News: 3 days agoGibbs rushed 19 times for 71 yards while catching two of three targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Texans.

Spin: Gibbs was the only position player for either side to crack 100 total yards from scrimmage in an odd game that featured seven combined interceptions. Co-starter David Montgomery struggled on the ground (12-32-1) but was also the beneficiary of Detroit's lone rushing touchdown on the night. Both tailbacks should be considered universal starts in all fantasy formats heading into a soft matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday.

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.
