Jahmyr Gibbs News
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes said this week on The Rich Eisen Show that second-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs could have an even bigger role in 2024. "I definitely would expect him to see more of a load, but David Montgomery will still be here too," Holmes said. "Dan and I love that 1-2 punch of him and David." The former first-round pick in 2023 was third among running backs with 5.2 yards per carry in his rookie campaign, so fantasy managers that were already fond of Gibbs' stock in a rising Lions offense will be pleased that he could be even more valuable as an RB1 in 2024. Not only should the 22-year-old former Alabama back see more carries, but he should also be more involved in the passing attack, where he can really excel with yards after the catch in open space. Only seven RBs saw more targets than Gibbs' 71 in 2023.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 12 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught three of his six targets for 11 yards in the NFC Championship Game loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It wasn't his best performance, and his tough day was capped off with a lost fumble on the second drive of the second half to give the 49ers the ball on the 24-yard line. Detroit went on to lose the game 34-31 after leading by 17 points at halftime. Although the turnover will be tough to get past, the 2023 first-round pick had a fantastic debut season with over 1,000 scrimmage yards and double-digit touchdowns. He should be one of the first running backs off the board in 2024 fantasy drafts.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has had a solid start to his postseason career in the team's wins over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams. In those two contests, the first-round rookie rushed 17 times for 99 yards and a touchdown and caught all eight of his targets for 83 yards. He should be heavily involved in Detroit's offensive game plan against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. The Lions are a 7.5-point underdog in that contest, meaning they could be playing from behind. Gibbs had twice as many receptions (26) while the Lions were trailing during the regular season than he did when they were ahead (13). The Niners also surrendered the fifth-most receptions per game to running backs this year (5.3). Ultimately, the stars are aligned for Gibbs to flash his explosive skill set in the running and receiving game on Sunday.

Jahmyr Gibbs enters his second season having already demonstrated his ability to flourish in Detroit's surging offense - even though he functioned in an ongoing rotation with David Montgomery. Gibbs emerged as an explosive weapon that was capable of erupting for sizable yardage as both a rusher and receiver in 2023. Gibbs finished third in rushing yards during his final 11 games (766/69.6 per game), while assembling a league-high nine rushes of 20+ yards and vaulting to second in rushing...
