Should You Start or Sit Jahmyr Gibbs in Week 17?
Dan Campbell made it clear that the team trusts Gibbs to handle the David Montgomery role last week, even after a few failures on the doorstep. When all was said and done, Detroit’s bell cow was trusted with 27 touches. I think we might see more of that over the next 1.5 months as this team looks to get to New Orleans.
Gibbs now has six top-10 finishes this season and will be a first-round pick next season. He could prove to be the piece that is most common on championship rosters this season – make sure to check back this offseason, as we will work hard to position you to get “the next” version of him.
