He’s not a vulture, he’s the main guy.
Nah, Monty will get the majority of those. I see Gibbs finishing with like 10 touches tops tonight.

This. Sadly.

I think we should nickname him Fetch.
Because Fetch isn’t going to happen. Stop trying to make it happen.

Just an afterthought at this point. Have a feeling they just have no idea what to do with him.

Yeah it's weird, seems a little fast for his own good right now. Might need some patience and get the right feel for the game.

Maybe but they are also playing great football and probably don't feel a need to force much with him. It will develop over the year.

Total bust. Probably droppable in shallow leagues. No one will do that obviously but man… he’s just a JAG.
Four games in I think we can annoying him Bust of the Year.

Absolutely #1 non-injury bust of the year. Only reason he's not droppable is he's a top handcuff.
I'll stop whining about him. Gotta figure what to do at RB as I'm about to be 1-3.

LOL he's not needed. You're being reactionary and not analytical.
He may be JAG but we don't have near enough information to know if he is or isn't. Fantasy players completely fell in love with his #12 draft position and completely ignored the contract they gave Monty.
People also dismissed Monty's talent. He's a much better RB than petulant fantasy managers ever gave him credit for.
This is what happens when you try to wish your dreams into existence.

If it plays out in the 2nd half as it has been in the first Monty will be resting by the end of the third.
In that scenario it will be interesting to see if they rest Gibbs too (IN BEFORE "HE'S ALREADY WELL RESTED!!!").

Yeah I mean at least if you drafted chubb you don’t look like an idiot. I am 2-1 in my $2K league with the entire Miami offense. So should be okay. But I mean this dude can’t even cut without falling in the RZ. I think he ran the wrong route there too but would have to look at the replay.
If he's not needed, then why spend the #12 pick on him? After they signed Montgomery, no less.
I agree some people overlooked Montgomery, but he isn't great, nor is he doing particularly great this year (or even this game). He's solid, but someone who was so highly touted as Gibbs shouldn't have this much trouble taking a few more touches from him.
Right now he's clearly not where they expected him to be. Still extremely early, hopefully he gets a lot better, but let's not act like this is exactly how they thought it would go.

He may stiink, can’t win 1 on 1

Exactly. They're the idiots that took him that high, not us. You take a guy that high you expect to get something out of him this year.

Very well put.

As far as this year goes, he is clearly a complete and total bust in redraft.

His “similar players” results on pro football reference: Chuba Hubbard, Ben Tate, DJ Dallas
More like a consistent 8pt flex

You said it
Watched the whole game start to end and it doesn't appear like Gibbs is any part of the game plan
Tonight he was very limited in snaps, rarely did I see him in there on consecutive plays
Monty has almost 30 carries tonight, clearly they are not concerned about managing that guy's workload
Gibbs should be on the bench at this point, 3rd and 4th Rd Draft stubbornness only thing keeping him out there
I did that 2 years ago maybe, but we had such a long stretch at one point where every Thurs game was a dud I started sitting all Thurs guys unless it was an absolute no brainer.

I had visions of Gibbs having a Kamara like rookie season and he won’t even have a De’Von Achane rookie season. Sign Monty, draft Gibbs 12th oversll and trade Swift for a 4th? Goofy. At least they are winning.

Because the Lions FO clearly takes the long view.
They did draft a guy with a busted wheel at #9 last year after all.
David Montgomery

Just a bad time to be moving him....probably a wise hold in the event of a DMont injury
Maybe a jaylen warren or if really lucky miles sanders type.

Dude should pick up lacrosse. Could be a lawyer or something and play pro lax on the side. With his size and speed he’d be good at it.

How many dynasty owners would trade Gibbs for Montgomery straight up right now?

I have Montgomery and no way I’m making that deal. Monty is still only 26 years old.
