Mixon or Gibson this week? (1 Viewer)

[Ramerica]

This is a full PPR league and I need to decide between these two running backs for this week. I'm projected to lose and need upside. Mixon is coming back from a high ankle sprain and will probably play. Gibson is taking over the top rb spot this week with Stevenson out. I would normally pick Mixon, but I'm hesitant to do so out of fear that he quickly hurts the ankle again or gets fewer reps than normal because they want to bring him back slowly. With Gibson, I can see him getting a lot of dump offs as a security blanket with Maye starting his first game at QB and he should get the majority of RB snaps. Am I right to be leaning toward starting Gibson? Thanks for the help!

Joe Mixon @ NE

or

Antonio Gibson vs. HOU

If Mixon IS playing and you are sure he is playing I’d start him. If not Gibson.

Id start Gibson as he will get almost all touches. Peirce is also coming back so look for a committee in Hou as they ease Mixon in.

From what I’m hearing he is starting with no restrictions so if this is true I stick to my original thoughts. Should no for sure in a few hrs.
