Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs was held without a catch in Sunday's win over Miami. That's the first time that's happened since Week 4 of the 2024 season. Fortunately, Gibbs didn’t sink lineups with 74 rushing yards and a TD.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact
Jared Goff attempted just 25 passes, but Gibbs' lack of receiving production still came as a major surprise. He drew only 1 target after entering the game averaging 6.2 per outing.
Gibbs’ rushing score came from 8 yards out when he beat LB Jordyn Brooks to the edge on a fourth down pitch. He’s up to 11 total scores this season, a mark he’s hit in all four NFL seasons.
Gibbs certainly underwhelmed with 3.7 YPC, especially against a Miami unit slotted 27th in rush defense DVOA. Still, Gibbs is at a fine 4.8 YPC for the season, just a tick below his 2025 total.
He enters the toughest remaining RB strength of schedule, but that doesn’t downgrade him from the elite tier of fantasy backs. Next up is a matchup with New England.
