RB Jahmyr Gibbs, DET (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
In that format, I’d lean JT given it’s a non-PPR.

I concur
though JT will be 26 in January, Jah doesn’t turn 23 until March
more likely than not to get a few more seasons out of Gibbs
we’ve probably seen Taylor’s peak
we probably have not seen Gibbs peak
if it’s a win now thing, go for it, the scoring format probably favors the Colts RB

You missed my point but we also agree I think
I'm saying they pay Monty about $6M per year and if they could get away with a 3rd or 4th, they'd do it but they can't
And that's why I think he will be involved a lot in Year 2 of his deal, easily could see 240-250 carries, doesn't catch the ball as often as Gibbs.
I don't think we will ever see the Lions offense not feature 2RB or rely strictly on just 1 guy

Deepak Chona, MD writes an injury report for Fantasy Pros. This is what he wrote about Gibbs today:
RB hamstring injuries average 2-3 weeks. Reports suggest Gibbs intends to return at ~2, which would confirm relatively mild severity. Don’t expect much of a performance dip by the time Week 1 starts, but he does carry ~20% re-injury risk through the first half of the season.

This prediction was pretty darn good

It was, but it was the popular opinion before the season last year. He was being drafted in the 3rd round last year in high stakes draft between rb 10 and 15.

It was not the popular opinion a) when it was posted in here, b) on this board. There was real debate in here about Gibbs. Check out pages 8-16 of this thread.

Hope you’re right everyone, because picking 1.07 in my NFFC rotoworld online championship tonight I went JJ ~> Gibbs.
I’ve done a lot of mocks. That’s the latest I’ve seen him go.
I know, I know. Nobody cares about my FF team.

I traded away Addison for him while he was hurt (WKs 5-6); he scored all 10 of TDs and had his best games post-trade (& this red hot player thread turned into crickets.)

I’m trying to offer the same joy to anyone who drafts him at the turn this year, brother man

If Richardson’s a big enough disaster that means not a lot of scoring opportunities for JT in the red zone. And when they do get there, Richardsons running in some of those.

I'm picking at 1.09 and essentially that's the decision I'm going to be making myself, however, I am leaning Gibbs and hoping somehow Taylor or Barkley are waiting for me at 2.04.
12 team league.
Gibbs has to share a backfield with a fantastic GL runner. He also has to share with LaPorta and ARSB.
JT is going to get as much work as he can. Richardson will have his moments and I don't see him being as much of a threat as Hurts near the GL.
Neither will be there. I have them JT, Gibbs, Barkley and I live in Detroit.

You're probably right. In that case I would go best WR available. I wouldn't be crazy about going RB/RB in 2024 anyways, but if there's some kind of slippage I'd be down to have any combination of those players as the best two players on my team.
I'd have to go WR/WR with picks 3/4 but I think there's definite value in and around that range.
Actually, mocking a RB in round 1 has left me with better teams I feel. Even going RB-RB seems pretty solid this year.
Good luck
All I can say is...thank you.

I snagged him at 1.12 in my long-time league with friends last week and was quite happy about it.Hope you’re right everyone, because picking 1.07 in my NFFC rotoworld online championship tonight I went JJ ~> Gibbs.

Occasionally 1.11, sometimes he’ll make it to 2.02
Never seen him go later except when I got him there. To say I’m extremely happy to land 2x 1st round players at 1.07 would be an understatement. lol

think i'm drafting both Gibbs and Montgomery
Like a handcuff with standalone value.
It's not always advisable or possible depending on your draft position. If you draft 2 RBs early, a WR or 2 might the next best players and then Montgomery may have been drafted. Are you willing to draft Montgomery a little early?
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
I think it’s a shark move. To me they’re both start-able & if one gets hurt, the other presumably gains value.
They’re a much more expensive version of Brown/Moss or Pollard/Spears. Potentially much more productive, too.

I don’t hate it but I don’t love it. If that’s BPA I’ll do it. It’s a BYE-week killer, but there’s upside too.
That said, I had a chance to have Gibbs (2.06) & Monty, and the team 1 pick before me took Monty, so I landed Stevenson instead. I feel better for the diversity, and had them in the same tier. If they’d both made it to me I’d probably have taken Stevenson anyway.
I took Gibbs & Pacheco early (1.14, 2.01) but missed out on both Monty and Stevenson. I got Ford as my 3rd RB expecting him to be serviceable early; missed out on Chubb who went a little later. To get Monty, I would've had to sacrifice a good WR.

Gibbs at 10, Montgomery if he slides to 50

Is Craig Reynolds the clear backup to Gibbs & Monty or does the rookie Vaki have an honest chance to leapfrog him?

I don’t know.
Probably Reynolds for the foreseeable future. Between 6 games at Utah last year when he was a 2-way player + the preseason, Sione has less than 150 offensive snaps.
It’s comical how little experience he has. But they like him a lot. He’s gonna suit up every week because he’s a core special teamer. Not sure he’s ready for anything more than a limited package tailored to his current abilities.
I also don’t think either him or Reynolds will see an uptick if only one RB is hurt. We have 5 games of data from last year - if 1A is out, 1B becomes a bell cow, and vice versa. They're only going to lean heavily on Jah & Monty.

I’m a lions homer and I took Henry 1.11 and garret wilson 2.02 in a non-PPR redraft. Gibbs went a few picks later
I really wanted him this year, but in that format I just couldn’t pull the trigger
Chaka

I had the option between them in my PPR draft and I opted for Jahmyr. I don't love the split time but I love, love, love the offensive line particularly when compared to Henry's.
Gibbs also went before Henry in the FBG Home League. Gibbs RB5 @ 1.10, Saquon (me) RB6 @ 2.01, Etienne RB7 @ 2.04, Jacobs RB8 @ 2.06, Henry RB9 2.07
It's been a great past few Gibbs days for me.
I once had him ranked as high as 9 but for past few week's he's settled in at 11. One of my biggest frustrations of drafting season is I could not land him in round two. Was about 40 drafts into the season and not one single time was he available to me in round two which again was particularly frustrating to me because I'd maybe picking like 4 and he'd last till 2.7, then I'd be picking 10 and he'd go 2.2. That kind of thing.
Then a few days ago out of the 8 spot he made it to me at 2.5. I was super happy but then it got better when last night he made it to me at 2.8. Which is close to as late as he's gone in this entire contest which has about 15,000 teams.
The recurring hammy issues are not to be taken lightly, but not sure I've been more pleased with anything this entire drafting season.

seems....optimistic
15 carries and 4 catches is what should be expected.

Outsnapped Montgomery 53 to 30 yesterday. I'm sure that had at least a little something to do with not playing with a lead yesterday. But encouraging nonetheless
