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.

Released by the Jets in September of 2025.
Stays in Big Apple with Big Blue
Gipson was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gipson won't have to move after being claimed by the Jets' MetLife Stadium roommates the day after being waived by New York's AFC team. His costly fumble on a kickoff return in Week 1 proved to be the end of the line for Gipson with the Jets, but he has shown some explosiveness in the return game when he holds onto the ball, so the Giants could utilize the 5-foot-9 wide receiver on special teams.

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.
