2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gipson played sparingly through Week 8 of his rookie season. In the second half of the season, his role increased significantly. Although Gipson had just one game with more than 33 yards, it’s difficult to put the blame on him. The Jets could not have had a worse situation at quarterback in 2023. As a result, the entire passing game was inept. After Mike Williams signed with the Jets in free agency, Gipson would need to win the No. 3 role to have potential weekly fantasy value. However, if he doesn’t win the third-receiver job, Gipson may not see significant targets. Read Past Outlooks

Game-ending fumble in loss
Gipson returned three kickoffs for 99 yards and had one punt return for no gain in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. He didn't record a target or carry and lost a fumble.
ANALYSIS
Gipson contributed a 42-yard kickoff return to provide some special-teams value despite a lack of involvement on offense. That contribution was overshadowed by his muffed punt in the fourth quarter, which was a microcosm of the Jets' season. New York had just gotten a stop with 1:44 remaining but burned all three timeouts in the process. Instead of the offense having a chance to at least make it a one-possession game and hope for an onside kick, Gipson's fumble allowed the Rams to retain possession and kneel out the clock.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for WR3 role
Gipson had a strong minicamp and is making a case to open the season as the Jets' slot receiver over 2024 third-round draft pick Malachi Corley, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Gipson made the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2023 primarily due to his contributions as a return man on special teams, but his role on offense grew as the season progressed, and he earned consistent playing time in the slot. Corley has been pegged as the favorite to win the slot receiver job due to his superior college production, but Gipson has excelled throughout the offseason program and appears to have taken a step forward with a year of NFL experience under his belt. Even with the team's increased depth around him, Gipson is well positioned to exceed his rookie totals of 21 catches for 229 yards on 38 targets.
