3. Antonio Gibson

Returning to a change of pace running back, Antonio Gibson might not have a home on the New England Patriots. The veteran fumbled in Week 3’s battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers, opening the door for rookie TreVeyon Henderson to take over as the unquestioned starter. If Henderson maintains this workload, New England should trade Gibson for whatever they can get. Again, he’s not a starter, but he can do a little bit of everything and makes sense as a cost-effective fill-in while James Conner recovers from injury.
