2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gipson regressed in 2024 after a promising 2023 rookie season as an undrafted free agent out of Stephen F. Austin. He dropped from 21 catches for 229 yards to six catches for 39 yards on offense, and his all-purpose yardage total dipped from 1,127 to 799. The 5-9, 189-pound Gipson likely won't become more than a part-time slot receiver and gadget player on offense, but his contributions as a punt and kickoff returner give him a decent chance to stick on the Jets' 53-man roster.

Ruled out for Friday
Gipson (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Gipson suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys and was unable to practice during the week in any capacity. In Gipson's absence, Will Shipley should be the team's primary kick returner, and Jahan Dotson and Britain Covey seem the likeliest candidates to serve as the punt returner for Friday's matchup against the Bears.

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.
