✕ AVOID

Gibcus didn't take the field in R3 and is listed as omitted, which is a concern given preseason intel had him slated to play. At $139.6k with a 20 BE he has huge cash generation potential, but you can't pick a player who isn't playing. Avoid until he earns a confirmed spot in Richmond's 22.
