Should You Start or Sit Gibbs in Week 13?
Well, congratulations on having a red hot fantasy team that you feel better about today than you did a month ago.
Jahmyr Gibbs was playing on a different speed than the Giants last week (14.6 yards per carry on 15 attempts) and ran in multiple scores for the third time in five weeks.
Add in an 87.3% catch rate for the season and being the apple of Dan Campbell’s eye in terms of design: it’s easy to see a path in which Gibbs carries you to the promised land.
This matchup is a little more prohibitive than the one he exploited last week and, at a minimum, the Packers are familiar with the personnel in Detroit. That doesn’t mean they can stop him (he caught all 10 of his passes against them in Week 1, a dominating Green Bay victory that they were thrilled with how they defended him), but it does give you the excuse to maybe avoid the Thanksgiving DFS chalk.
Gibbs’ name is going to be on the short list for 1.01 options in August and he currently has more support.
