key role -- starting the season on the NFI list and slated to miss at least four games.
