Jahmyr Gibbs Week 8 Outlook - Titans at Lions

Before their Week 5 bye, the Detroit Lions had done a seemingly impossible job of splitting the fantasy goodness almost evenly between its top two running backs. Jahmyr Gibbs had four straight games where he finished between RB9 and RB16, while David Montgomery landed between RB8 and RB18 in all four games. However, things have not been quite as harmonious coming out of the bye. Two weeks ago, Montgomery was the RB5 while Gibbs was the RB23. But last week, Gibbs led all running backs in fantasy points, while Montgomery was the RB35. Gibbs is the safer bet of the two to post RB1 numbers this week, but his floor may be slightly lower than some of the other running backs in this range.
