News: 2 days agoGibbs carried the ball 20 times for 68 yards and caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.

Spin: After three straight games with more than 140 scrimmage yards, Gibbs' Thanksgiving output was something of a disappointment. He also watched his backfield partner, David Montgomery, punch in a three-yard score in the second quarter, after Gibbs had delivered Detroit's last four rushing scores. Gibbs did pass the 1,000-yard milestone on the ground for the second straight season, and through 12 games he's amassed 1,019 rushing yards and 397 receiving yards with 13 total TDs. He stands a good chance of producing another ceiling game in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The reigning No. 1 fantasy RB, Gibbs scored a position-high 20 TDs while dominating as both a rusher (fifth in yards) and receiver (top six in targets, catches and yards) last season. The with/without David Montgomery splits are notable here, however, as Gibbs averaged 16.3 touches and 18.2 fantasy points per game (sixth best) in 13 games with a healthy Montgomery, but 22.5 touches and 31.5 points per game (first) without. Montgomery is back, so Gibbs' touch ceiling may be slightly lower than a few other top backs, but with his skill set and Detroit's high-powered offense, he's undoubtedly a strong fantasy RB1. The 23-year-old should be one of the first players off the board on draft day.
