Lions rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs showed explosive playmaking ability in the team's opener against the Chiefs, despite working behind RB David Montgomery. Gibbs had seven carries and two targets, showcasing his speed and acceleration with a 17-yard run and an 18-yard catch. While Montgomery remains the primary back, Gibbs' role is expected to grow as the season progresses. Fantasy owners should consider him a lower-end RB2 option in the short term, with potential to be a difference-maker later in the season. Those interested in acquiring Gibbs should consider making a trade offer to his owner if they are disappointed with his performance in the first game.
