Washington RB Antonio Gibson (toe) is active for today’s game against the Panthers. The rookie had emerged as a workhorse before missing the past 2 games with turf toe. It’s unclear exactly how big a role he’ll return to, making Gibson a risk/reward RB2 today.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (toe) is expected to play against the Panthers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie will end up missing 2 games with turf toe. Gibson averaged 16.3 carries and 4.3 targets over his last 3 healthy games and has RB1 upside in today's plus matchup. But there's elevated risk here coming off what tends to be a tricky injury.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. He was listed as limited in all 3 practices this week. We'll get Gibson's game status around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. He'll be a risk/reward fantasy play if active.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (toe) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He seemingly has a chance to return for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. We'll get another update on his progress tomorrow.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (toe) is inactive for today’s game against the Seahawks. He returned to practice on Friday and seemingly has a shot to play next week. J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber will continue handling backfield duties today.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (toe) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. He did get back on the practice field on Friday, so a Week 16 return looks possible. J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber will continue handling backfield duties this weekend.

Washington signed RB Lamar Miller off Chicago's practice squad. Miller isn't a Week 15 fantasy option, but the move is a sign that The Football Team doesn't expect RB Antonio Gibson (toe) back for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. He might be looking at a multi-game absence with his turf toe. Peyton Barber figures to lead Washington’s backfield in carries this weekend but would be a desperation fantasy play. J.D. McKissic will dominate the passing-down work and also mix in for some rushing work.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson's status for Sunday's game is "in doubt" due to a "painful case of turf toe," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gibson will be evaluated throughout the week, but fantasy owners shouldn't bank on having him in Week 14 lineups. His absence would leave the backfield to Peyton Barber and J.D. McKissic.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson suffered a toe injury early in Monday night's game vs. the Steelers and was deemed doubtful to return. Don't expect to see him again tonight -- and this could be an issue for the rest of the season. We'll update Gibson's status when we learn more. His absence leaves Washington's backfield to J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shoulder) isn’t listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. The rookie should be ready for his usual role in a plus matchup vs. the Lions on Sunday.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He'll be ready to rock for this weekend's plus matchup vs. the Lions.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson was held out of Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Lions is now uncertain. Check back Thursday afternoon for another update on the rookie.

Washington has released RB Adrian Peterson. It’s a surprising move after the future Hall-of-Famer ran with the 1st-team offense all summer. Running alongside Peterson with the starters was rookie Antonio Gibson, who now looks like the clear favorite to lead Washington’s RBs in touches this season. Peterson’s release also makes RB Bryce Love a more intriguing late-round fantasy pick. Check out the updated projections for Washington's backfield.

The Athletic's Ben Standig writes that Washington RB Bryce Love "isn’t a threat for work initially." Love's camp got off to a buzzy start, but he's been quiet lately. "He is still shaking off the rust after not practicing since suffering a torn ACL at Stanford in Dec. 2018," Standig writes. He projects Adrian Peterson, Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic to start the season ahead of Love on the depth chart. We remain intrigued by Love's talent in a still-unsettled Washington backfield. But he's just a bench stash in deep fantasy leagues and a waiver-wire watch-list guy in shallower setups.

Redskins HC Ron Rivera said his team has "a plan" for RB Antonio Gibson. "I know we haven’t shown you guys the whole plan, and that’s part of the secret that we’re trying to keep going into the regular season," Rivera added. "There’s a lot we can do with a young man like him.” We know that Gibson and Adrian Peterson have been handling the majority of 1st-team reps at camp, so we're expecting the rookie to have a significant role right out the gate. We'll see if he gets enough action to be a viable fantasy play, but he's certainly an intriguing sleeper. Gibson's recent FFPC ADP is sitting at the 7th/8th-round turn.

RBs Adrian Peterson and Antonio Gibson appear to be atop Washington's depth chart right now. According to Kyle Stackpole of the team's official site, Peterson has been the starter in camp so far, with Gibson also receiving a "fair amount of 1st-team reps." RBs Bryce Love and Peyton Barber have worked primarily with the 2nd and 3rd teams. This remains a fluid situation, but Peterson and Gibson should be the first 2 Washington RBs off the board in fantasy drafts. Love is a worthwhile late-round flier.
