Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was one of his team's lone bright spots in their 16-9 Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gibbs rushed for just 39 yards on 12 carries against the Eagles, but he hauled in five receptions for 107 yards on eight targets. The 23-year-old has now recorded at least 140 scrimmage yards in three out of his last four games and has already topped 1,000 scrimmage yards for the season. On paper, Gibbs has a good chance to extend his hot streak in Week 12 against the New York Giants. New York is allowing the most yards per carry (5.5) to opposing running backs in the NFL so far this season. There's also reason to believe that Gibbs will continue to feature heavily in Detroit's passing game. In the two games since Lions head coach Dan Campbell has taken over as the team's play-caller, Gibbs has been targeted 12 times. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 12 against New York.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs struggled to find running room in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, handling 12 carries for 39 yards, but was dynamic as a receiver with a team-high five catches (eight targets) for 107 yards. Gibbs has now topped 140 yards or more from scrimmage in three of the past four games and was one of the few bright spots in a tough offensive showing from the Lions. The 23-year-old posted his highest receiving total of the season and his most receptions in a game since Week 3. That could be a featured part of Detroit's offense moving forward, with Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week. Gibbs will again rank as one of the elite RBs in fantasy in Week 12 against the New York Giants.
Nov 17, 2025 12:29 AM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs dominated the Washington Commanders in Week 10, recording 172 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 18 touches. He'll now face a significantly tougher test in Week 11 when the Lions travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. The Eagles' defense is a mid-pack unit in yards per carry allowed (4.4). However, they rank in the top ten in the NFL in per-game opponent scoring (21.3 points per game). One possible boost for Gibbs' fantasy value in Week 11 is his potential for receiving work. The Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back) against Philadelphia, which could put Gibbs in position for more targets. Even in a tough matchup, Gibbs profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 11.
Nov 14, 2025 10:44 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had 15 carries for 142 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. He also caught three of his four targets for an additional 30 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Just one week removed from a disappointing showing at home, Gibbs bounced back with a monstrous three-touchdown explosion on the road. This marked his largest fantasy points total of the 2025 season, vaulting him to the overall RB4 spot in PPR leagues. Managers should continue to deploy Gibbs as a high-end RB1 in fantasy football, including next week against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Nov 9, 2025 8:53 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had one of the least productive games of his career in Week 9, recording just 28 yards from scrimmage on 12 touches in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old has been much better for the season overall with 748 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 142 touches across eight games. Gibbs will be looking to rebound in Week 10 when Detroit faces the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks 22nd in yards per carry allowed (4.4) and 25th in total rushing yards allowed (1,118). Despite the favorable matchup, there is reason for concern along the Lions' offensive line. Detroit will be without starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg), and starting left tackle Taylor Decker is questionable to play due to a shoulder injury. Even still, Gibbs profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 10.
Nov 7, 2025 9:07 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had one of his worst games as a pro in his team's 27-24 Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Gibbs was held to 28 scrimmage yards on 12 touches and did not score a touchdown. The 23-year-old has mostly been a fantasy weapon so far this season, recording 748 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns on 142 touches across eight games played. However, there are a couple of worrying signs for Gibbs. He's currently averaging 4.9 yards per carry and 5.3 yards per touch, both of which would be career lows if they were to sustain for the remainder of the season. Additionally, the Lions lost starting left guard Christian Mahogany (knee) to a significant knee injury in Week 9, which could be a major issue for the team's run blocking. Still, Gibbs remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Nov 3, 2025 1:06 PM EST
Through his first seven games of 2025, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has recorded 720 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns on 130 touches. In his final outing before Detroit's Week 8 bye, Gibbs racked up 218 scrimmage yards and two scores in 20 touches against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In Week 9, Gibbs and the Lions will face a Minnesota Vikings defense that has been roughly mid-pack against the run. Through eight weeks, Minnesota ranks 20th in rushing yards allowed (913) and 10th in rushing touchdowns allowed (five). Gibbs had two monster performances against the Vikings in 2024, recording a combined 327 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 47 touches. Lions RB2 David Montgomery did not play in one of those games, but Gibbs' history of success against Minnesota is still noteworthy. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 9.
Oct 31, 2025 4:21 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs erupted against Tampa Bay on Monday night, handling 17 carries for 136 yards and two touchdowns and adding three receptions (three targets) for 82 yards. Gibbs delivered his statement performance of the season, surpassing 100 rushing yards for the first time this year. His 218 total yards were more than double his previous season high of 104, which came back in Week 2 against the Bears. His 82 receiving yards were also the second most in a game in his career. The superstar running back has once again been a touchdown machine this season and remains one of the premier players in fantasy football.
Oct 21, 2025 12:11 AM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been a featured piece in his team's offense all season long, recording 502 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 110 total touches. However, Gibbs has seen his role in the passing game decrease in recent games. After earning 19 targets across the first three weeks of the season, he's seen just six over the last three. If Gibbs is not featured as a receiver in Week 7, he may have a difficult time producing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay currently ranks fifth in the NFL in yards per carry allowed. If there's a bright spot for Gibbs, it's that he logged seven receptions in Detroit's Week 2 matchup against Tampa Bay last season. The 23-year-old still profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 7, even in a less-than-ideal matchup against the Buccaneers.
Oct 18, 2025 10:27 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs posted his least efficient game of the season in his team's 30-17 Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Gibbs recorded just 65 rushing yards on 17 carries and zero receiving yards on one catch. He also failed to find the end zone for just the second time in six games so far this season. On the bright side, Gibbs has now recorded at least 15 touches in five out of six games in 2025 after failing to do that in six out of 17 games in 2024. The 23-year-old remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into a Week 7 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Oct 14, 2025 12:23 PM EST
Even in a relatively quiet game by his standards, Jahmyr Gibbs was still able to record 87 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 14 touches in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Gibbs logged fewer touches than fellow Lions back David Montgomery for the first time this season, but that could be due to Detroit holding a large lead for most of the game and the fact that Montgomery is a Cincinnati native. Gibbs will now square off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6, who have been a below-average rushing defense so far this season. Through five games, Kansas City ranks 24th in rushing touchdowns allowed (six) and 26th in yards per carry allowed (4.8). Gibbs should be heavily featured in the Lions' game plan and profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 6.
Oct 10, 2025 5:49 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught two passes for 33 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown reception. If not for finding the end zone, Gibbs would have had a relatively modest final line of 14 touches and 87 yards, so fantasy managers will appreciate that he was able to cross the goal line. It was interesting to see David Montgomery reclaim the lead-back role with his 18 carries, but that could have been a product of the game script. It also may have been part of the Lions' effort to honor the narrative of Montgomery returning to his birthplace of Cincinnati once the score got out of hand. Whatever the reason, managers should have no concerns about Gibbs going forward. He remains one of the league's most talented and versatile running backs, and it doesn't hurt that he plays for a high-powered offense within a 4-1 team. The 23-year-old remains a mid-range RB1 option in fantasy football for Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Oct 6, 2025 1:20 AM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is off to a hot start to the 2025 season with 350 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 78 total touches through his first four games of the season. Gibbs is set up well to continue that success in Week 5, when he gets a favorable matchup on paper against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards and fifth-most rushing touchdowns in the NFL through four weeks. Gibbs is a lock to be a significant part of the Lions' offensive game plan, so volume of touches should not be an issue. In Week 5, Gibbs is a must-start fantasy running back across all formats.
Oct 3, 2025 4:41 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs recorded 97 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 17 total touches in his team's Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns. The 23-year-old has now logged 271 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 58 carries to go along with 20 catches for 79 yards through four games. Gibbs has also out-touched fellow Lions running back David Montgomery in all four of Detroit's games so far in 2025. As long as he stays healthy, Gibbs should remain a must-start fantasy running back.
Sep 29, 2025 7:59 PM EST
Through his first three games of 2025, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is averaging just 4.2 yards per carry, significantly worse than the 5.6 yards per carry he posted in 2024. Still, Gibbs has been highly productive for fantasy, recording 253 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 61 total touches. The third-year back has been heavily featured in the passing game, ranking second on the team in targets (19) behind only star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. Gibbs gets a tough matchup in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns, who have allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL (172) through three weeks. Gibbs' involvement as a receiver gives him a steady floor, but he may struggle to find success as a rusher against the Browns. In Week 4, Gibbs profiles as a low-end fantasy RB1.
Sep 26, 2025 9:54 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries while catching five balls for 32 yards as a receiver against Baltimore on Monday night. Gibbs was not efficient on his rushes, gaining just three yards per carry. The 27 touches are tied for the third most he's had in his career, with the other games occurring because David Montgomery was out. He continues to be an absolute touchdown machine, scoring 39 touchdowns in 39 career games. The receiving value could be unlocked this year as well, as Goff has peppered him underneath with 18 receptions already in three games. Montgomery had a monster night as well, but this offense has shown to be plenty good enough to support both horses, and it looks like Gibbs is earning the bigger piece of the share. He's locked in as one of the best players in fantasy.
Sep 23, 2025 12:55 AM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was highly efficient in Week 2, recording 104 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 15 total touches. The 23-year-old has been heavily featured as both a rusher and a receiver in the early going with 21 carries and 13 catches through his team's first two games. Gibbs will face a Ravens defense in Week 3 that is historically tough to run on, but will be missing star defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck). In his lone career matchup against Baltimore back in 2023, Gibbs recorded 126 yards from scrimmage on 11 carries and nine receptions. Fantasy managers should expect Detroit to continue finding ways to get the ball in Gibbs' hands. He remains a must-start running back in Week 3.
Sep 20, 2025 9:01 PM EST
Detroit Lions star running back Jahmyr Gibbs had no problem carving through the Chicago Bears' defense on Sunday, as he rushed 12 times for 94 yards (7.85 YPC) and hauled in all three of his targets for an additional 10 yards through the air. His touchdown run came from six yards out in the first quarter to put the Lions up 7-0. The Lions never looked back and ended up winning 52-21 on the afternoon. Most importantly, the Lions offense looked the part on Sunday, proving that their Week 1 stinker was an outlier in what is still an offense with an extremely high ceiling. Gibbs remains the X-factor in this offense and remains a must-start at the running back position moving forward. Next up for Gibbs and the Lions is a tough matchup at Baltimore in Week 3.
Sep 15, 2025 9:50 AM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had one of the least efficient games of his career in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, totaling just 50 yards from scrimmage on 19 touches without reaching the end zone. Gibbs led the Lions in receptions with 10, but he was only able to log 31 receiving yards on those 10 catches. The 23-year-old has a much easier matchup on paper in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, who allowed 120 rushing yards to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. In two games against Chicago last season, Gibbs rushed for 196 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries and added six catches for 62 yards as a receiver. However, it's worth noting that fellow Lions back David Montgomery did not play in one of those games, and Gibbs had fewer rush attempts (nine) than Montgomery (11) against the Packers on Sunday. Gibbs remains a must-start fantasy RB1 in Week 2, but he may need to stay heavily involved as a receiver to post a monster game.
Sep 12, 2025 1:00 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was a consensus early first-round pick in fantasy drafts this year after recording over 1,900 yards from scrimmage and leading the NFL with 20 touchdowns in 2024. Heading into his third NFL season, Gibbs could be gradually stealing touches from his veteran backfield mate, David Montgomery. However, Gibbs has not historically had huge fantasy success against his Week 1 opponent, the Green Bay Packers. In four career games against Green Bay, Gibbs has averaged just over 11 touches for just over 68 yards per contest and scored only one touchdown. The Packers defense generally excels with speed over power, so the Lions have leaned on their physical run game behind Montgomery in recent seasons. Gibbs is still clearly a must-start fantasy RB1 this week with massive upside, but past performance against the Packers suggests this might not be a monster showing for him.
