Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jahmyr Gibbs
From the article
During his rookie season, Jahmyr Gibbs was an early-round pick whose explosive speed was expected to allow him to eventually emerge as the Detroit Lions' lead back and a viable RB1. Gibbs flashed those skills, but he struggled to fully overtake David Montgomery. Across the first seven weeks of the season, Gibbs averaged a solid 75 total yards per game but only scored one touchdown in his five appearances, making him more of an inconsistent flex play.
STACKED’s take
Gibbs' 2023 rookie timeshare with Montgomery limited early production despite eventual RB1 emergence.
Gibbs was an early-round pick whose explosive speed was expected to allow him to eventually emerge as the Detroit Lions' lead back and a viable RB1; however, he struggled to fully overtake David Montgomery. Across the first seven weeks of the 2023 season, Gibbs averaged 75 total yards per game but only scored one touchdown in five appearances, making him an inconsistent flex play. He eventually worked his way into the RB1 conversation later in the season, but many fantasy managers who trusted him as their RB2 and top-three-round selection had fallen out of contention by that point. The source uses Gibbs as a cautionary comparison for Love and Price.
