Who Should I Start? Jahmyr Gibbs or Chase Brown

Thursday, November 27, 2:09 PM

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.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown surpassed the 100-yard mark for the second time this season in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. Although he didn't find the end zone, fantasy managers were still mostly satisfied with the result. With a productive showing in the rear-view mirror, Brown and company will look to pick up a much-needed win over the Ravens in Week 13. Fortunately, Joe Burrow (toe) will be back after being sidelined since the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ja'Marr Chase will also return after serving a one-game suspension. However, the Bengals will be without Tee Higgins (concussion), so there will be extra targets up for grabs. Naturally, Burrow should look in Chase's direction often. Andrei Iosivas could also be in line for more attention. Still, Brown might see even more pass-catching chances than usual, giving him a higher ceiling for fantasy managers on Thanksgiving.
