New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed for just four yards on three carries during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also converted his lone target into a nine-yard reception. This was easily Gibson's quietest game of the season, and while part of the blame can be placed on the game script, it's also worth noting that he was third in the pecking order on Sunday. He finished Week 7 with just 10 snaps, which was less than JaMycal Hasty's 20 and Rhamondre Stevenson's 30. It's unclear whether this trend is here to stay, but it should certainly have fantasy managers concerned heading into Week 8 against the New York Jets. Gibson can be benched or dropped in fantasy football going forward.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs took full advantage of an increased role in Week 7, leading his team to a thrilling 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. With David Montgomery (knee) missing snaps due to a knee injury, Gibbs stepped up in a big way, rushing 15 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns while adding four receptions for 44 yards. Gibbs' first score came on a 45-yard run early in the second quarter, breaking free off the right side. He added a second touchdown just before halftime, an eight-yard run that helped the Lions build their lead. Gibbs finished with an impressive 7.7 yards per carry and one of the top overall fantasy performances in Week 7, showcasing his explosiveness and versatility. The Lions will look to keep momentum at home, and Gibbs remains a must-start against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8.
