Kapri Bibbs Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Packers claim RB Kapri Bibbs off waivers, which seems like a decent indication that Aaron Jones is dealing with an injury that's going to require him to miss at least a little time. With only two games to go in the regular season, the Packers will likely lean heavily on Jamaal Williams with Bibbs being better suited to handle some passing down work. Williams is going to be a viable value target if Jones can't go, as Bibbs wouldn't figure to be a threat to his early down work and isn't likely to eat into the equation in the red-zone.

Adrian Peterson should lead the Redskins backfield again behind a battered Redskins offensive line. However, the team comes in as 3-point road underdogs against Tampa Bay which could potentially mean more passing down snaps for Kapri Bibbs if expected game flow comes to fruition. Even if it doesn’t, the Bucs have been far more susceptible to the pass than run this year with opposing teams resorting to the air early and often, perhaps making Bibbs a better play than Peterson considering price.

Thompson appears doubtful again this week, leaving Adrian Peterson to lead the Redskins backfield behind a battered Redskins offensive line. However, the team comes in as 3-point road underdogs against Tampa Bay this week which could potentially mean more passing down snaps for Kapri Bibbs if expected game flow comes to fruition. Even if it doesn't, the Bucs have been far more susceptible to the pass than run this year with opposing team resorting to the air early and often.

Redskins will be without Chris Thompson against ATL; Richardson and Bibbs both considered questionable

Perine tweaked his groin during the early part of practice Thursday, and there was some concern that he would miss this game. With his team extremely thin at running back, Perine will suit and play despite his injury. The matchup is not great for the Redskins this week, but if Perine was to sit then Kapri Bibbs usage in the offense would add to his appeal as a cheap source of salary relief.

Midweek injuries are never a good thing, and Samaje Perine's hurt groin has this thin Washington backfield trending towards being down another player in week 16. With the Redskins eliminated, there's little reason for Perine to risk further injury in a relatively meaningless game and it looks like the team could take an extended look at Kapri Bibbs. The Broncos have a tough run defense, but Bibbs provides appeal due to his low price and potential workload.

Perine was forced out practice early on Thursday with a groin injury and the team announced today that he will not practice on Friday. Coach Gruden hinted that the injury could be minor but he's uncertain about Perine's status for Sunday. Kapri Bibbs and LeShun Daniels would fill in if Perine is unavailable for Week 16.

He was given a 2-4 week timeline to heal and the Broncos needed the roster spot for Justin Forsett. It's unfortunate as Bibbs had a shot to earn the starting job over a struggling Devontae Booker. With Bibbs done, it'll be Booker and Forsett going forward and neither have been particularly effective this season. It's a situation to monitor this week as Forsett should acclimate quickly as he played in Kubiak's offense back in 2014.

Bibbs left the Broncos' game with the Jaguars yesterday after injuring his ankle. He had rushed for 49 yards on five carries before he was forced out. He should be considered doubtful for Week 14 as he's reportedly dealing with a high ankle sprain, which typically takes multiple weeks to heal. Devontae Booker will be the feature back for Denver, but he struggled against the Jaguars, only rushing for 35 yards on 18 carries (1.9 ypc). They face Tennessee in Week 14, who rank 14th against the rush. Booker will get the volume, but will have trouble being effective with his opportunities; he's averaging 3.5 ypc on the season, and he's running behind a poor offensive line.
