However, the Detroit Lions zeroed in and grabbed their guy. Gibbs is a 21-year-old stud coming off an excellent performance in college. In 2022 against the #20 ranked Arkansas Razorbacks, Gibbs had 18 carries for 206 rushing yards and two touchdowns. He also caught the ball twice for 20 yards. The very next week against SEC foe Texas A&amp;M Gibbs had 21 carries for 154 yards while catching three passes.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs was also very productive through the air with nine catches for 74 yards against Texas. Five catches for 48 yards against Tennessee and four catches for 65 yards against University of Louisiana Monroe. Gibbs finished the 2022 season with 151 carries for 926 yards, an average of 6.1 per carry, and seven touchdowns. Gibbs caught 44 passes for 444 yards, an average of 10.1 yards per reception, and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2611\ufe0f1st Round Draft Capital<br \/>\u2611\ufe0f1,000+ yards at Alabama<br \/>\u2611\ufe0f 93rd Percentile College Target Share<br \/>\u2611\ufe0f 99th Percentile 40-Yard Dash<br \/>\u2611\ufe0f Swift&#39;s vacated 15.1% Target Share <\/p>\n<p>Jahmyr Gibbs is in for a huge year <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aX4vBK66ig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/aX4vBK66ig<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PlayerProfiler (@rotounderworld) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rotounderworld\/status\/1691478471170564097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 15, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/08\/04\/justin-fields-2023-fantasy-football-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">Justin Feilds Fantasy Football Outlook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/08\/26\/patrick-mahomes-2023-fantasy-football-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">Patrick Mahomes Fantasy Football Outlook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2023\/08\/07\/10-last-place-fantasy-football-punishments-for-your-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 Fantasy Football League Loser Punishments<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Best Value at ADP for A Rookie<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bijian Robinson is one of the most sure running back prospects to join the NFL in the last few seasons. The price tag on Robinson is a hefty one though. He is currently going as the third overall running back at 8.3 ADP in full PPR on Sleeper. Gibbs however, is going off the board as the 14th running back with an average draft position of 35.5.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jahmyr Gibbs leaving Jack Campbell in the DUST \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs\u2019 speed has reportedly caused \u201cmajor problems\u201d for defenders throughout training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Daboll (Giants HC) called Gibbs an \u201cunbelievable player\u201d after facing him in joint practices.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs reportedly already looks\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YlnwICAHoP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/YlnwICAHoP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NFL Rookie Watch (@NFLRookieWatxh) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLRookieWatxh\/status\/1692640233769066783?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 18, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Dan Campbell is a no-nonsense type of coach. When he goes out of his way to select a player, there\u2019s no doubt that player is going to be used and used a lot. The Detroit Lions had the third most total yards of any offense in the entire NFL in 2022 and don\u2019t show any signs of slowing that down. D\u2019Andre Swift is out of town. Jameson William is suspended for six games and is already battling injury. Amon-Ra St. Brown has also been battling injury. They are going to turn to Gibbs early, and often.<\/p>\n<p>The departure of D\u2019Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams opens up a lot of touches from 2022 that will have to be filled in 2023. Swift played in 14 games and accounted for 99 carries for 542 yards and five rushing touchdowns. Swift also made an impact in the receiving game catching 48 passes for 389 yards and an additional three tough downs through the air. Jamaal Williams played in all 17 games and racked up 262 carries for 1,066 rushing yards and an astonishing 17 touchdowns on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the addition of David Montgomery coming over from the division rival Chicago Bears, Jahmyr Gibbs should be the lead back in Detroit and with his ability to both run and catch, Gibbs has the potential to be the steal of the draft and turn into a #1 running back in fantasy football.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jordan Love!
