Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed eight times for 31 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 83 yards and a receiving touchdown in the team's Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Gibbs and the Lions struggled to run the ball most of the game and threw the ball often in comeback mode. Gibbs did manage to score the team's only rushing touchdown and ended up being the third-leading receiver in the game for Detroit. The versatility of the running back was on display in this game as his heavy pass-game involvement led to a productive fantasy output. Gibbs is one of the top fantasy running backs in the NFL and will continue that trend for the rest of this season.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs faces a Buffalo Bills defense in Week 15 which is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. While he splits time with David Montgomery in the Lions' backfield, Gibbs is heavily involved in the passing game and has the ability to break long runs with his superior speed. The Lions should lean on the rushing attack in this matchup of heavyweights and Gibbs should feature heavily in the game plan. In his last six games, the talented running back has four rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown. Continued success is likely for Gibbs in this matchup with a big play or two likely against the Bills leaky run defense (or in the receiving game). Fantasy managers are likely starting Gibbs with confidence each week and this week should be more of the same.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs found paydirt on Thursday during the 34-31 win over the Green Bay Packers. The "Sonic" half of the backfield duo hauled in a two-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to end the first half and give Detroit a ten-point lead. He went on to finish the game with 15 carries for 43 yards and six receptions for 30 yards and a score. Gibbs couldn't find as much open space as David Montgomery in this game, but the touchdown provided a nice fantasy scoring boost. He'll go up against a vulnerable run defense in the Buffalo Bills in Week 15 and look to find some more running room.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs will look to deliver a cleaner performance when the Lions face the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night in Week 14. Despite his efficiency in the Thanksgiving win over Chicago rushing for 87 yards on just nine carries Gibbs' fantasy output was dampened by a costly red-zone fumble and limited touches. He also caught two of four targets for 17 yards, ending the day with 11 total touches. This week, Gibbs will take on a Packers defense that allows the eighth most rushing yards per game but struggles against pass-catching backs, surrendering the eighth-most receptions and sixth-most receiving yards to the position. Gibbs' dual-threat ability keeps him in RB2 territory with upside, as Detroit's offense looks to remain the class of the NFC North.
