DET RB Jahmyr Gibbs - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Jahmyr Gibbs saw much more use in the passing game in Week 2, catching seven passes for 39 yards against the Seahawks. He may see more work on the ground as well this week as chances are David Montgomery will not play Sunday. Gibbs was already a good play thanks to his receiving ability. His value only goes up now. Get him in your lineups against the Falcons.

DET RB Jahmyr Gibbs - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Jahmyr Gibbs only had 9 touches in Week 1, but there shouldn't be any reason to worry. He's involved in the passing game and should get more work as the season progresses. We could see that this week in a good matchup against the Seahawks, who allowed three rushing touchdowns last week against the Rams. Gibbs is a strong RB2 play this week.

DET RB Jahmyr Gibbs - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Kansas City Chiefs

The Lions are ready to unleash their first-round running back in Jahmyr Gibbs and the excitement is high on what he can add to the passing offense. He’ll take over the D’Andre Swift role in Detroit and should also see touches on the ground as well. He was a very successful running back at Alabama after all. He’s also facing a Chiefs defense that was very favorable for opposing running backs in 2022, allowing the lost receptions to the position. The Lions want to get off to a fast start this season so expect Gibbs to see plenty of work Thursday, making him a very strong and arguably top-10 fantasy option this week.

DET RB Jahmyr Gibbs - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
If a team drafts you high in the NFL Draft, they usually have a plan for you and are very high on you. We can say that about the Lions and Jahmyr Gibbs, the No. 12 pick in last April's draft. Gibbs is expected to take the D'Andre Swift role, meaning he could be involved early and often in the passing game, boosting his PPR value.

Fantasy Downside
The Lions also brought in former Bear David Montgomery, who will take over the Jamaal Williams role. As a result, Gibbs may not see a full workload on the ground.

2023 Bottom Line
Despite sharing the work with Montgomery, Gibbs still has plenty of upside. He caught 44 passes last season at Alabama. For the record, Swift caught 48 passes and saw 70 targets last season in Detroit and finished as RB21 in total PPR points. That was also with missing three games. He was RB16 in PPR points per game. Gibbs is a solid RB2 with RB1 upside.
