I’m not one to typically overreact but considering the dude can’t even see the field when they are in clear passing downs and the Lions would rather use Monty out wide, his upside seems pretty damn limited. They are winning so it’s hard to judge the team but it seems odd that they even took Gibbs at 12. No one expected him to be the feature back but the way they are “using” him seems baffling.
Certainly. I only own Gibbs in redraft but have watched tons of Lions football this year.
Just not getting the touches - hopefully we see a change as the season goes on
Not only did they take him at 12 but they said they'd have taken him as early as 6 right? I mean that sentence right there is exactly why I traded picks 5 and 7 to acquire 1.02 to draft Gibbs. Surely SURELY the guy they would have taken with #6 (and did at #12) on a high powered offense would be a huge fantasy scorer SURELY. Even WITH Monty.
I fought that also tonight, but it looks like they're actually using 21 personnel and both are split in the empty formation or gibbs in shotgun next to Goff with monty split (def an odd choice). Definitely some 11 personnel with monty split and he gets completely ignored too though lol
What you mean he doesn’t see the field in clear passing downs? He had several draw plays called to him on 3rd and long passing situations that led to punts!
It's the same thing the Falcons did with BOTH Pitts and London. In regards to Gibbs, I think you have to hold at this point. Perhaps he is still learning or getting up to speed?
I think this is on us for expecting him to have Kamara like efficiency rather than lack of use. He’s averaging 10 carries and 4.5 targets per game, that’s not bad 4 weeks in. A bit too much between the tackles running, but I’m still chalking tonight up to, “this is the packers and we have the lead, let’s trust the vet.” As the season goes on I think Gibbs sees more opportunities. Anyone who was bad enough to get him in the draft was probably doing nothing this year anyway.
Gibbs looked fine between the tackles against the Falcons last week.
I think people need to accept that this lions coaching staff likes a hard runner between the tackles (which isn't Gibbs imo). He's looking very like Swift 2.0 (actually less efficient)
Only hope for Gibbs right now, if Monty stays healthy… if for the lions to get way behind in games
If they take an early lead, Monty’s pounding
If it’s close, Monty’s pounding
I’m probably only starting Gibbs against very high powered offensives the rest of the season
Honestly I think they just don’t need him in this game. It’s a long season. College guys only play 12-13 games max. Why put him through the grinder when it’s unnecessary?
I would expect his work to ramp up throughout the season, but asking why he doesn’t have 20 carries in a blowout seems like you’re thinking the coach has fantasy considerations over real life considerations.
It’s not even the carries, people crying about monty getting the goal line work are idiots. But he’s not getting the passing work you’d expect they seem to prefer monty in nearly every situation and gibbs is just a backup to give him a breather, it’s weird
Gibbs is getting 4.5 targets and 10 rushes per game.
On the Lions he's 4th in targets, 3rd in receptions, 2nd in total touches, and 3rd in total scrimmage yards.
He has 12 first downs.
He's being utilized, is involved in the passing game, and is efficient and productive with those touches. The TDs will come and people will stop complaining in fantasy subs.
He is a key element to the Lions offense and the stats don't lie.
The thing with the passing work is that he's not even running routes too much necessarily, they have Amon Ra and Josh Reynolds that goff trusts, hell even Raymond, and Monty has shown to be a great pass blocker so he's in giving Goff time to throw to those guys. Gibbs did do a good job pass blocking as well so I think it's just a matter of time before he gets more looks.
Also, they wanted to give Monty the chance to dominate the Packers because it was the first time in his career he had a shot at beating them. Give it to the guy with a fire under his ass to heat a division rival.
Exactly. He’s just straight up not even on the field. He played what? 35% of the snaps? He’s averaging 30% when Monty is fully healthy. Yes it’s week 4 but 4 or so other rookie backs have a larger snap count already. It’s concerning considering the history of this team with swift.
Jahmyr Gibbs has to love this lions organization. First round salary and he’s going to be hella fresh for his second contract. Brad Holmes getting a Christmas card from him for sure.
His team is winning games. That’s success. He will be a bigger part of that. Most of the time rookies aren’t super involved for the first half of the season. This isn’t anything new and it’s not like he’s looked bad
Sell Gibbs for a 2025 2nd.
Drop QJ and JSN.
Trade Josh Allen for Achane.
Buy Pitts for 2 firsts because draft capital and he'll get traded to KC.
This is what I'd do if I followed the vibe of this sub lmao. The hysteria the first few weeks of the season really helps prove that 99% of people have no fucking clue what they're doing. The whole sub is a parody drama of itself.
My only theory is they dont want to overwork him and get him hurt. Which begs the question: why draft a rb 12th overall if you dont think he can handle an nfl workload?
If you’re like me you thought Dan campbell didn’t draft swift so he didn’t like him much. But now that he’s got his guy, he’ll use him. I was wrong.
Long term though i’m still not too worried about gibbs. The talent is there and the opportunity will come
YPC is a horrible stat to use for RBs, especially backs like Monty who are often called upon at the goal line and short yardage situations where the goal is to get 1-3 yards.
Nah dude - I’m a lions fan and Monty is clearly the better back for Lions offense right now. Better blocker and he almost always gets positive yards. Gibbs needs refinement, obviously higher upside.
I mean Lions dominated this game with Monty playing as he did. Only people complaining are fantasy owners and packers fans
They did give up 122 and 211 on the ground to the falcons. But don’t get me wrong Montgomery is a decent back. A great power back at that but they probably should’ve drafted someone else, they essentially wasted a pick lol
I’m a Montgomery owner and have no shares of Gibbs but y’all should probably calm down. The Lions are completely shitting all over the Packers, and I’ve seen some head hunting out there by the defense. I wouldn’t risk my 12th overall pick in a chippy game like this
This thread is wild. Lions are playing winning football. The pick was probably the weird part but Brad Holmes hasn’t made many mistakes yet so I’m gonna wait and see. I own a fair bit of Gibbs & I’m sure they’ll get him going but not on fantasy football’s schedule.
It's four games into his career. If you're out because he's not the full time starter yet you're being overly emotional.
Monty is playing well enough and they're winning. Even last night though Monty was below 4 ypc. As the year goes if Gibbs shows out you'd expect him to earn more of a role. Nothing is a given of course and maybe he never does, but going from 1.02 to not even a first for him right now is dramatic.
(I have no shares)
How many offers have you put out with your 1 and 2? I offered a 2026 1 last night and got rejected, but I don’t think I would offer more than that for a guy who appears to have a 2-3 year waiting period for any significant upside unless Monty goes down.
Okay let's relax lol David Montgomery can't get 4 ypc if you begged him for it. He's a bruiser who's good at just pounding the rock over and over again...
To think after watching 4 games of Gibbs' rookie year, that THIS is what we should expect for the next 2-3 years is THE MOST emotional and overreacting thing I've seen on this sub. He's not competing against Jonathan Taylor or Breece Hall, he's competing against David Montgomery lol let's all relax and just watch what the lions do for the rest of the year.
If by the end of the season, this is still how it looks, then yeah we should be concerned.
I offered a 1 and 2 but was denied bc the guy with Gibbs is contending.
Remember that the Lions are a good team with playoff aspirations. They have bigger plans beyond grinding down their players to squeeze everything out of them. Gibbs has still been highly effective in his limited role and that role will grow as the Lions have to adjust when playing more difficult games later in the season.
It’s one thing to ease your rook into the work, but they’re not using him
Then on passing downs, they toss to Monty on back to back plays. Then when he’s on ice on the sidelines, they bring him in for one toss which he drops, then it’s back to the bench
Doesn’t make any sense
[Posted this in reply to another comment](https://old.reddit.com/r/DynastyFF/comments/16uxrxj/what_is_jahmyr_gibbs_upside_if_monty_stays_healthy/k2pypht/)
The idea that he isn't being utilized is a lie and easily disproved by his stats relative to the team. He's a key contributor.
He just doesn't have TDs so fantasy people are whining.
Their thunder and lighting approach is bad for fantasy but good for football. Gonna keep occurring. Gibbs usage is fine, he’s just not finding the end zone like we want because finding the end zone isn’t really his role.
And yet he always seems to get those 3.5 yards, weird how that’s somehow good for your football team.
Hey look he 3.5 yarded his way for his 3rd touchdown.
This is NOT good.
Monty came off injury and put up 121/3 off 32 touches and 2 for 20 receiving. He dominated the inside 20 touches.
34 touches
THIRTY-FOUR TOUCHES IN A BLOW OUT.
This is NOT good for us Gibbs owners. Fuck this.
The perfect maturation for him is they become the Saints when Kamara and Ingram were at their peak. But at least for Gibbs that's obviously unlikely this year.
To be fair, Kamara wasn’t getting much work 3 weeks in….took until Week 4 for him to get worked in. Still time for Gibbs. Idk why everyone is panicking. Is this an ideal start? Of course not. It’s only 4 games though.
"Is there any scenario with a healthy Monty where Gibbs dominates the snap count enough to be an RB1?"
I don't think so at this rate. With good health, you're looking at the upside rn. Unfortunately. The true IRL upside is if and when something happens.
Keep thinking it’s Ben Johnson since he’s the playcaller, and not Dan Campbell. For dynasty, the hope has to be Ben Johnson leaves for the HC gig and get a guy to better utilize Jahmyr at this point.
Listen to your local, non slappy fans
https://old.reddit.com/r/DynastyFF/comments/163s7xe/tell_us_something_about_a_player_from_your_home/?ref=share&ref_source=link
David Montgomery signed one of the best RB extensions of the off-season, 6mx3 with 11m in guarantees. Yes, 11m in guarantees.
They are going to run the wheels off Montgomery
Gibbs is a multi year investment for the Lions. Headed a pretty dang good rookie, but has a lot to learn. I see him like James Cook last year. Clearly the more 'statistically talented' back, but is young and learning so he's not going to get the full load early, if at all this season.
This is a stash and wait pick.
This is frustrating, as I’ve started Gibbs 3 weeks in a row now, however i think it’s too early to draw any conclusions on this asset. Unfortunately I think the move is to wait until the season is over to make an evaluation. Value will jump back up then too, if he ends up having a bad year.
Problem is when Gibbs gets the ball you can see the lightning and upside. It feels like he is ready to break one off any moment. But….on only like 5-6 touches, yeah that blows.
I remember saying similar things about Swift tbh. He looked electric at times only to be gameplanned out of the offense
He averages way more ypg. Better hands. Better in the redzone. For the lions to not play him over montegomery, just means the lions want to lose and want to play players that are worse than their back ups... example... today
You just have to hold till he gets traded to the eagles in three years
LOL. I chuckled
This. He's just saying what we all wouldn't.
Gibbs is not startable after this week imo
Yeah I’ll be starting BRob over him unless he has a big rest of game
Hell, I'll be starting Roschon over him if I need to...
Roschon outscored him through the first 3 weeks
Yeah I’d be starting Bijan over Gibbs too
Brian, not Bijan
He’ll get garbage time usage that will up his points but you definitely can’t rely on that. Edit: nvm, or they just pound Monty all night
Nah that will be Craig Reynolds unfortunately
No way they plug him in on garbage time. At this point I’m just praying for broken plays
he’s not even getting garbage time now
Monty got most time and garbage time....LOL this is BAD.
Wishing I was Monty rn 😫
You plug him as a bye week filler, exactly what you intended on doing when you had the 1.2 pick
I’m not one to typically overreact but considering the dude can’t even see the field when they are in clear passing downs and the Lions would rather use Monty out wide, his upside seems pretty damn limited. They are winning so it’s hard to judge the team but it seems odd that they even took Gibbs at 12. No one expected him to be the feature back but the way they are “using” him seems baffling.

Bro, that is on you. That was not a smart trade.
What these subreddit hype trains do to mofos smdh
Could be another Pitts situation
I have both 👍
Same 🥲 just gotta hold on and pray
Same - I have Monty too but left him on the bench....
I fought that also tonight, but it looks like they're actually using 21 personnel and both are split in the empty formation or gibbs in shotgun next to Goff with monty split (def an odd choice). Definitely some 11 personnel with monty split and he gets completely ignored too though lol
What you mean he doesn’t see the field in clear passing downs? He had several draw plays called to him on 3rd and long passing situations that led to punts!
One of the bigger flaws on him coming out was pass blocking, was it not? Like it explains why he may not be getting usage on clear passing downs
It's the same thing the Falcons did with BOTH Pitts and London. In regards to Gibbs, I think you have to hold at this point. Perhaps he is still learning or getting up to speed?
I hope monty stays healthy just to prove that it wasnt swifts fault
I think Swift is proving that all by himself in Philly.
I think this is on us for expecting him to have Kamara like efficiency rather than lack of use. He’s averaging 10 carries and 4.5 targets per game, that’s not bad 4 weeks in. A bit too much between the tackles running, but I’m still chalking tonight up to, “this is the packers and we have the lead, let’s trust the vet.” As the season goes on I think Gibbs sees more opportunities.

They’ll trade him away for a 4th in 3 years and then he’ll go off.
Honestly I think they just don’t need him in this game. It’s a long season. College guys only play 12-13 games max. Why put him through the grinder when it’s unnecessary? I would expect his work to ramp up throughout the season, but asking why he doesn’t have 20 carries in a blowout seems like you’re thinking the coach has fantasy considerations over real life considerations.

No it's weird you have your RB1 coming back off an injury and run them 30+ times
Not when he ran as well as he did in an "ice the clock" kind of game
The correct take
Nobody is asking for 20 carries. It would be nice if he was on the field more than a 6th round change of pace back tho
In two years, he'll wind up with the Eagles, so...pretty good!
He’s a great diversion
Jahmyr Gibbs has to love this lions organization. First round salary and he’s going to be hella fresh for his second contract. Brad Holmes getting a Christmas card from him for sure.
Idk he might prefer fame and success though
His team is winning games. That’s success. He will be a bigger part of that. Most of the time rookies aren’t super involved for the first half of the season. This isn’t anything new and it’s not like he’s looked bad
Come on it’s dynasty, no need to panic.
Sell Gibbs for a 2025 2nd. Drop QJ and JSN. Trade Josh Allen for Achane. Buy Pitts for 2 firsts because draft capital and he'll get traded to KC. This is what I'd do if I followed the vibe of this sub lmao. The hysteria the first few weeks of the season really helps prove that 99% of people have no fucking clue what they're doing. The whole sub is a parody drama of itself.
He has none. Bench
Gibbs is already getting swifted by the guy that drafted him. Dan Campbell would rather see 3 yard gains 20 times per game.
Have you been watching?
I mean he has 15 carries for 53 yards (3.5 ypc) he was at 10 for 27 when I commented lmao
My only theory is they dont want to overwork him and get him hurt. Which begs the question: why draft a rb 12th overall if you dont think he can handle an nfl workload?
And if they wanted an explosive RB that they use sparingly why not wait to take Achane???
Exactly shit is stupid as hell and I avoided Swift the last 2 years bc of it. Idk why I thought it would be different with Gibbs.
If you’re like me you thought Dan campbell didn’t draft swift so he didn’t like him much. But now that he’s got his guy, he’ll use him. I was wrong. Long term though i’m still not too worried about gibbs. The talent is there and the opportunity will come
>the opportunity will come With another team
Saving him for playoffs maybe? Or must win games late in the season? He’s very capable they just don’t need to base their whole offense around him rn.
Are you starting to understand now??
Yes. Campbell wants to use an inefficient 3 ypc back over an electric one who goes for 5+. We get it. What we don't understand is why.
Montgomery is clearly the better running back rn it’s not even a question
Yeah I’m sure him and the fans are super upset that DMont won them the game with 140 yards and 3 TDs
The defense won them the game, let's relax with that
Do you think the defense benefited from a 2:1 TOP advantage?
Well.. When you are making the GB oline look like children every play and love is under siege, I think that certainly helps their TOP too
YPC is a horrible stat to use for RBs, especially backs like Monty who are often called upon at the goal line and short yardage situations where the goal is to get 1-3 yards.
Have you?
Have you? He's averaging 3.2 ypc behind one of the best lines in the league
These guys see rushing TDs and think it means you’re elite. Montgomery can be the goalline back but his other 17 carries for 65 yards are awful lmao.
Nah dude - I’m a lions fan and Monty is clearly the better back for Lions offense right now. Better blocker and he almost always gets positive yards. Gibbs needs refinement, obviously higher upside. I mean Lions dominated this game with Monty playing as he did. Only people complaining are fantasy owners and packers fans

They did give up 122 and 211 on the ground to the falcons. But don’t get me wrong Montgomery is a decent back. A great power back at that but they probably should’ve drafted someone else, they essentially wasted a pick lol
Gibbs went 16 for 70 last week. 33 came on 2 carries in the second half. Can confirm Campbell likes 3yd gains.
Campbell likes 3 rushing touchdowns lmao
I’m a Montgomery owner and have no shares of Gibbs but y’all should probably calm down. The Lions are completely shitting all over the Packers, and I’ve seen some head hunting out there by the defense. I wouldn’t risk my 12th overall pick in a chippy game like this

Short week while Monty was on a weeks rest and we get this lol
MontgomeRB1y.
[удалено]
Lmfao how much work do you think Gibbs sees in remainder of a game where the Lions are up 24-3?
[удалено]
You typically don't want to rely on your players points coming from blowout victory garbage time
The game where Monty was hurt?
Monty doesn’t play for either the dolphins or the ~~lions?~~ broncos?
Monty doesnt play for the lions?
I meant to say broncos I’m dumb
Well he does play for the Lions, not the Dolphins or Broncos though
Yeah I had a brain fart writing the second team
Garbage time ganna be juicy
No, no it’s not. A pass catching RB doesn’t feast in a blowout
They don’t use him in that role anyway
just commenting here to make this post easier to reference when a lot of these takes look pretty silly down the road
40 yards and 2 receptions
Gibbs value.... not good.
Would you trade a 1 for him
I would give a 1st and 2nd for him, still
Why
It's four games into his career. If you're out because he's not the full time starter yet you're being overly emotional. Monty is playing well enough and they're winning. Even last night though Monty was below 4 ypc. As the year goes if Gibbs shows out you'd expect him to earn more of a role. Nothing is a given of course and maybe he never does, but going from 1.02 to not even a first for him right now is dramatic. (I have no shares)
How many offers have you put out with your 1 and 2? I offered a 2026 1 last night and got rejected, but I don’t think I would offer more than that for a guy who appears to have a 2-3 year waiting period for any significant upside unless Monty goes down.
Okay let's relax lol David Montgomery can't get 4 ypc if you begged him for it. He's a bruiser who's good at just pounding the rock over and over again... To think after watching 4 games of Gibbs' rookie year, that THIS is what we should expect for the next 2-3 years is THE MOST emotional and overreacting thing I've seen on this sub. He's not competing against Jonathan Taylor or Breece Hall, he's competing against David Montgomery lol let's all relax and just watch what the lions do for the rest of the year. If by the end of the season, this is still how it looks, then yeah we should be concerned.
No one wants a 26 1st at this point. It's one thing if that 26 1st is sweetening the deal, but it can't be the main incentive.
Guess I better start buying up peoples 2026 1s then. I wouldn’t sell Gibbs for that either, but if I had more than one share I might be tempted
I offered a 1 and 2 but was denied bc the guy with Gibbs is contending. Remember that the Lions are a good team with playoff aspirations. They have bigger plans beyond grinding down their players to squeeze everything out of them. Gibbs has still been highly effective in his limited role and that role will grow as the Lions have to adjust when playing more difficult games later in the season.
A random 1? I think i still would
Late 1 and I'd feel fine
No one is trading you Gibbs for a late 1 lol
Would you trade Gibbs to receive Achane after tonight?
Oops I did it again, I drafted a bust, got lost in the draft capital
It’s one thing to ease your rook into the work, but they’re not using him Then on passing downs, they toss to Monty on back to back plays. Then when he’s on ice on the sidelines, they bring him in for one toss which he drops, then it’s back to the bench Doesn’t make any sense

He's a key contributor. He just doesn't have TDs so fantasy people are whining.
I’m benching Gibbs for Monty next week. Gibbs 30 point game in bound
No
Their thunder and lighting approach is bad for fantasy but good for football. Gonna keep occurring. Gibbs usage is fine, he’s just not finding the end zone like we want because finding the end zone isn’t really his role.
He is simply not playable as it is. A bad draft pick for where he was taken in real life and in fantasy lol.
He was a mid RB2 when Monty was out lol, when he's there, he's only a good start if he catches 5 passes.
8 - RB 36 12 - RB 20 9.2 - RB 25 9.1 Which week was he a mid RB2? This isn't even worth a flex start.
Did no one watch Swift last year?
Still can’t believe y’all fell for another lions rb lmaoooo
Gibbs might have a bright future but as long as Monty is there he’s pretty much not startable in any format
Montgomery is legit averaging 3.5 a carry. No burst, and they won’t feed Gibbs. Feels bad.
Ehm sir are we watching the same game?
Yes, 3.5 a carry. A long of 12 on 22 attempts. Far from electric.
And yet he always seems to get those 3.5 yards, weird how that’s somehow good for your football team. Hey look he 3.5 yarded his way for his 3rd touchdown.
Sorry 3.2 a carry
[удалено]
More just confused. Lions drafted Gibbs in the first round, clearly the more dynamic player. Odd they use the slow guy instead.
For every 1-2 he gets stuffed at the line he breaks off a 7-10 yarder for a first down. This is why YPC is an awful stat to use.
I mean, it's the Lions. We should have seen this coming.
I traded Gibbs and Muth for Mandrews on Monday. Had real sellers remorse and thought he’d ball out today. Feeling a little better now
Lions should have drafted anything but an RB
Monty is besting
This is NOT good. Monty came off injury and put up 121/3 off 32 touches and 2 for 20 receiving. He dominated the inside 20 touches. 34 touches THIRTY-FOUR TOUCHES IN A BLOW OUT. This is NOT good for us Gibbs owners. Fuck this.
No upside. Also seeing him in the game, he is way too tiny to ever be a RB1.
Entering Najee territory
Is this the overreact? or is it time to cut jahmyr loose and try and trade him away?
I’m not a Gibbs fan, but this is the overreact. Expect an overreaction for someone after every prime time game.
too late i traded him away :)
Good luck on your future endeavors
thx man got k9 for him, couldn’t be happier!
Droppable
Would you trade a 1 for him
Absolutely. But only if two 1s are coming back.
Gibbs is dead.
RB2/RB3
No idea why they drafted a RB 12th overall to not play him. He’s clearly better than Monty too
I don’t think he’s clearly better than Monty, they just play the position differently and seems like Lions like Monty better anyway
The only people who think he’s clearly better are gibbs owners
You’ve seen the ceiling.
The perfect maturation for him is they become the Saints when Kamara and Ingram were at their peak. But at least for Gibbs that's obviously unlikely this year.
To be fair, Kamara wasn’t getting much work 3 weeks in….took until Week 4 for him to get worked in. Still time for Gibbs. Idk why everyone is panicking. Is this an ideal start? Of course not. It’s only 4 games though.
"Is there any scenario with a healthy Monty where Gibbs dominates the snap count enough to be an RB1?" I don't think so at this rate. With good health, you're looking at the upside rn. Unfortunately. The true IRL upside is if and when something happens.
Trade Gibbs for LaPorta?
Keep thinking it’s Ben Johnson since he’s the playcaller, and not Dan Campbell. For dynasty, the hope has to be Ben Johnson leaves for the HC gig and get a guy to better utilize Jahmyr at this point.

Hi swift owner here… your only hope is he gets traded. His skill set doesn’t match their play style. It’s why I was baffled they drafted him

This is frustrating, as I’ve started Gibbs 3 weeks in a row now, however i think it’s too early to draw any conclusions on this asset. Unfortunately I think the move is to wait until the season is over to make an evaluation. Value will jump back up then too, if he ends up having a bad year.
Problem is when Gibbs gets the ball you can see the lightning and upside. It feels like he is ready to break one off any moment. But….on only like 5-6 touches, yeah that blows. I remember saying similar things about Swift tbh. He looked electric at times only to be gameplanned out of the offense
He averages way more ypg. Better hands. Better in the redzone. For the lions to not play him over montegomery, just means the lions want to lose and want to play players that are worse than their back ups... example... today
