News: 5 days agoGibbs rushed the ball 11 times for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers. He added one reception on two targets for 11 yards.

Spin: David Montgomery was the favored option in the Detroit backfield in rainy conditions and a positive game script. However, Gibbs had the better fantasy performance thanks to his performance on the team's first possession of the second half, when he tallied an 18-yard rush before finding the end zone from 15 yards away. Gibbs now has eight total touchdowns and has scored in three consecutive games.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Gibbs dispelled any draft-day doubts by finishing as fantasy's RB10 in his rookie season. The 12th overall pick in 2023 showcased his explosiveness in a Lions offense that had the second-most RB rushing yards and attempts. Gibbs had six weeks inside the top three at RB, finished second in yards before first contact and was fifth in fantasy points per touch. Despite being in a committee with David Montgomery, Gibbs was also 12th in scrimmage yards, ninth in total touchdowns and top 10 in targets and receptions. All this while ranking 25th among RBs in touches. He won't have the workload of a feature back, but at just 22 years old, Gibbs is already a superstar and should be viewed as a clear top-10 RB.
