From the article

Gibbs toted the rock 29 times — for 156 yards — against the Saints. Backup Sione Vaki had two carries for seven yards. Gibbs also caught five passes for another 30 yards. His 29 carries were five attempts more than anyone else in the NFL in Week 1. Make no mistake about it — Gibbs is a distinct workhorse in this Lions offense.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Gibbs is a clear workhorse with 29 carries and 5 receptions in Week 1.

Gibbs is now a distinct workhorse in the Lions offense after two seasons in a committee with David Montgomery. In Week 1 against the Saints, he carried 29 times for 156 yards (five more attempts than any other NFL back that week) and caught five passes for 30 yards. The Lions want him to touch the ball as frequently as possible, and his explosiveness and workhorse role likely contributed to him going No. 1 overall in fantasy drafts.
