Jahmyr Gibbs Could See More Receiving Work in Week 7?

Saturday, October 18, 10:27 PM

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.

RJ Harvey Ready to Provide Stand-Alone Fantasy Value Against Eagles

Saturday, October 4, 9:16 AM

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey was able to earn a season-best 41% of snaps in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, this was due to replacing J.K. Dobbins for the majority of the 4th quarter in a blowout win. The rookie running back will look to carve out a role against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. While Harvey will increasingly develop confidence in the coaching staff and through his own experience on the field, it's likely that, barring an injury to Dobbins, he will continue to be a change-of-pace back in closer games. The explosive rookie is developing some standalone value as a flex starter. Still, Dobbins' strong performances might continue to hold him back from reaching his actual ceiling as a talented 2nd round pick. Harvey is considered a solid FLEX play and is currently RB34 in the latest RotoBaller Week 5 rankings.
