Who Should I Start? Jahmyr Gibbs or Elic Ayomanor

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.

Late in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Rams, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward connected with receiver Elic Ayomanor for what would be the first touchdown of each of their careers. The pass came on a brilliant scrambling play by Ward that saw him throw the ball nearly 50 yards across the field as Ayomanor broke open in the endzone. On a day when Ward threw for less than 150 yards, his developing chemistry with Ayomanor was apparent, as his fellow rookie tied for the team lead in targets and receptions, and had only one fewer yard than Calvin Ridley. The Titans have opened the year against two of the stingier defenses in the league in the Broncos and Rams. Still, their offense has shown glimpses, and with the WR2 role seemingly locked up, Ayomanor is a priority add in all league formats.
