Okay, so I’ve been staring at my fantasy football roster for like, an hour now. The big question weighing on me: Should I drop Antonio Gibson? It’s eating at me, so I figured I’d just document my whole thought process and maybe it’ll help me (and maybe you!) figure this thing out.
The Initial Panic
First, the panic set in. I started by looking at Gibson’s stats from the last few weeks. They’re…not great. I mean, really not great. He’s not getting the touches I expected, and even when he does, he’s not producing like he used to. My gut reaction was “DROP HIM! GET HIM OFF MY TEAM!” But then, I took a breath.
Digging Deeper
Okay, calm down. Let’s actually think about this. I went to check out some expert rankings and projections. Some people are still surprisingly high on him, saying he’s a buy-low candidate. Others have completely written him off. So, that’s not super helpful.
Then, I looked at his upcoming schedule. Are there some juicy matchups where he could potentially bounce back? There are a couple that look…okay, I guess. Not amazing, but not terrible either.
The Internal Debate
- Pros of dropping him: I could free up a roster spot for someone who’s actually producing now. There are a few running backs on the waiver wire that are tempting.
- Cons of dropping him: What if he turns it around? What if Brian Robinson Jr. gets hurt again? I’d be kicking myself. The potential upside is still there, even if it’s fading fast.
Weighing the Options
Next, I considered the alternatives. Who would I even pick up? I scrolled through the available players. There’s a rookie running back who’s been getting some buzz, but he’s also in a crowded backfield. There’s a veteran who’s been consistently mediocre, but at least he’s getting some points.
The (Tentative) Decision
After all this back and forth, I think… I think I’m going to hold onto him. For one more week. I know, I know, it sounds crazy. But I just have this nagging feeling that he could still be valuable. I’m going to give him one more chance to prove himself. If he stinks it up again this week, then he’s gone. No more second chances.
I am writing this down to keep that thought. If he sucks again, I will drop him!
