Fantasy Impact: Gibbs, the 12th overall pick by the Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, is off to one of the best three-year starts to a career in NFL history. The three-time Pro Bowler has scored the most total touchdowns (49) by any player in his first three seasons in league history. In 2025, Gibbs ran for 1,223 yards and 13 touchdowns while adding 77 catches for 616 yards and five more scores - actually a little down from his 1,929 yards from scrimmage and 20 scores the previous year. With David Montgomery leaving for Houston, Gibbs is poised for an even bigger workload in 2026, even with the addition of Isiah Pacheco from Kansas City. Gibbs should be the first or second running back taken in all fantasy drafts.
