News: 3 days agoLions head coach Dan Campbell suggested Wednesday that he's optimistic about Gibbs' health after the running back suffered a hamstring injury in Monday's practice, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports. "I think we're gonna be fine here," Campbell told 97-1 The Ticket Detroit. "So, I think we'll be good."

Spin: Campbell didn't get into details or provide a timeline for Gibbs, merely hinting at general optimism. Gibbs suffered the injury 27 days before Detroit's season opener Sept. 8 at the Rams, and while he's unlikely to practice for at least the next week or two, he seemingly has a chance to be ready for the rematch of last year's wild-card playoff game.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Gibbs dispelled any draft-day doubts by finishing as fantasy's RB10 in his rookie season. The 12th overall pick in 2023 showcased his explosiveness in a Lions offense that had the second-most RB rushing yards and attempts. Gibbs had six weeks inside the top three at RB, finished second in yards before first contact and was fifth in fantasy points per touch. Despite being in a committee with David Montgomery, Gibbs was also 12th in scrimmage yards, ninth in total touchdowns and top 10 in targets and receptions. All this while ranking 25th among RBs in touches. He won't have the workload of a feature back, but at just 22 years old, Gibbs is already a superstar and should be viewed as a clear top-10 RB.
