2024 Projections
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.

Sidelined by minor injury
Gibbs has missed spring practices due to a soft tissue injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The Lions expect Gibbs to be ready for the start of training camp in late July, though coach Dan Campbell noted that the running back's absence this spring is a missed opportunity for growth. Gibbs nonetheless figures to be a huge part of Detroit's offense this season, with the big question being whether he'll take away some of the work that went to backfield mate David Montgomery last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could play key role Sunday
Gibbs' versatile skill set could lead to success in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against a 49ers defense that's struggled against the run in recent weeks, Eric Edholm of NFL.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
Edholm notes the Lions' running back tandem of Gibbs and David Montgomery has been integral to the team's success this season by compiling 1,960 rushing yards, 23 rushing touchdowns and 68 receptions. He adds that the 49ers have had trouble slowing down the run since Week 15, and that with two superior tackles in Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell, Detroit could look to replicate Green Bay's successful strategy of running right at Chase Young in last Saturday's divisional-round clash.

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.
