New Patriots running back Antonio Gibson finds himself in a new situation, which isn't always ideal for fantasy purposes, but the Patriots' offense isn't much worse than what he experienced with the Commanders. Unfortunately for Gibson, he joins an offense that already has a viable pass catcher out of the backfield in Rhamondre Stevenson. However, Stevenson was a major disappointment in 2023, and the new Patriots coaching staff has no ties to him. This could make Gibson a sneaky late-round value, especially considering Stevenson missed significant playing time last season and played through injuries in the games he didn't miss.
While Gibson is unlikely to be a major fantasy contributor without an injury to Stevenson, his presence could still be a thorn in the side of Stevenson managers this season.

Rhamondre Stevenson Out for Week 6 Foot injury By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 11, 4:14 pm
| | The Patriots officially ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) for Sunday.
Another start for Antonio Gibson, with JaMycal Hasty bumped up the depth chart and a promotion for either Kevin Harris or Terrell Jennings from the practice squad. (Mike Reiss on X)
FFToday's Take: It sounds like Stevenson is going to miss just one game, but Gibson should get the start at running back in Week 6 against the Texans and should have a decent workload, enough to be in the RB2 conversation. However, the Texans have given up the 7th fewest fantasy points to the position.
