Jahmyr Gibbs

Jahmyr Gibbs had his fifth-year option picked up by the Lions which will keep the star running back in Detroit through the 2027 season.

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.

Jahmyr Gibbs carried the ball 19 times for 80 yards and added three receptions for 33 yards and a touchdown in Detroit's 19-16 win over Chicago in the regular season finale.

Fantasy Impact

Gibbs came into the game with 124 yards rushing total over his last four games, but finished with a game-high 80 yards on Sunday - his most since his 219-yard outburst against the Giants on November 23. Gibbs finished his third season with 1,223 yards rushing, 616 yards receiving, and 18 total touchdowns.

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 17 times for 41 yards and losing one fumble while also hauling in two of his three targets for 23 yards in the Lions' 23-10 Week 17 loss to the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Gibbs has fallen victim to poor offensive line play as part of an underwhelming Detroit ground attack of late, finishing with less than 45 rushing yards for the fifth consecutive game. The dynamic running back remains locked in as an RB1 option in all formats despite the inconsistent output of late ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Jahmyr Gibbs ran for two yards on seven carries in the Lions 29-24 loss against the Steelers. He also caught 10-of-13 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact

Gibbs was completely stifled on the ground, but made up for it as a receiver. He was heavily targeted in the second half with Detroit playing from behind. He remains a high-end RB1 moving forward.

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 13 times for 38 yards while also catching four of his seven targets for 20 yards in the Lions’ 41-34 Week 15 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Gibbs has struggled to find running room behind inconsistent offensive line play, rushing for less than 70 yards in four of his last five games. The dynamic running back remains an explosive RB1 option in PPR formats despite facing an aggressive Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 16.
