Should You Start or Sit Gibbs in Week 15?
Nothing to see here, just another elite performance from Jahmyr Gibbs. It’s gotten to the point where his spike games no longer carry a shock factor: it seems reasonable when he rips off a huge performance, and that’s when you know a superstar has graduated into the super-duper star tier.
On Thursday night, he posted his fourth game this season with 36+ PPR points, matching the rest of the position across the league in such performances.
That’s crazy.
He just gave us three games with three TDs in a month stretch and has hauled in at least three passes in seven straight, fueling speculation of him being the 1.01 in August. On Thursday night, the Lions made their expectations no secret: a 19-yard swing pass that was ruled a rush was followed up with a 26-yard reception on the next play.
The Rams are as solid as it gets on the defensive end, but how do you slow Gibbs? He’s too versatile and too dangerous. I’d prefer a better matchup, but my downgrade for him is so minimal that it’s hard to notice in the rankings.
The Lions are riding Gibbs the same way you are.
