Jahmyr Gibbs News
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has rushed 14 times for 59 yards and caught nine passes on 11 targets for 57 yards in his first two NFL games. His usage is expected to see an uptick as the season progresses, and with David Montgomery (thigh) looking doubtful to play against the Atlanta Falcons, this could be the spot for him to produce a boom performance. The rookie should see the majority of touches if Montgomery is on the shelf, so he would become a virtual must-start option. Craig Reynolds would likely mix in on early downs, though. If Montgomery surprisingly plays, Gibbs will continue to have low-end PPR league flex value.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed seven times for 17 yards and caught seven of his nine targets for 39 yards in the overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Fellow running back David Montgomery (thigh) left the game early, setting up Gibbs to play the majority of passing downs. The rookie's stat line did not help fantasy managers in standard leagues, but his seven receptions were enough to make him a decent play in PPR formats. If Montgomery has to miss time moving forward, he should see his role increase dramatically. It's worth noting Craig Reynolds could see touches alongside him.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was out-touched by David Montgomery nine to 21 in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. That said, he's a risky flex option moving forward until his workload sees an uptick. Depending on when he was drafted, some fantasy managers might not have a choice but to start him every week. That could lead to plenty of down weeks, but he should eventually handle a healthy workload and deliver strong performances as an explosive pass-catching running back. He's worth a dice roll in PPR formats, but he should likely remain on the bench in standard leagues against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs was surprisingly selected twelfth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. The former Georgia Tech and Alabama running back should see work right away following the trade of D'Andre Swift, and will pair with David Montgomery to form a formidable running back duo. With Jameson Williams suspended for the first six games of the season, Gibbs is expected to line up in the slot early and often. He has an Austin Ekeler/Alvin Kamara-type ceiling this season as he...
