    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Gets "bell cow" label from Campbell

    Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that Jahmyr Gibbs will be the team's "bellcow" in 2026, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports."We're gonna hang our hat on him," said Campbell, whose assumption of play-calling duties last November coincided with a decline in David Montgomery's role. Gibbs' rushing efficiency also declined, though not until the final month, and he averaged 5.3 catches per game with Campbell calling plays. The Lions then traded Montgomery to Houston this offseason, with Isiah Pacheco coming in as a much cheaper depth option on a one-year, $1.8 million contract. Campbell is expected to call plays again, despite hiring an offensive coordinator (Drew Petzing) with plenty of experience in that regard.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Detroit picks up fifth-year option

    The Detroit Lions exercised Jahmyr Gibbs' fifth-year option for the 2027 season Tuesday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.It was a no-brainer move for the Lions, and Gibbs will collect a fully guaranteed $14.293 million salary in 2027. That still puts him well below the $20.6 million per year Saquon Barkley is earning as the league's highest-paid running back. As long as Gibbs keeps producing like he has since coming into the NFL as the 12th overall pick in 2023, he should become the league's top-earning back soon enough. He's posted back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons and has totaled 3,580 yards and 39 touchdowns on the ground across three campaigns. In addition to his dynamic ability as a runner, Gibbs has secured 181 of 228 targets for 1,449 yards and 10 scores in 49 regular-season contests. With David Montgomery now out of the picture, replaced by Isiah Pacheco, the ceiling is even higher for Gibbs headed into 2026.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Backfield duo broken up

    Jahmyr Gibbs is now the sole clear leader of Detroit's backfield, with the team having traded David Montgomery to the Texans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Gibbs has significantly outpaced Montgomery in back-to-back seasons despite the tandem sharing work out of the Detroit Lions backfield, but the 28-year-old veteran's departure ushers in a new era for the ground game in Detroit. Since joining the team as a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Gibbs has consistently operated in a split backfield and manufactured dominant production via explosiveness, efficiency and pass-catching chops rather than overwhelming volume. It's worth noting that in 2025, Montgomery averaged five fewer touches per game while Gibbs managed to total 1,839 yards from scrimmage and 18 total touchdowns while handling a career-high 320 touches and suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Nonetheless, it would be surprising if the Lions don't bring in another complementary backfield option in free agency or April's draft.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Over 100 scrimmage yards in finale

    Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 19 times for 80 yards and brought in three of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Detroit Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday.Gibbs led the Lions in rushing yards while also providing his fifth touchdown catch of the season on a 15-yard grab with under five minutes remaining in the first half. The third-year pro bounced back nicely on the ground after several weeks of subpar production, recording his highest rushing yardage tally since his memorable 219-yard effort against the Giants in Week 12. Gibbs put together another stellar campaign in a non-playoff season for Detroit, rushing for 1,223 yards and 13 touchdowns at 5.1 yards per carry while adding a career-best 77-616-5 receiving line across 17 games.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Quiet as playoff hopes extinguished

    Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 17 times for 41 yards, caught two of three targets for 23 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.Gibbs continued to struggle on the ground with his fourth consecutive game of 43 or fewer rushing yards, and he lost a fumble for the first time this season in the second quarter. The Detroit Lions' untimely three-game losing streak has knocked them out of playoff contention heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale at Chicago, but Gibbs has yet to endure a multi-game touchdown drought in 2025. Week 18 will mark Gibbs' final opportunity to add to his NFL-record 48 scrimmage touchdowns through three regular seasons.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Struggles continue as rusher

    Jahmyr Gibbs rushed the ball seven times for two yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers. He added 10 receptions on 13 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown.The Detroit Lions ran a very pass-heavy offense, with Jared Goff attempting 54 passes compared to only 12 rushing attempts for the team. That naturally limited Gibbs' production on the ground, though he still underwhelmed as a rusher and has now been held below 50 rushing yards in four of his last six games. Gibbs still managed to have a productive fantasy performance thanks to his work as a receiver, as he recorded double-digit catches for the third time this season while also reaching the end zone on a four-yard reception late in the fourth quarter.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Muted in loss to Rams

    Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 13 times for 38 yards while catching four of seven targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.Gibbs was shut down by the Rams' ninth-ranked rush defense Sunday, resulting in a rare dud from the fantasy stud. Backfield mate David Montgomery (7-32-1) cashed in Detroit's lone rushing score in the loss, adding salt to the wounds of Gibbs' fantasy managers in Week 15. It was the third time this season that Gibbs was held to under 60 yards from scrimmage with no trips to the end zone. That said, he has still generated over 1,500 combined yards and 16 total touchdowns across 14 appearances in 2025. Look for Gibbs to get back on track in a home matchup against the Steelers next Sunday.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Three rush TDs in big win

    Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 12 times for 43 yards and three touchdowns while bringing in all seven targets for 77 yards in the Detroit Lions' 44-30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.Gibbs accrued more production through the air, finishing with his second-highest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season. However, the 2023 first-round pick found the end zone a season-high number of times on the ground by recording rush TDs of one, 10 and 13 yards, with the latter two scores coming during the second half of the final quarter. Gibbs also contributed a trio of double-digit gains on his seven catches, and he'll naturally continue to profile as an elite option for a Week 15 road showdown against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Can't break out against Pack

    Jahmyr Gibbs carried the ball 20 times for 68 yards and caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.After three straight games with more than 140 scrimmage yards, Gibbs' Thanksgiving output was something of a disappointment. He also watched his backfield partner, David Montgomery, punch in a three-yard score in the second quarter, after Gibbs had delivered Detroit's last four rushing scores. Gibbs did pass the 1,000-yard milestone on the ground for the second straight season, and through 12 games he's amassed 1,019 rushing yards and 397 receiving yards with 13 total TDs. He stands a good chance of producing another ceiling game in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Three TDs including OT winner

    Jahmyr Gibbs carried the ball 15 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns while catching 11 of 12 targets for 45 yards and a third TD in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.The 11 catches and 12 targets were career highs for Gibbs as were the 264 scrimmage yards, while the 219 rushing yards were the most ever in a game by a Detroit player not named Barry Sanders. Gibbs saved his best for last as well -- after catching a three-yard TD pass in the second quarter and busting loose for a 49-yard score on the ground in the fourth, the third-year back dashed for a 69-yard rushing touchdown on the first play of OT. Through 11 games this season, Gibbs already has 10 rushing TDs -- his third straight season in double digits -- with 951 rushing yards on 6.1 yards per carry, while adding a 48-379-3 receiving line on 55 targets. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving tilt against the Packers.
