ESPN Fantasy Football on Jahmyr Gibbs
From the article
Jeanty racked up 147 scrimmage yards, accounting for over half of the Raiders' 290 total yards... he also dominated the backfield volume, out-carrying Mike Washington Jr. 23 to 7. Given the question marks surrounding Bowers' Week 2 availability, Jeanty should eat again at the Chargers... his monopoly on volume makes him a must-start, top-six fantasy RB.
STACKED’s take
Gibbs' 147 scrimmage yards and volume monopoly make him must-start top-6 RB vs. Chargers.
Gibbs looked 100% healthy in Week 1 despite an ankle injury concern, shredding the Dolphins defense with three runs of 10+ yards (fifth-most in Week 1, second-best of his career). He also excelled through the air with two receptions over 10 yards that both went for touchdowns—only the third time in his career he's pulled off multiple chunk receptions in a game. With Brock Bowers sidelined by a knee injury, Klint Kubiak funneled the offense through Gibbs, who racked up 147 scrimmage yards (over half of the Raiders' 290 total yards) and led the team in receiving yards despite the Raiders never trailing. Gibbs dominated backfield volume, out-carrying Mike Washington Jr. 23-7. Given uncertainty around Bowers' Week 2 availability, Gibbs should eat again at the Chargers; while a tougher matchup might keep him under 30 fantasy points, his monopoly on volume makes him a must-start, top-six fantasy RB.
