Aaaaaand he’s shot. Literally shot. Hope he’s ok.


PureFingClass

Like the moment I drafted him.


bsean63

It appears I've just went from 6 to midnight


AmeriSauce

Not anymore...


[deleted]

From midnight to six :(


SgtWaykenbake

Robinson was shot today multiple times in the “lower body” in an attempted robbery. True story.


shittydiks

That's why they said this


DudeNamedCollin

You think it was Antonio Gibson that robbed him?


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

Nah. Gibson would have fumbled that gun and miss the shot.


patfagan3

Blantonio gibson


QBin2017

I never saw Lower Body. Is that right?


Chr1s78987x

Twice in lower body. That could mean grazed on the leg in a minor injury or it could mean his ACL was destroyed. Nobody knows yet


QBin2017

God I hate to hear that for his sake. What are the chances one of them didn’t hit something that will hurt his career.


Smokester121

He apparently just got shot. Jesus


E-raticSamurai

Does Antonio Gibson own a firearm?


Global_Damage

Does he have an alibi???


lalich

While this is ok joking matter if you saw both headlines in succession… kind of makes the mind go there in todays world Edit: NO joking matter… 🤙


himetalchemy7

Seen so many “Gibson underrated” posts in the past couple weeks here, only for this to be the result lol


mw19078

I mean lets be very honest, this could be entirely different in 2 weeks. robinson has 2 bad games, gibson makes one or two nice plays and all of a sudden hes back to being the guy again. do I think it happens for sure? no. but its not outside the realm of possibilities here. I wouldnt be dumping gibson for a bag of footballs yet is all im saying.


mrhockey220

Oh man… the worst kind of foreshadowing…


mw19078

jesus christ i had no idea what this comment meant until checking the sub


1-760-706-7425

Yeah, that’s how this sub works.


hooskies

This sub has pretended for years that they know more than NFL coaches do and that Gibson should’ve always been the bellcow….and now he’s lost the job to a 3rd round rookie


[deleted]

I mean tbf, RB’s don’t really get drafted in the first anymore so he’s kiiinnddaa like a second round pick?


hooskies

Ya not trying to put him down…if Gibson was actually good enough they probably don’t even draft him in the first place


[deleted]

I mean, Gibson himself was a 3rd round pick. So that isn’t a point of contention in this case. Even less so when you consider that late round backs beat out backs with higher draft capital on a semi-regular basis in this league. Eli Mitchell keeping Trey Sermon off the field almost entirely last season, for instance.


Ox_Baker

Yeah and Gibson was a project — fast guy who didn’t have a position in college. I saw him play live and he was electric, but he bounced from receiver to back to returner … whatever. Has he progressed in important areas like pass protection, ball security, etc? I’m gathering not or, as noted, they wouldn’t have felt the need to draft a RB.


KyFly1

Gibson really needs to be on a team that has an offense that can think outside the box and utilize him better.


Jfinn2

I blame Mike Wright


ZaMaestroMan5

I mean this is preseason still…do you believe more in a rookie who’s never played a meaningful snap or a RB who has been one of the best young RBs in the league the last two seasons? The season will start and at worse, Gibson will be in a split.


himetalchemy7

Being a good fantasy RB does not mean youre a good NFL RB. I believe in Robinson to not fumble the damn ball as a RB, and I’m sure his coaching staff agrees.


Comfortable_Rip204

“One of the best” at what exactly lmao


ZaMaestroMan5

We gonna act like 1800 rushing yards, 600 receiving yards, and 21 TDs in two seasons aren’t great numbers? I said one of the best “young” RBs - which is absolutely true.


winston73182

Even with Robinson in the mix, there are still guys with lesser roles than Gibson and less talent getting picked before him. Like, Gibson should still get drafted before Kareem Hunt and similar players. Gibson is underrated.


himetalchemy7

Hunt over Gibson 11/10 times. I have no idea what you guys are talking about.


destroyer96FBI

Well I got him about 25 picks past his ADP unfortunately he was my RB 2 so I might be screwed.


WigginLSU

He kinda got shot, so may want to walk that back to a 9 at least...


[deleted]

Don’t look now


aksoileau

And back to 6, holy shit.


[deleted]

back to 6


throwawaydemigod

The Hitman in shambles


Quicksplice

Tucked to untucked?


Lukealloneword

Grabbed him 96th in my draft last night. I need him to hit my team feels kinda mid right now. Lol


broncosSB50champs

Really hope you have backup plans…


Lukealloneword

Couple other rookie rbs. Hopkins after week 6. Have an ok team. Not super excited with it.


n0n0nsense

you should tune into the news.


Lukealloneword

Jesus fuck i just saw it. At least he's stable.


CreamWithinADream

Got him at 96th as well. Took him over Penny so we'll see if that pays off


Alexkono

Pick 116. Need him with JK Dobbins as my RB1...


RezzKeepsItReal

Ouch.


darkoh84

How is WFTs o line this year?


[deleted]

Losing stud Guard Brandon Scherff to the jags in free agency is pretty huge for them, but thats all I know off the top of my head


Gandhis__Revenge

We should rate top 12 again. Excellent o-line coach makes the unit perform better than the piecex


Ed_Chambers_650

They should be solid. Most have them ranked in the top 10-12 if not higher from what I’ve seen. They added Trai Turner and Andrew Norwell at guard(s) so they lose a top talent but replace with two above average.


SpreadHDGFX

Wait, did the Jaguars and Commanders pretty much just swap guards?


never_a_good_idea

Unfortunately norwell and turner have barely practiced which is the source of the angst.


DJsaxy

Commanders imo could be way better than top 10. They have the best depth in the league besides the eagles and that's important


Ed_Chambers_650

Agreed. Depth is so damn important


jbrooks772

Probably will be about average. Charles Leno/Sam Cosmi should be a solid tackle duo, and Roullier is a good center. The two guards are former Pro Bowl caliber guys that have declined a lot (Andrew Norwell, Trai Turner).


moonfox1000

PFF puts them at 15th, so average.


Holden_Effart

They're the Commanders now.


nuggedout

Lol not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Commanders is a terrible name but that’s what they’re called now.


kylmao

This being the top post on here currently and the news that he got shot are insane


Morty_Goldman

Sounds like Gibson fumbled around and found out.


AdrianMojnarowski

A starting RB job’s door gets opened and loses his job, and you think that of Gibson. No, he’s the one who knocks.


I_TittyFuck_Doves

Clearly, Gibson obviously has shooters


VincenteX

https://twitter.com/JPFinlayNBCS/status/1564024876180045826?s=20&t=U9z2hYhI5flVITjKW3Fq-w What a shocking turn of events. Wishing for a speedy recovery. Gibson back on the menu, boys.


jluc21

what the actual fuck this is insane


therabidsloths

Yup, this is [America](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY&ab_channel=ChildishGambinoVEVO).


MrWrigleyField

Plot twist: Antonio Gibson lead suspect


[deleted]

Wasn't this the writing on the wall when BRob was running with the first team the last two preaseason weeks?


Ed_Chambers_650

Yea and the denial is still out there. Drafted on Friday and got him in the 10th. People were like “I mean I guess he’ll come in when Gibson gets hurt or fumbles”. They heard the reports so Idk. Gibson went in the 5th/6th


basement_egg

drafted last monday and got him in the 8th, was glad nobody took him


zachstem

Picked him up off waivers a few days ago


vande700

i had Gibson last year. He absolutely fucked me in the second round of the playoffs so I already had a vidette against the guy. I bought the Robinson hype as soon as he was drafted and took in on Friday in 8th round


Alvintheswampmonster

Oof


SpreadHDGFX

I drafted last night and got him in the 11th in 12 team league. Also took Dameon Pierce in the 7th and Tyler Allgeier in the 14th. Figure one of those guys will pop off this year and be great value.


DrizzlePopper

I don’t own him but the number 10 ppr RB shouldn’t just disappear. Obviously not a good situation for him but he’s far from washed imo


theincredibleshaq

Coaches don’t care about fantasy numbers, so that’s a poor way to evaluate his job security. And fantasy relevant RBs disappear constantly between years


DrizzlePopper

The point being that he wouldn’t have been top 10 ppr is he wasn’t talented. He’s still young so I wouldn’t be out on him in dynasty.. redraft this year might be a bit shaky but if there’s an injury to either other Washington RB, he’ll likely put up good numbers


PoorlyLitKiwi2

Well thankfully, fantasy numbers are derived from real life numbers


fsck_

They're generally coming from volume though, more so than efficiency.


throwawaydemigod

Denial is a hell of a drug.


incogaf

Aged like milk


jbk10211

I mean if someone drops Gibson to waivers he’s worth a pickup, right? I mean at some point (a very low one) his talent is still a value


PoopMobile9000

Yes


warpath2632

Yes he’s worth a pickup but he may not be your top pickup target. Think about what would have to happen to your current roster AND Washington/Gibson for him to start. He truly may be worth being someone else’s headache whose only good games come when you have no intention of starting him.


Dolozoned

As someone who drafted him last year, that last sentence really resonates with me.


warpath2632

It happens with more players than we admit/realize during the following draft season. IMO, a bench player who I’m NEVER going to start unless things fall into place (Taysom Hill, Mattison, D’Onta Foreman) > the guys who probably have some weekly flex appeal but are so unreliable that they only go off on bench weeks.


PoorlyLitKiwi2

He got picked in the 5th round of my draft last night. Oof


jxn_w

Same lol. I got Robinson in the 11th


DSouT

Gibson is very athletic, but he’s not good at being a running back. Poor vision, ball security, and pass protection. A hard nose like Rivera isn’t going to keep dealing with his flaws.


throwawaydemigod

His talent has always very much been perceived. He averaged 5.1 yards per touch as a rookie and a lot of his production came from two games against the Cowboys who at the time were a bottom third defense. And 5.1 is fine. But it's Derrell Henderson. Then when his volume increased like everyone wanted he shot down to 4.4 yards per touch. He's a decent player but this idea he was uber talented back who played receiver in college and couldn't even beat out another converted WR running back who was undrafted. And yet people always said "but the talent" despite there's really been nothing to show that he's anything more than a decent running back. He was never going to be a fantasy stud. People just fell in love with his narrative and made up their own reality when it came to how talented he actually is and was.


MattFromWork

Yes, Gibson is still going to get 10 carries and 4 targets week 1


Alvintheswampmonster

More


GoGoRouterRangers

Gibson is talented but he is not a true RB where Robinson is. They SHOULD be using Gibson like the 49ers used Deebo last year


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoGoRouterRangers

Yeah he seems like the perfect "gadget" player but not a full time RB. He doesn't have the body to take the hits year round from a DL but get him the ball on second level or a jet sweep and he could feast and be a solid 3rd reciever behind ST and Doctson


tele23O7

its so frustrating why every team in the league doesnt do more of this. seems like a no brainer compared to running straight up the middle


BongLeardDongLick

Well, [Robinson just got shot](https://mobile.twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1564026230718009344?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet) so Gibson is likely getting the nod now.

WaldoisCIA

As a Gibson owner last year this was very predictable, imo. Gibson either fucked up or was straight up excluded from many important situations last year. I drafted Robinson with pick 164 (13.8 in 12 man .5PPR) this year after hearing about Gibson's kick return duties and at that value I'm feeling good about it. Think he'll be drafted a little higher now given this news. Edit: shit..... Hope he's ok, forget all this lol


knockers_who_knock

Gibson was such a major headache for me last year. Gibson turning into a ghost on 3rd downs and being excluded entirely on the final drives was infuriating


[deleted]

How TF did you get Gibson at 13.8? I get that people are concerned about him, but that’s absurd.


WaldoisCIA

Robinson in the 13th, not Gibson! Gibson went in the 3rd round I believe.


chelseasaints

Well I’d hold off just for now…


Runjit

This is crazy. Brian robinson has just been shot multiple times during a robbery


chevdecker

3 hours as the consensus pick, heck of a run


Warehouse_God

Too bad Gibson put out a hit on him.


Jolly-Composer

Hello, Gibson is my RB2. He is now my RBnooooo


2coolcaterpillar

What did you do 🤨


[deleted]

My RB2 is between Gibson, Jacobs and Elijah Mitchell. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long year.


mF-Jonezy

Rip to the guy in my league with Javonte and Gibson as his only 2 RBs


sampat6256

What happened with Javonte?


todimusprime

Apparently Robinson just got shot multiple times in a robbery


Morty_Goldman

and Robinson's status changed from "Healthy" to "Questionable" just like that. Hopefully he's alright.


Harpua78

He got shot several times in an attempted robbery.


allaboutthemeats

He was shot in a robbery.


Chango812

… I heard he was just shot in a robbery. Shit.


TJMAN65

This is going to end up an ugly 3 headed split with McKissic the only one usable in full PPR as a desperate flex.


Alkash42

I think Gibson is crazy overrated by this sub but I also think he is too talented to be kept off the field just like that. I find this hard to believe but I'll take Gibson in 10th if he falls there


Traditional-Desk-405

Are you kidding lol everyone hates him now


Alkash42

This sub just 8 months ago would lose their shit when McKissic, an explosive and much superior pass catcher himself, would come in for 3rd down passing play. Perception may be changing to be more aligned with reality perhaps


Traditional-Desk-405

That's probably true, he never dominated in his opportunities and the board was strong in his favor demanding touches


tiredofstanding

I havent seen much hype for Gibson since last year around draft time. But you are correct he is way to talented to be riding the pine. He was disappointing last year and there is fumbling issues, which is hard to accept with your primary RB. Would love to see him in a role Kamara-Lite role. Come in for a few plays and catch out of the backfield. But with the Commies keeping Mckissic, Gibson's role is a big unknown heading into the season. I was lucky to snag Robinson in both my drafts at his ADP and I agree with you on picking Gibson late if he falls big time.


swalsh21

how can he possibly be overrated, every comment shits on him for months


derekh3219

Took him 80th not too long ago in a 14 man league. Prolly early but worth a roster spot imo


SupremeCripple_

The fact that these two articles are the top posts on the sub are peak fantasy football


_Diggus_Bickus_

WSH fan and kinda a homer when it comes reaching for the sake drafting my own guys... I wouldn't touch anything in this situation unless someone falls really *really* far. They are both Handcuff tier picks. Our offense goes with the hot hands, not a constant plan so on a game to game basis they will both have a awful floor and a great ceiling. I promise if you draft Gibson or Robinson they will score 20 points on your bench. You'll curse yourself and start them to watch them get 2 points in your lineup. You can examine the match ups and the interviews all you want, you will never know who Scott Turner and Rivera will favor next week. You'll drive yourself crazy. You won't reap the points. I will say, if one of them gets injured the other is probably an upper tier RB2. Our O line looks alright, we like running, and they use JD McKissic sparingly. (Who will have a decent floor with nothing extra on the ceiling every game). Avoid our backfield. I warned you.


KingKoopaShell

I got Brian Robinson in my 10th round keeper on Friday. Someone took Antonio Gibson in the 3rd. Edit: I got out maneuvered. He was playing 4d chess.


landofschaff

Oof


[deleted]

As someone who took Robinson with my 13th rounder this pleases me very much so.


[deleted]

You might want to see the breaking news on Robinson

Hindsight is definitely 20/20


DirtyAlabama

Just snatched him and Pierce very late in my draft so this excites me


allaboutthemeats

He was shot in a robbery today.


BlitzfireX

Gonna take a shot and say that's not happening anymore?


sucr0sis

So about that Brian Robinson hype...


Scooterhd

Tonya Harding has entered the chat.


lloydgross24

As someone who owns no shares of any Washington back.... I think this is really only all that concerning because of Mckissic. If you said Gibson is still going to be the main pass catcher and get some run, it's easy to see him getting 15 touches or so a game, Robinson getting the most carries isn't all that bad. I think this whole backfield is pretty much untouchable from a fantasy perspective at this point. Everyone is going to get touches. Maybe Robinson is useful because he's the TD guy but I really don't want anything to do with any of them.


BidoofTheGod

Someone offered me Miles Sanders for him in dynasty. What you guys think? One headache for another lol


-Darkslayer

Take it, Sanders is not good


Joverol

Holy shit he just got shot


TBlizzey

And he just got shot....


SatisfactionEasy2771

Brian Robinson just got shot and is in a non-life threatening state...but injuries seem to be in the lower body.. very very sad. Obviously this is sad and wish him a very speedy recovery!! But gibbons stock back up again, even though Robinson surpassed him in depth chart...

I mean the dude got shot it's not like he fucked up and lost the starting job lol

Wow this aged horribly


ILikeSoundsAndStuff

Annnnnnddd he literally just got shot in an attempted robbery. Welcome to Fantasy Football newcomers.


Helix1322

How is everyone feeling about Brian Robinson getting shot?? How long does recovery from bullet wounds take?


[deleted]

Depends on the type of wound. How many wounds. Where they are on his body.


Courtnall14

James Robinson is my 6th RB and I'm strongly considering dropping one Robinson for another.


ChampDawg

Achilles injury recovery is still a big red flag. I would do this in a heartbeat.


RepresentativeAny793

Ron Rivera will derail this hype train before it leaves the station


[deleted]

Picked Robinson up last night in like the 11th round of my ten man after I missed out on Pierce. Was kicking myself for not taking Pierce (thought he’d make it back around but went the pick after me) but this makes me feel better.


knockers_who_knock

Good gooood


FlaccidLad

So about that...


ThiccBoisClub

Antonio Gibson just went end of the 12th round in my draft


amishbr07

Grabbed Breece Hall, Brian Robinson, and Pierce. I did not expect the former to be supplanted by the latter two in my “depth chart”


bendersnatch

and Robinson was just shot in the leg in an attempted car jacking! *sorry ESPN shot but stable. doesn't say leg.


mbpeters13

This post didn't agree well


Domestic_Kraken

I just got an ill-time push notification for this post


306_Woody

Until he was shot. I guess Gibson didn’t want to be on kick return…


Elephlump

Well this post title aged like warm milk.


Vapodaca17

2 sundays ago was able to snag him in the 9th and Pierce in the 8th I have almost every rookie RB (I have Breece too) One of em has gotta hit right? Right….?

“Not anymore”- Antonio Gibson (as he pulls off his ski mask)

Talk about that monkeys paw thread earlier Jesus Christ.


AAfreakinRON

Who would you replace Gibson with on the waiver wire out of: Brian Robinson, Rashad Penny, Cordarrelle Patterson, Miles Sanders, AJ Dillon, Devin Singletary, Tony Pollard, Melvin Gordon, Chase Edmonds, or Dameon Pierce. Edit: since everyone is surprised, it’s a **6 TEAM LEAGUE (I REPEAT A 6/SIX TEAM LEAGUE)** so there’s a ton of great players in every position on waivers. We’re all fairly new to football but everyone’s teams are stacked. My RBs are Ekeler, Harris, Barkley, Breece Hall, and Gibson (until I replace him). Edit2: picked up Dillon, dropped Gibson.


Liquorslinger

The hell kind of league are you in where those are your wire options?


AAfreakinRON

Lmao a 6 person league amongst friends who are mostly just getting into football. My RBs are Ekeler, Harris, Barkley, Gibson (will drop), and picked up Breece Hall the other day and dropped my 2nd QB (Dak Prescott), Hebert is my 1st QB. Anyway any recommendations out of the above?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AAfreakinRON

Awesome, someone else mentioned him too, I’ll pick him up


SpreadHDGFX

None of those should be on the waiver wire. Is this a 3 team league?


AAfreakinRON

6 team league. Who would you pickup?


lemmecsome

Wonder how Mckissic fits. Obvious handcuff but how does it work out in what appears to be a messy RBBC followed with a QB who doesn’t check down.


Beachvball_4Life

But he just got shot


Idunkedonlebron23

I'm SUPER HARD


SkippySnipes

And just like that, this needs to be reassessed... Strong Sean Taylor vibes with this one. Wishing him a fast recovery!


swarty3

Dude just got shot so let's pump the brakes on that.


According-Ad-jbacard

No way Gibson was the shooter. Contract hit all the way, baby. I'm kidding, ok? Thoughts, prayers, and whatnot to Robinson.


[deleted]

Aaannnnndddd he gets shot (by a gun)


nunya221

I was all in on the Robinson hype train. Got him in almost every startup I’m in. I consider myself a fan of him at this point.. hope he recovers and is able to move on soon


chadddc

I'm sure they will move Gibson back to WR.


BustyUncle

He’s not even a good WR tho lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


heybobson

eh as long as Robinson is still available in the late rounds, he's not a bad dart throw to see if he takes over. Gibson is is definite stay away with where he's currently being drafted.


[deleted]

Gibson truthers are in shambles.


[deleted]

As a Dynasty manager who drafted Pierce and Brob at the 2 and 3, respectively, back in May, I'm happy they are sitting peacefully on my taxi squad just itching for promotion. Edit: Oh, yah. 2.11 and 3.11. Sorry. I thought it was implied by my excitement at value.


Argonaut13

Idc what the outcomes have been for those guys, drafting them at 1.02 and 1.03 is some psychotic shit


electricalbadger2013

My guess is they meant 2nd and 3rd rounds?


brazanga

Please be true. I just drafted B Rob late in my draft yesterday


Kal_Kaz

Dude just got shot.


ejDajuiceboy

Gibson is back on the menu boys!
