2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gibbs' rookie season was impressive, and the scary thing is he doesn't even look like a finished product yet. More specifically, his pass-catching production almost certainly will improve in upcoming years. During Gibbs' rookie season, his rushing production unexpectedly stood out, including 5.2 YPC and 10 TDs on 182 carries. It now appears he's an even better runner than most projected last spring when the Lions shockingly selected him 12th overall to be the dual-threat complement to bruiser David Montgomery. If Gibbs is a better runner than expected and his receiving contributions eventually reach the levels expected all along, we could eventually be looking at a fantasy MVP sort of player, something like a smaller, faster Alvin Kamara. As the Lions showed in 2023, there's plenty of room for Gibbs and Montgomery to coexist, because the Detroit offense is built from the ground and piles up yardage and touchdowns behind an excellent offensive line. Just the same, Gibbs is one of the NFL's smaller running backs at 5-9, 200, and Montgomery is one of the league's best power runners, depriving Gibbs of massive workloads and consistent access to goal-line carries.

Gets 20 touches in Week 2 loss
RBDetroit Lions
September 15, 2024
Gibbs rushed 13 times for 84 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Gibbs kept Detroit's hopes alive with a 23-yard run to convert on 4th-and-1 with 1:23 remaining, but he was tackled short of the line to gain on a fourth-down catch 30 seconds later. Gibbs out-gained David Montgomery by 49 yards on the ground and also got seven of the 12 targets among Lions running backs (four for Montgomery, one for Sione Vaki), but Montgomery got the opportunity to punch in a one-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter and capitalized on it. Despite being Detroit's 1B option by the goal line, Gibbs should remain heavily involved Week 3 against the Cardinals thanks to his versatility and explosiveness.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gibbs isn't a realistic workhorse candidate at 199 pounds, and his carry count is likely to rank low among the top fantasy backs as a result, but the Alabama product is a unique threat as a receiver and could immediately establish himself as one of the best pass-catching backs of recent memory and distant future. With a 4.36-second 40-yard dash, Gibbs also has long-range speed to make big plays in space. He turned 134 collegiate targets into 104 receptions for 1,217 yards, good for a catch rate of 77.6 percent at 9.1 yards per target. You simply don't see that level of pass-catching efficiency over that amount of volume for a college RB. The Lions thought enough of Gibbs to draft him at 12th overall after trading down, later trading veteran RB D'Andre Swift to Philadelphia. They signed David Montgomery earlier in the offseason to replace Jamaal Williams, but Montgomery mostly figures to get the type of touches (short-yardage, between the tackles) that Gibbs isn't best suited for anyway. The Lions seem to view Gibbs/Montgomery as an upgraded version of the Swift/Williams duo that combined for 2,070 scrimmage yards and 25 TDs in 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nearing return to practice
RBDetroit Lions
August 20, 2024
Gibbs, sidelined by a hamstring injury, is likely to return to practice following the Lions' third preseason game Saturday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Gibbs has been sidelined for the last week, though coach Dan Campbell has consistently downplayed the issue. There was some hint that perhaps the second-year back could be slowed early in the season by the injury, as Campbell lamented Gibbs' lack of ability to practice and was non-committal about his game shape coming out of the extended layoff. There's little doubt that the team will work Gibbs into its Week 1 gameplan against the Rams, but David Montgomery could take on an expanded role early in the new campaign.
