Fantasy managers who started Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson on Thursday have to be happy heading into the rest of Week 12. The rookie out of Memphis racked up 115 rushing yards, five receptions, 21 receiving yards and three touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys.
Gibson became the first rookie to score three touchdowns on Thanksgiving since Randy Moss did it back in 1998.
Of course, those following the matchups likely anticipated a strong outing from Gibson. The Cowboys rank dead-last against the run and dead-last in points allowed. However, it still would have been hard to predict three touchdowns on the afternoon.
