Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) should be good to go for the Week 1 regular-season opener this Sunday, Sept. 8, against the Los Angeles Rams. Gibbs injured his hamstring in early August and missed most of training camp, but the 22-year-old second-year back should be available to play in the season opener this weekend. He was able to get back on the practice field last week. There's a chance Gibbs will be listed on the team's official injury report once they start practicing on Wednesday, but fantasy managers won't need to be worried that he won't suit up against the Rams. However, with all that said, there's a chance the Lions lean a bit more on David Montgomery in their backfield in Week 1, giving Gibbs a bit more bust potential as an RB1 to kick things off in 2024.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) returned to training camp practice on Sunday. Gibbs returned to the practice field for the Lions after missing two weeks with a strained hamstring. Now that the 22-year-old is back, he'll have just under two weeks to prepare for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 8 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Lions haven't seemed too worried that Gibbs won't be ready for the season opener, but there's still a chance he'll cede more touches to backfield mate David Montgomery to open the year. Now that Gibbs is back at practice, fantasy managers should feel more comfortable taking him as a midrange RB1 in drafts, either late in the first round or early in the second, especially in point-per-reception formats. Gibbs was the 12th overall pick in 2023 and had 945 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns and added 316 receiving yards and another score in 15 regular-season games in his rookie campaign.
The Detroit Lions are still planning to have running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener. "Gibbs, our plan is get him going next week. He's trending the right way and we're hoping day after the Pittsburgh game, I think we're going to get a lot of guys back," head coach Dan Campbell said. The Lions play their preseason finale this Saturday against the Steelers, so hopefully Gibbs will return to practice this Sunday and be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season in the first week of September. The 22-year-old second-year back has missed more than a week of training camp due to a hamstring injury, and while some fantasy managers may have moved him down their draft boards as an RB1 because of the injury, he may not end up missing any time at all to begin the year. Gibbs finished as the RB10 in half-PPR leagues in his rookie season and is currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 6 RB.
Detroit 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.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell stated, "I think we're gonna be fine here," regarding the injury to running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) during a radio interview on Wednesday morning. There wasn't a timeline given on Gibbs' return to training camp, but Campbell's statements suggest it's not a long-term injury. The second-year running back is viewed as a late-first or second-round pick in fantasy football this year. His stock will slip if he hasn't returned to practice as the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams approaches. David Montgomery will take the bulk of the touches in Detroit if Gibbs were to miss any game action.
