Bibbs

Bibbs wasn’t needed after the Packers added sixth-round RB Dexter Williams. Getting release at this stage is never a good sign, but Bibbs has enough special teams value to resurface.

It’s not a good sign for Aaron Jones (knee), who may be headed for injured reserve soon. Jamaal Williams will be Green Bay’s Week 16 featured runner.

Bibbs had been a healthy scratch for Byron Marshall of late. He’ll find a home as a third-down back as the season moves along.

Bibbs has been filling in as Chris Thompson’s replacement while he’s out hurt. He’s a desperation FLEX in deeper PPR leagues when Thompson is out.

With Chris Thompson (ribs) seemingly headed for another absence, Bibbs will likely work as Adrian Peterson’s handcuff again in Week 10. Even in deeper leagues, you can probably do better than Bibbs, who has totaled just 120 yards from scrimmage in his six games this year.

He was limited with a shoulder injury this week but is good to go in Chris Thompson’s (ribs) place. The Redskins’ Week 9 inactives are Thompson, WRs Jamison Crowder and Brian Quick, DBs Adonis Alexander and Kenny Ladler, LT Trent Williams, and C Casey Dunn. Ty Nsekhe will get the start on Alex Smith’s blind side.

Bibbs technically played the “Chris Thompson role,” but he was barely a factor in the passing game on a day where Alex Smith looked almost strictly for tight ends and slot receivers rather than wideouts and running backs. Bibbs’ second-half rushing score came from three yards out. Even if Thompson (ribs) sits again in Week 10, Bibbs would be a weak PPR-only flex play at Tampa Bay.

Bibbs got in three limited practices this week and should be fine. With Chris Thompson (ribs) out, Bibbs is the change-of-pace to Adrian Peterson. If this one ends up with the Redskins chasing points against Atlanta, Bibbs could see expanded work in the pass game. He’s not an intriguing fantasy play.

Without Chris Thompson for the second straight week, Bibbs again stepped in as Washington’s No. 2 change-of-pace back. He showed his worth on Washington’s first drive when he stretched a screen in the flats into a 23-yard touchdown scamper. His 43 receiving yards tied Jordan Reed’s for the team lead. Bibbs has been out-carried by Adrian Peterson 41-4 over the last two games, though, and would need more consistent usage to be deemed a potential streamer moving forward. He’s worthy of stashing in the event both Peterson and Thompson are ruled out later on.

Bibbs was the Redskins’ No. 2/change of pace with Chris Thompson sidelined. Thompson seemed close to suiting up this week, so Bibbs is not a compelling waiver wire add.
