Should You Start or Sit Jahmyr Gibbs in Week 14?
Gibbs lost his first fumble of the season and set season-lows in both carries (nine) and touches (11) on Thanksgiving against the Bears. But because he’s Jahmyr Gibbs, he still cleared 100 total yards and didn’t ruin your holiday as much as that profile would suggest.
Gibbs’ efficiency is nothing short of amazing and splash plays have become the expectation, not the exception. He’s averaging 6.0 yards per carry over his past three games (246 yards on 41 attempts) and has a 15+ yard run in 11 straight games — the only player to have a streak longer than that before the age of 25 was someone named Adrian Peterson, as he did so bridging the 2008 and 2009 seasons).
Factoring into that streak was a 15-yard score in Lambeau back in Week 9. While the Packers run defense has looked good in consecutive weeks (Christian McCaffrey and De’Von Achane totaled just 45 rushing yards on 18 carries against them), I’m attributing much of that success to a positive game script that I find unlikely to be in effect on Thursday night.
Kick your feet up on Thursday night and love having Gibbs on your roster as opposed to having to sweat opposing him.
