For the first time this season, Jahmyr Gibbs failed to score a touchdown in Week 7. That said, he still ran the ball 29 times for 116 yards and caught five of six targets for 27 yards. With 35 implied touches, Gibbs continues to have a dominant workload and the fantasy points to show for it. At the end of the game it appeared that he may have tweaked his ankle, however, reports have not indicated any issues. This week, they face their undefeated divisional rivals. The Vikings offense has not been exciting, however, their defense has stepped up every game. They are top four in fewest fantasy points allowed to each of the QB, RB and WR positions. If they can slow down the entire offense, they may be able to limit Gibbs' ceiling. That said, he is the safest player to score a touchdown and grind enough yards to have another solid fantasy outing.
