🏈 Fantasy impact
With Gibbs off the injury report, fantasy managers can plan on starting him as an RB1 in Week 8. He has averaged 28.5 PPR points per game this season, and Sleeper projects him for 23.4 points against the Vikings. His full practice Thursday and absence from the injury report remove any lingering concern from Wednesday’s shoulder issue. Sione Vaki remains the handcuff, but his 2.5 PPR points per game shows a massive drop-off if Gibbs were to miss time. Start Gibbs with confidence in all formats.
