Like those chances. Think I’d take yours over mine. Down 16 he has Laporta, I have Gibbs and Bates.
Good luck my friend.

I believe you’re the champ, champ!
You prob didn’t even need that 30 yard TD run, I sure as **** did. Thought it was over for me when Laporta scored. And then they kept pulling him in the RZ
Then he did it for me and many others.
3 + 3 (100 yard bonus) + 6
He paid owners off big when it counted most!

Just noticed this now, guy didn’t have a single game under 10 points all season in PPR. Consistent beast that turned out to be a steal at 14 (where I took him). Prob top 5 pick next season.
Yes sir! Congratulations! The td run did it for me too lol. I was down by like 2.5 or so before that.I believe you’re the champ, champ!

Sucks for them. He and London were key in my late year and finally championship wins in many leagues. I can see if some who drafted Gibbs early who expected him to carry the rock most of the time fairly upset in some of the earlier weeks but that's their fault. I know he and Monty would share and expected that. It was only a surprise gift when Monty went down late in season. Ditto with London with Penix taking over.About a month into this season this thread was full of people bemoaning their selection of him.Who didn’t like Gibbs?Thank you so much for validating my Gibbs and Jamo pics when all the “experts” said other wise
But Monty has earned a sizeable role himself. I doubt we'll see more than a 60/40 split. Also, don't want Gibbs to wear down.
Started my first draft of the 2025 season this morning and Gibbs went 1.1, followed by Barkley so nothing you are saying is crazy.
Love Gibbs, would be clear cut as easy of a 1.1 choice as we've seen in years if Monty was not in the picture but he's not. Plus, and it's possible it might help Gibbs, we got the unknown of how the likely new OC will utilize them and like I said it's possible this help Gibbs,but when I'm talking 1.1 or top RB I don't want to rely so much on "maybe".
Bijan is my RB1.

I know they decided not to ban it, but coaches should not be allowed involved in the tush push.

Gibbs has now done it 2 years in a row and we are not even counting that 46 point week 18 game.
Gibbs 19.8
Bijan 19.4
Last year I was skeptical of taking Gibbs at the 1/2 turn with Monty there but Monty's injury opened the door for a monster finish.
Now that Gibbs ADP has shot up into the top 6 it will be interesting to see with Monty back if he can do it again.
Remember this was a guy many called a bust after week 5 in 2023.

I like Gibbs but I see regression this year in the Lions offense. Between losing their OC, their Pro-Bowl center and Montgomery back to share carries, it's hard to maintain their dominance. Gibbs should have a good year but I don't see a Top 5 RB finish this year. I think he'll be in the RB 9-12 range which makes him a minor bust pick this year.
Ray Barboni
Footballguy
I think your points, and the tougher schedule may actually even things out for Gibbs this year. Playing from behind, and in more competitive games will keep him on the field over Monty.
Chaka

IMO Monty's presence has little impact on Gibbs's production. He played 14 games in '23 & '24 was already ceding touches to Gibbs in '24 before he got hurt. I think it's fair to project another 14 games from Monty in '25, who hasn't played a full season since his rookie year and never played 17.
The biggest threat to Gibbs is a regression from his insane efficiency jump from '23 to '24. His yards per carry increased from 5.2 to 5.6 and his yards per reception went from 6.1 as a rookie to a whooping 9.9 in year two.
The TD numbers were also kinda crazy. Not many players have multiple 20 TD seasons in a row.
Gibbs will probably be a bit overdrafted, but not because of Monty.
But he's still electric AF and is in a small group of RBs with #1 overall upside.

As a Gibbs owner, I like how regressing from the "insane jump in efficiency" would bring him back down to the 30th best yards per carry in a qualifying season by any active RB. Half joking, as I could easily see him regressing farther than that. And the TD's I think is the bigger regression concern. 20 takes a LOT of luck with Montgomery still in the mix.
Willie Mays Hayes
Footballguy
I think the TD regression is a good callout. There isn’t much to criticize about Gibbs game but he clearly didn’t look as good as Montgomery with his red zone carries last year. Gibbs is a Ferrari so it’s asking too much of him to become a tank.
Ilov80s

I think Gibbs is pretty darn effective near the GL. I agree if you are looking for 1 or 2 tough yards up the middle, Monty is better. However, Gibbs is very effective in short yardage just using his quickness and wiggle.
Last year Monty got 49 RZ carries for 161 yards and 12 TDs. Gibbs got 50 for 158 yards and 12 TDs.
As a receiver, Gibbs was targeted 11 times for 40 yards and 3 TDs in the red zone. Monty only had 3 for 12 yards and 0 TDs.
Completely disagree with this and no offense but I think you’re only saying this because of the size difference between the two. Because I saw Gibbs be extremely effective at the GL last year and even demonstrated power well beyond what you’d normally associate with a 200 pound back in addition to his lightning quickness.

Footballguy
Yeah if I remember right, it seemed like he did pretty well just making a move through the line, and also found success making the 12-yard-long 1-yard run to the pylon.
Chaka
Footballguy
Agreed. I saw a comment above about his short yardage/goal line efficiency being poor relative to Monty.
I meant to look into that because that didn't track compared to my, albeit limited, eyeball test.
Ilov80s

Monty had 17 carries inside the 5 yard line, he scored 8 TDs.
Gibbs had 15 of those carries and also scored 8 TDs.
Just going to say I think he is getting drafted at his healthy Montgomery ceiling. I don't hate it but it's not usually the way I like to go.
Latest ADP I'm seeing is he's going as player 4 or 5.
Now if Monty got hurt it's a different subject. I recall last year he was usually getting drafted in RB 4-6 tier with Barkley and Taylor as his comp. I know some people here, and some people I talk to offline, thought Gibbs was getting drafted a bit to high and my take on it, which I posted last year, was that he was worth it because I thought he gave you at least low end RB1 production but if Monty went down he would be someone I'd view as the most valuable player in fantasy, the 1.1. In National type contests especially that made him worth it and that's how it worked out.
His TD's made him better then a low end RB1 last year but I feel the same way today as I did this time last year, he just cost more and can't say I'm jacked up about it. I think without an injury to Monty he's going to have a tough time living up to his ADP. Not impossible but IMO he's going to need to pick up the receiving game a decent amount to make up for likely TD regression.
Just think top half of round one is a bit rich and my thinking is it's only going to work out if Monty goes down again, at which point like I keep saying he's worth more then anyone in fantasy to me in that scenario. I'll draft him some just in case that happens, but it's the first year he's been in the league I'm not enthused about hitting that button to draft him.

Speaking of TD regression, 2024 was the first time in the last 15 years where 11 RB's reached double digit rushing TD's. From 2010-2023, the average was 6.4, and no year was over 8. We speak alot like 10 rushing TD's isn't really that hard, but not as many reach it as you'd think.

I think a lot of that has to do with the atypical health that so many of the best backs in the league maintained in 2024. We saw far less serious injuries to lead RBs than we typically do.
