BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End RB1
ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs saw 11 carries for 66 yards and one touchdown while also catching three of his four targets for 16 yards. Gibbs has had a terrific rookie season thus far, now totaling 128 touches for 692 yards and six touchdowns through 14 weeks of play.
The rookie has started to come into his own as he has been an end zone magnet this season. Gibbs has now scored six touchdowns in his last seven weeks for the Lions. Gibbs has quickly turned from a debatable fantasy option to an automatic starter week in and week out. The Lions have used Gibbs in both the rushing and the receiving game which gives him a very stable floor and has the potential to see a boom week if he can continue to see touchdowns.
In Week 15, the Lions will face off against the Denver Broncos who rank dead last in the NFL in fewest yards allowed this season to the running back which gives Gibbs a very favorable matchup in this one. Expect Gibbs to find production in both the rushing and receiving game and could find himself having on of his better yards per carry games of the year. Gibbs should be started in all lineups for Week 15.
Jahmyr Gibbs is listed 7th in our Half-PPR rankings.
