Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs laid an egg the last two weeks for fantasy managers, but he was able to finish out the season strong in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Chicago Bears in the Week 18 regular-season finale. Gibbs led the Lions with 19 carries for 80 yards and also caught three of his five targets for 33 yards and his fifth touchdown reception of the year. Overall, the 23-year-old was once again one of the most productive RBs in the NFL in his third year in the league. Gibbs finished with 1,223 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground, adding a career-best 77 catches for 616 yards and another five scores as a receiver. He was the Lions' clear leading ball-carrier this year over David Montgomery, and Gibbs should profile yet again as a top-five fantasy RB going into 2026 drafts.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been inconsistent as a rusher in recent weeks, as he's been held to 3.6 yards per carry or less in five out of his last six games. The 23-year-old was able to save his Week 16 production with his work as a receiver, recording 10 catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gibbs has been heavily involved in the Lions' passing game since Detroit placed tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve. Across six games without LaPorta, Gibbs has hauled in 40 catches for 333 yards and two touchdowns on 51 targets. Gibbs' receiving work may need to continue carrying his production in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings enter the week ranked 12th in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (4.1). Gibbs had his least productive game of the season in his first matchup of the year against Minnesota, racking up just 28 scrimmage yards on 12 touches in Week 9. However, he may see a few more touches this time around, as Lions back David Montgomery (illness) is officially listed as questionable to play on Thursday. Gibbs remains a must-start fantasy running back, but fantasy managers may want to downgrade expectations in Week 17.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had a miserable day as a rusher in Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, recording just two rushing yards on seven attempts. However, the 23-year-old saved his production with his work out of the backfield as a receiver, hauling in 10 catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets. Gibbs has now been held to 43 rushing yards or fewer in three straight games and four out of his last six contests. Still, his involvement in the passing game provides a relatively safe PPR floor. Across six games since Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve with a back injury, Gibbs has recorded 40 receptions for 333 yards and two touchdowns on 51 targets. He's racked up 1,662 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns across 15 games this season and remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into his Week 17 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Dec 22, 2025 11:44 AM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had a disappointing game in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams, totaling just 58 scrimmage yards and failing to reach the end zone on 17 touches. On the bright side, the 23-year-old continues to feature heavily in the Detroit passing game. Gibbs earned seven targets in Week 15 and has seen 38 targets across five games since Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve with a back injury. In Week 16, Gibbs and the Lions will host the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense profiles as a mid-pack unit against the run, ranking 19th in the NFL in total rushing yards allowed (1,692). Gibbs should continue to see a heavy volume of touches as both a rusher and a receiver, and his big-play ability allows for explosive upside. Fantasy managers can view Gibbs as a must-start running back in Week 16.
Dec 19, 2025 11:19 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs posted an underwhelming performance in his team's Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, recording 58 scrimmage yards and zero touchdowns on 17 touches. The 23-year-old's 3.4 yards per touch against Los Angeles was his third-worst mark of the season and his worst since Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. On the bright side, Gibbs continues to be a featured player in the Lions' passing game. He saw seven targets in Week 15 and has earned 38 targets across five games since Detroit tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve with a back injury. Gibbs also out-snapped fellow Lions running back David Montgomery 52 to 18 in Week 15, marking the fifth straight game where Gibbs has logged at least 20 more snaps than his backfield running mate. Despite the frustrating showing against the Rams, Gibbs remains a must-start fantasy running back in Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dec 15, 2025 11:05 AM EST
Across 13 games this season, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has recorded 1,536 scrimmage yards and 16 touchdowns on 245 touches. The 23-year-old has logged at least 146 yards from scrimmage in four out of his last five games while also scoring nine touchdowns in that span. A big part of Gibbs' recent surge has been increased involvement in the passing game. Across four games since Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve with a back injury, Gibbs is averaging 7.8 targets per contest. In Week 15, Gibbs will face a Los Angeles Rams defense that currently ranks eighth in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (3.9) and has allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns in the league (four). Still, the Lions will likely continue to funnel touches to him as both a rusher and a receiver, and Gibbs is always a threat to make a big play. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 15.
Dec 12, 2025 11:56 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had 12 carries for 43 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Thursday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught all seven of his targets for an additional 77 receiving yards. The 24-year-old's explosive season continues, as he has now recorded three-touchdown performances in three of the last five weeks. He's a top-three running back in PPR scoring this year with a whopping 58 catches so far. He also has 16 touchdowns and over 1,500 scrimmage yards. David Montgomery remains a factor in Detroit, but clearly, this backfield belongs to Gibbs. He should continue to be viewed as a high-end RB1 going forward, even in non-PPR leagues. He'll look to build on his success in 10 days against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15.
Dec 5, 2025 12:32 AM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been special so far this season, recording 1,416 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns on 226 touches across 12 games. Since Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties in Week 10, Gibbs is averaging 21 touches per game. With star Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) officially questionable to play in Week 14 due to an ankle injury, Gibbs could be in for a heavy workload as both a rusher and receiver against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. For the season, the Dallas defense ranks 27th in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (4.7). However, the Cowboys have been better of late, allowing opponents to an average of 69 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks. Still, the Lions appear likely to force-feed Gibbs touches against Dallas. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 14.
Dec 3, 2025 9:29 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs did not have his most efficient day in his team's 31-24 Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, recording 86 scrimmage yards and failing to find the end zone on 23 touches. However, Gibbs has now averaged 24.5 touches per game over the last two weeks. With Detroit likely to be without both wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and tight end Sam LaPorta (back) for Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys and possibly longer, the Lions seem likely to continue force-feeding Gibbs the ball. Across 12 games this season, the 23-year-old has recorded 1,416 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns on 226 touches and now profiles as by far the most reliable weapon on his team's offense. As long as Gibbs can stay healthy, he profiles as a must-start fantasy running back.
Nov 28, 2025 11:17 AM EST
The Detroit Lions are expected to sign star running back Jahmyr Gibbs to a contract extension this offseason. Gibbs is currently on the four-year rookie deal he signed in 2023 and could be the next Lion to sign a massive extension. The Lions are looking to keep their core together, as they recently extended Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson, Jameson Williams, and Jared Goff. Gibbs has been terrific for the Lions and fantasy managers this season. The 23-year-old has rushed for 951 yards on 155 rushing attempts and 10 touchdowns while catching 48 passes for 379 yards and three scores over 11 games. Gibbs has been one of the best running backs in football in an explosive Lions offense and is a surefire first-round pick heading into 2026 fantasy football drafts.
Nov 27, 2025 2:09 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs carried his team to an overtime victory over the New York Giants in Week 12, recording 264 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 26 touches. Gibbs has been highly productive as both a rusher and receiver since Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over as the team's play-caller in Week 10, amassing 582 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 42 carries and 19 catches over his last three games. The 23-year-old's job will get more difficult in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. Through 12 weeks, Green Bay is allowing an average of 3.9 yards per carry and has given up just eight rushing touchdowns. Gibbs had one of the least efficient games of his career against the Packers in Week 1 of the 2025 season, totaling 19 rushing yards on nine carries and 31 receiving yards on 10 receptions. Detroit will also be missing two starters on the interior of its offensive line in Week 13. Still, Gibbs could see heavy work as a receiver and remains a high-upside, must-start fantasy running back against Green Bay.
Nov 26, 2025 10:24 PM EST
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had 15 carries for 219 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 12 overtime victory over the New York Giants. He also caught 11 of 12 targets for an additional 45 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. The 23-year-old enjoyed one of the most memorable games of his young career, amassing more than 55 fantasy points in PPR leagues and helping Detroit secure an overtime victory. The highlights of Gibbs' games were a 49-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter and a 69-yard rushing touchdown in overtime. He will remain a spectacular high-end RB1 option against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13.
Nov 23, 2025 5:12 PM EST
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.
Nov 22, 2025 12:55 AM EST
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.
