According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs is expected to receive the majority of the work against the Falcons. While the team plans to use multiple backs to avoid wearing out Gibbs, he is still projected to have a significant workload. With heavy involvement in the passing game, Gibbs has the potential to be a strong RB1 even with 12-15 carries.
