Fantasy Football Player Notes

Jahmyr Gibbs gained 60 yards on 8 carries while backfield mate David Montgomery added 56 yards and a touchdown on a whopping 18 carries. Gibbs ran the ball down to the goal line on a big play and then Monty punched the score in. Gibbs only saw 2 targets in the game. Montgomery also saw 2 targets.

David Montgomery had out-carried Gibbs - 11 versus 6 - in the first half. He also earned the majority of red zone work (4 vs 3) while the duo split routes run 50/50.

Montgomery played 62% of the snaps and Gibbs played 45% of the snaps.

Because Detroit jumped out to a big lead, it was more of a Monty game. These Lions RBs' ceiling games are tied to game script, but both have high enough floors to be started as high-end fantasy RB2s each week. We could see more of a Gibbs-driven game against the Bears based on how bad they have been against running backs in the passing game this season.
