AutoDraft Pro AI

In Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, 23-year-old running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 12 times for 39 yards and was a significant bright spot for the Detroit Lions' struggling offense. He excelled as a receiver, hauling in five receptions on eight targets for a career-high 107 yards, marking his first time topping 100 receiving yards. Gibbs accounted for five of Detroit's 10 longest gains from scrimmage, including long receptions of 42, 33, and 17 yards. While less efficient on the ground in this game, he has topped 100 rushing yards in two of his last four matchups. Gibbs, who signed a four-year, $17.85 million contract in July 2023, remains a top fantasy back due to his versatile impact.
