2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gibbs' rookie season was impressive, and the scary thing is he doesn't even look like a finished product yet. More specifically, his pass-catching production almost certainly will improve in upcoming years. During Gibbs' rookie season, his rushing production unexpectedly stood out, including 5.2 YPC and 10 TDs on 182 carries. It now appears he's an even better runner than most projected last spring when the Lions shockingly selected him 12th overall to be the dual-threat complement to bruiser David Montgomery. If Gibbs is a better runner than expected and his receiving contributions eventually reach the levels expected all along, we could eventually be looking at a fantasy MVP sort of player, something like a smaller, faster Alvin Kamara. As the Lions showed in 2023, there's plenty of room for Gibbs and Montgomery to coexist, because the Detroit offense is built from the ground and piles up yardage and touchdowns behind an excellent offensive line. Just the same, Gibbs is one of the NFL's smaller running backs at 5-9, 200, and Montgomery is one of the league's best power runners, depriving Gibbs of massive workloads and consistent access to goal-line carries.

Gibbs rushed 15 times for 43 yards and secured all six targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 34-31 win over the Packers on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Gibbs and backfield mate David Montgomery struggled to find consistent running room, and 20 of Gibbs' rushing yards actually came on one carry. However, the second-year back tied Tim Patrick for the lead in receptions and recorded his second receiving touchdown of the season on a two-yard catch just before halftime. Gibbs now has four total touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving) over the last four games heading into a Week 15 home clash against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 15.

WR Jauan Jennings looks like a legit WR1 for fantasy, dominating the 49ers' pass volume for the past month. RW's Jerry Donabedian comments on that and more in his weekly NFL recap.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gibbs isn't a realistic workhorse candidate at 199 pounds, and his carry count is likely to rank low among the top fantasy backs as a result, but the Alabama product is a unique threat as a receiver and could immediately establish himself as one of the best pass-catching backs of recent memory and distant future. With a 4.36-second 40-yard dash, Gibbs also has long-range speed to make big plays in space. He turned 134 collegiate targets into 104 receptions for 1,217 yards, good for a catch rate of 77.6 percent at 9.1 yards per target. You simply don't see that level of pass-catching efficiency over that amount of volume for a college RB. The Lions thought enough of Gibbs to draft him at 12th overall after trading down, later trading veteran RB D'Andre Swift to Philadelphia. They signed David Montgomery earlier in the offseason to replace Jamaal Williams, but Montgomery mostly figures to get the type of touches (short-yardage, between the tackles) that Gibbs isn't best suited for anyway. The Lions seem to view Gibbs/Montgomery as an upgraded version of the Swift/Williams duo that combined for 2,070 scrimmage yards and 25 TDs in 2022.

Gibbs will be part of his usual timeshare with David Montgomery against the Bears on Thursday, as Montgomery is active.
ANALYSIS
Gibbs could have seen an uptick in touches if Montgomery sat out, but Montgomery will play through the shoulder injury that forced him to exit Detroit's Week 12 win over the Colts. Gibbs has been productive despite working in a timeshare with Montgomery, as the former has 1,151 scrimmage yards and 11 total touchdowns through 11 games, matching Montgomery's touchdown total.
