News: 1 day agoGibbs rushed 12 times for 43 yards and three touchdowns while bringing in all seven targets for 77 yards in the Lions' 44-30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Spin: Gibbs accrued more production through the air, finishing with his second-highest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season. However, the 2023 first-round pick found the end zone a season-high number of times on the ground by recording rush TDs of one, 10 and 13 yards, with the latter two scores coming during the second half of the final quarter. Gibbs also contributed a trio of double-digit gains on his seven catches, and he'll naturally continue to profile as an elite option for a Week 15 road showdown against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The reigning No. 1 fantasy RB, Gibbs scored a position-high 20 TDs while dominating as both a rusher (fifth in yards) and receiver (top six in targets, catches and yards) last season. The with/without David Montgomery splits are notable here, however, as Gibbs averaged 16.3 touches and 18.2 fantasy points per game (sixth best) in 13 games with a healthy Montgomery, but 22.5 touches and 31.5 points per game (first) without. Montgomery is back, so Gibbs' touch ceiling may be slightly lower than a few other top backs, but with his skill set and Detroit's high-powered offense, he's undoubtedly a strong fantasy RB1. The 23-year-old should be one of the first players off the board on draft day.
