The Detroit Lions will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Jahmyr Gibbs.
Is Jahmyr Gibbs Playing in Week 11?
Gibbs is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Lions’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Gibbs in Week 11?
And this is exactly why we never panic about the elite of the elite after a single poor showing.
Over the course of a season that runs 4+ months, players are going to have ups and downs; it’s the nature of the game. You’re not drafting star players under the pretense that they will be perfect, but with the idea that, more often than not, they’re going to give you a leg up on the competition, and I’d say Jahmyr Gibbs checked that box over the weekend with his third top-3 finish at the position this season.
He had his touchdown reception on the first drive, a design that had him running out of the backfield and demanding that the poor linebacker gets help. The Commanders opted not to do that, and he scored without much issue.
The duality is back for Gibbs (3+ catches in three straight games after totaling five receptions in a three-game run), and with Dan Campbell assuming control of this offense, I think it sticks.
Detroit has had its bye, still has games against the Giants/Cowboys on the schedule, and plays their final fantasy game with weather concerns this week: could Gibbs be the highest-scoring flex player the rest of the way?
