Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has become a franchise cornerstone and household name since being selected with a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
While Gibbs has emerged as one of the best running backs in the league, is he paid like one? Let’s examine his contract, salary, and net worth.

Since entering the NFL, Gibbs has earned $$14,668,006 from his Lions contracts alone.
Gibbs’ net worth is estimated to be around $8 million. Most of this value is attributed to his rookie contract with the Lions. In addition to his NFL earnings, Gibbs has endorsement deals with brands such as Caktus AI and Leaf Trading Cards.
Before transitioning to the NFL, he also collaborated with brands like Nike, Ashley Furniture, and Party City, boasting a NIL valuation of $741,000 (as per On3).
Gibbs’ Fantasy Outlook for Week 7
Here’s what PFSN’s Kyle Soppe wrote about Gibbs’ fantasy outlook for the Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Jahmyr Gibbs
Am I annoyed that Jahmyr Gibbs doesn’t have more than two targets in three straight games? I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t, but that really is a first-world problem.
Gibbs has seized control of this backfield, carrying the ball at least 15 times in three of his past four games. While the target count has been down recently, his 92% catch rate helps mitigate those worries, and the elite efficiency is what gives him a realistic path to being the top-scoring running back in any given week.
Tampa Bay owns a top-10 run defense, but its strengths are up the middle, and Gibbs can make those field-flipping plays when ushered outside. I downgrade most backs when facing the Bucs; Gibbs isn’t “most backs.”
