Lions (vs Packers): Personnel on dropbacks: 11 at 58%, 12 at 27%, 21 at 6%, 13 at 6% RBs: Jahmyr Gibbs: 97% opp share, 91% rush att share, 73% route share, 21% TPRR, 1.12 YPRR, 100% of i10 rush att, 83% of 2min RB snaps, 75% 3rd down snap share 1.01 Sione Vaki: 3% opp share, 3% rush att share, 12% route share Still unsure if he’s 100% the handcuff to own, but I think he should still be rostered in a lot of places since the chance of being a higher opp share RB in this O is valuable WR/TEs (33...PositiveUsageOct 12, 2026
Lions (at Cardinals): Game decided from 9:37 of Q3, so competitive-only numbers below RBs: Jahmyr Gibbs: 90% opp share, 56% route share, 100% of i10 rush att, 60% of 2min RB snaps, 33% 3rd down snap share 1.01 as always Sione Vaki: 10% opp share, 36% route share, 0% of i10 rush att, 40% of 2min RB snaps, 67% 3rd down snap share Still don’t know if he’s the full handcuff or not, but probably worth rostering given the state of the offense and Gibbs workload WR/TEs (25 competitive dropbacks): Am...PositiveUsageOct 5, 2026
Lions (at Carolina): RBs: Jahmyr Gibbs: 91% opp share, 64% route share, 100% of i10 rush att, 100% of 2min RB snaps, 58% of 3rd down work Gibbs is 1.01 in this O with this workload Sione Vaki: 9% opp share, 15% route share, 42% of third down work Seems like the handcuff - we will never truly know, but should be owned in more leagues in case WR/TEs (53 dropbacks): Sam LaPorta: 81% route share, 23.3% TPRR, 1.95 YPRR, 10.0 aDOT, 49% slot 10 targets, 8 catches, 84 yards He will oscillate between...NegativeNewsOct 4, 2026
Checking potential weather issues courtesy of @KevinRothWx Panthers & Lions could be impacted by rain O/U for the game still remains at 51.5 and not enough wind for the pass game to really be that impacted I’m still starting Tetairoa McMillan, ARSB, Sam LaPorta, & Jalen Coker (if he plays and is not limited) Jamo is a high end WR3 for mePositiveUsageSep 27, 2026
NYJ at DET (Lions) RBs: Jahmyr Gibbs - 77.1% opp share, 58.3% route share, 2 of 2 i10 rush att, 57.1% of 2-min RB snaps Basically does everything that counts for fantasy production - 1.01 environment and talent Sione Vaki - 22.9% opp share, 13.9% route share, 0 i10 att, 45.5% of RB third down work Still unsure how this would shake out if Gibbs got hurt, but Vaki’s been the only person that’s been involved at RB other than Gibbs WRs/TEs: Sam LaPorta - 83.3% route share, 0.133 TPRR, 1.47 YPRR,...NegativeNewsAug 20, 2026
Rankings are updated based on heightened injury risk for Sam LaPorta and potential to miss a game or two to start the season Effects on Jameson Williams (mainly him) and others accounted for as well Use promo code "zain" to access on @MBFantasyLifeNegativeUsageAug 20, 2026
Not great for Sam LaPorta - we need injuries off now - he wasn’t a huge target of mine, but definitely has top 5 TE range of outcomes
