22-Year-Old Running BackRB
Detroit Lions
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. Read Past Outlooks

Key fumble in loss
RBDetroit Lions
January 28, 2024
Gibbs rushed the ball 12 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the 49ers. He added two receptions (on four targets) for 11 yards.
ANALYSIS
Gibbs began the game well, picking up 35 yards from scrimmage on the team's first four possessions. He had a highlight reel 15-yard touchdown run on the final drive in that span, juking several defenders and breaking through a couple tackles in the process. Things took a turn for the worse midway through the third quarter, however, as Gibbs lost a fumble that led directly to a game-tying touchdown for San Francisco. He got only one touch after that play, a sour close to an otherwise excellent rookie year in which he posted 1,261 yards from scrimmage with 11 total touchdowns across 15 regular-season games. Gibbs will be back with the Lions in 2024 and should lead the backfield alongside David Montgomery.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could play key role Sunday
RBDetroit Lions
January 26, 2024
Gibbs' versatile skill set could lead to success in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against a 49ers defense that's struggled against the run in recent weeks, Eric Edholm of NFL.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
Edholm notes the Lions' running back tandem of Gibbs and David Montgomery has been integral to the team's success this season by compiling 1,960 rushing yards, 23 rushing touchdowns and 68 receptions. He adds that the 49ers have had trouble slowing down the run since Week 15, and that with two superior tackles in Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell, Detroit could look to replicate Green Bay's successful strategy of running right at Chase Young in last Saturday's divisional-round clash.
