2. Antonio Gibson, RB, Washington Commanders

Antonio Gibson quietly finished as the overall RB10 last year. However, most of his damage was done when J.D. McKissick was injured, and they had to rely on the run game due to poor quarterback play.

This season, things are different for Gibson. McKissick re-signed with the team, and the team drafted Brian Robinson, who has impressed in camp. Despite Gibson’s talent, that’s simply a lot of cooks in the kitchen for Washington, which could result in problems for the running back.

The workload simply might not be there for Gibson this year, despite having 258 carries last season. Drafting him as your RB2 in the first few rounds of the draft may be a little rich for a back who has added competition in the backfield and will also lose passing snaps.
