Jahmyr Gibbs Should Be Ready For Week 1
4 months agoDetroit Lions Pro Bowl running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) didn't suffer a significant hamstring injury in training camp practice on Monday night, according to sources, but the Lions will be very cautious with his rest and rehab to make sure he's 100 percent healthy. Bleacher Report's Jordan Schultz says that his understanding is that Gibbs should be ready for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers that already took Gibbs as their RB1 can breathe a sign of relief, although it doesn't mean that David Montgomery won't handle most of the backfield touches early on as the Lions ease Gibbs back into the fold. Gibbs finished as the RB10 in half-PPR scoring in his rookie campaign in 2023 and currently has an ADP of 13.1 in Yahoo leagues, meaning fantasy managers should target him late in the first round/early in the second round, as long as it looks like he'll be active for Week 1.
