2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gibbs' rookie season was already excellent and set him up for even higher expectations in 2024, yet it's safe to say Gibbs exceeded those expectations. He held up for all 17 weeks, including a three-game span in the fantasy playoffs when Gibbs took on a workhorse role while David Montgomery (knee) sat out. It's true that Gibbs wouldn't have had quite as many touches in 2024 if not for Montgomery's injury -- and in general the Lions prefer dividing touches between the two RBs -- but Gibbs was so dominant in Montgomery's absence that it may impact the workload split for 2025 under new offensive coordinator John Morton. As much as Gibbs' carry count might decline if Montgomery stays healthy, it's worth remembering that (A) Gibbs will likely always be among the league leaders in yards and touchdowns per carry, slightly offsetting any volume limitations, and (B) Gibbs showed a new level of pass-catching upside in 2024 and might push for 60-plus catches after logging 52 in both of his NFL seasons.

Three rush TDs in big win
RBDetroit Lions
December 4, 2025
Gibbs rushed 12 times for 43 yards and three touchdowns while bringing in all seven targets for 77 yards in the Lions' 44-30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Gibbs accrued more production through the air, finishing with his second-highest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season. However, the 2023 first-round pick found the end zone a season-high number of times on the ground by recording rush TDs of one, 10 and 13 yards, with the latter two scores coming during the second half of the final quarter. Gibbs also contributed a trio of double-digit gains on his seven catches, and he'll naturally continue to profile as an elite option for a Week 15 road showdown against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Gibbs' rookie season was impressive, and the scary thing is he doesn't even look like a finished product yet. More specifically, his pass-catching production almost certainly will improve in upcoming years. During Gibbs' rookie season, his rushing production unexpectedly stood out, including 5.2 YPC and 10 TDs on 182 carries. It now appears he's an even better runner than most projected last spring when the Lions shockingly selected him 12th overall to be the dual-threat complement to bruiser David Montgomery. If Gibbs is a better runner than expected and his receiving contributions eventually reach the levels expected all along, we could eventually be looking at a fantasy MVP sort of player, something like a smaller, faster Alvin Kamara. As the Lions showed in 2023, there's plenty of room for Gibbs and Montgomery to coexist, because the Detroit offense is built from the ground and piles up yardage and touchdowns behind an excellent offensive line. Just the same, Gibbs is one of the NFL's smaller running backs at 5-9, 200, and Montgomery is one of the league's best power runners, depriving Gibbs of massive workloads and consistent access to goal-line carries.
Gibbs isn't a realistic workhorse candidate at 199 pounds, and his carry count is likely to rank low among the top fantasy backs as a result, but the Alabama product is a unique threat as a receiver and could immediately establish himself as one of the best pass-catching backs of recent memory and distant future. With a 4.36-second 40-yard dash, Gibbs also has long-range speed to make big plays in space. He turned 134 collegiate targets into 104 receptions for 1,217 yards, good for a catch rate of 77.6 percent at 9.1 yards per target. You simply don't see that level of pass-catching efficiency over that amount of volume for a college RB. The Lions thought enough of Gibbs to draft him at 12th overall after trading down, later trading veteran RB D'Andre Swift to Philadelphia. They signed David Montgomery earlier in the offseason to replace Jamaal Williams, but Montgomery mostly figures to get the type of touches (short-yardage, between the tackles) that Gibbs isn't best suited for anyway. The Lions seem to view Gibbs/Montgomery as an upgraded version of the Swift/Williams duo that combined for 2,070 scrimmage yards and 25 TDs in 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension candidate in offseason
RBDetroit Lions
December 1, 2025
Gibbs is expected to get a contract extension offer from the Lions once he's eligible this offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year running back is on pace for a career-best campaign, having already racked up 1,416 scrimmage yards and 13 total touchdowns through 12 games in 2025. Detroit has a track record of locking up key players before they get close to free agency, and an extension for Gibbs could reset the running back market.
