Jahmyr Gibbs had a limited role in the Lions' win over the Packers, with David Montgomery shouldering the majority of the workload. While Gibbs was efficient with his touches, fantasy owners who drafted him early may be disappointed with his usage. However, there is potential for his role to grow as the season progresses.
