Jahmyr Gibbs Week 7 Outlook - Lions at Vikings

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Oct 18th 2024, 12:44am EDT

Gibbs has been awesome this season as the RB10 in fantasy. He ranks 22nd in weighted opportunities, third in red zone touches, and ninth in total touchdowns. Gibbs has averaged 16 touches and 90.4 total yards. Among 61 qualifying backs, he ranks sixth in explosive run rate and 20th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Gibbs has a tough matchup this week on the ground. Minnesota has kept backs in check with the lowest explosive run rate, the second-fewest rushing yards per game, and the seventh-lowest missed tackle rate, but there's a ray of hope. They have also allowed the tenth-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Gibbs 55.3% zone). Gibbs has had 4.82 yards per carry on zone runs, which is 19th-best in the NFL.
