Detroit has the best offensive trio in the NFL
Gibbs rushed 11 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for a 54-yard catch in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Gibbs' highlight of the day was a 54-yard catch-and-run that nearly went for a touchdown. He blazed up the right sideline and cut it back into the middle of the field, only to be taken down by his shoestrings, preventing an incredible touchdown. Per NFL's Next Gen Stats, Gibbs hit 21.8 MPH on the play, giving him two of the six-fastest plays of the season. Amon-Ra St. Brown would go on to score a few plays later. Gibbs already had a touchdown of his own, but fantasy managers may want to look away from David Montgeromy's box score as the bruising back punched in two short touchdowns of his own. With a great matchup versus the Colts on tap, both Gibbs and Montgomery will have RB1 projections for Week 12.
Montgomery punched in touchdowns from six and two yards out but also ceded a goal line score to Jahmyr Gibbs. With the Lions throttling the Jags to the tune of 52 points, there were more than enough touchdowns to go around. Montgomery ultimately out-touched Gibbs 18-12, though both backs got home from a fantasy perspective. Week 12 is a similar setup for the Lions as they are set to square off with an atrocious Indianapolis run defense. Montgomery will push for an RB1 ranking alongside Gibbs next week.
