Antonio Gibson

Antonio Gibson didn’t play last week as he was recovering from a turf toe which prohibited him from being on the football field. The week before that, he suffered a turf toe injury which limited him to just two carries and 14 yards before leaving.

If you look at his stats from Week 12 and before, Gibson has been off the charts. Aside from Week 13 which is when he suffered the turf toe injury, he’s had a touchdown in every single game this year aside from three matchups which includes three scores on Thanksgiving against the Dallas Cowboys.

In weeks 11 and 12, he combined for 209 rush yards and four rush touchdowns on 36 carries.

In total this season, Gibson has rushed for 659 yards on 141 attempts for an average of 4.7 yards a carry and has 11 rush touchdowns. He isn’t too shabby in the receiving department too as he has 32 catches on 39 targets for 233 yards which brings it to an average of 7.3 yards a catch.

A key to this game will be the Seahawks defense slowing down Gibson and stopping him from replicating his stats prior to him suffering his turf toe injury.
