Jahmyr Gibbs Fantasy Overview

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. "I just got dinged up a little bit, like a little shoulder thing, but I'm good," Gibbs said after practice. We'll keep an eye on his status, but Gibbs should be ready for his usual high-volume role vs. the Vikings this weekend.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details, but Gibbs did finish out the Week 7 win over the Packers. He also appeared on The Pat McAfee Show today and said, "My body feels good." This is likely just some early-week maintenance for a guy who's averaged 27.7 touches through 6 games. We'll update Gibbs' status again tomorrow. Sione Vaki would be Detroit's likely lead back if Gibbs misses Sunday's game vs. the Vikings.

Gibbs carried a heavy load in the close win, rushing 29 times for 116 yards and catching 5 of 6 targets for 27 more. His 34 touches came on a season-high 90% of snaps, and he finished as RB13 for the week. But he averaged just 4.0 yards per carry and 5.4 yards per catch, and he lost a fumble. Gibbs was also held without a TD for the first time this season. He had a chance to score late but went down intentionally to help the Lions run out the clock. He landed awkwardly on the play but was able to walk off the field on his own.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs was simply rude to the host Cardinals in Sunday's win. He racked up 151 yards and 2 TDs on 25 carries, with another 56 yards on 5 catches among 6 targets. He ranked second on the team in targets and catches (tied) while checking in third in receiving yards. Gibbs' 100.8 rushing yards per game sit 17.7 higher than his previous peak, and his 48.6 receiving yards per game mark a jump of 12.4 from last year's high. That rate has increased each of the past three years. But should we be concerned about all the hits he's taking?
