Jaymhr Gibbs states he is being used outside “way more than I was the last two years.”
John Morton is the new OC for the Lions after the departure of Ben Johnson. Not much will change for the offense that scored the most points last season, but one new wrinkle is getting running back Jahmyr Gibbs split out wide more. “ That’s good, that’s going to be fun. I’ve been waiting on that,” stated Gibbs
Gibbs caught 104 passes in his first two seasons in the league and quickly became one of the best fantasy football producers in the game. If he gets more involvement in the passing game and has more mismatches out wide, he could break fantasy football. He will be a cheat code. While the Lions still have pass-catching options in Amon Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta, Morton seems to have one vision, and that is to make Gibbs the focal point of the Lions’ offence.
Scoring as the RB1 last season, Gibbs still has room to grow, and with the news of the RB being more involved in the passing game, it makes you think 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving is in the range of outcomes for the explosive Gibbs.
