Jahmyr Gibbs Week 9 Outlook - Lions at Packers

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Oct 31st 2024, 12:38am EDT

After taking his second carry 70 yards to the house last week, Jahmyr Gibbs was relatively quiet afterward. But that explosive run was enough to vault him into the top 10 for the week. The Detroit Lions have averaged 43 points over their last four games and almost look to be toying with opposing defenses at times. Gibbs is one of several Lions skill players who have been in on the fun. Even though Gibbs splits touches with David Montgomery and faces an above-average Green Bay Packer defense this week, there is no reason to get cute and consider benching Gibbs this week. Treat him like a low-end RB1 who has the capability and the all-around game to post top-five numbers if everything breaks right.
