Headliner Take

Jahmyr Gibbs enters the 2025 fantasy football season as one of the most productive and efficient running backs in the NFL. After a 2024 campaign where he tallied 1,412 rushing yards (5.6 yards per carry), 16 rushing touchdowns, and added 52 receptions for 517 yards and 4 receiving scores, Gibbs proved to be a consistent dual-threat weapon in a high-powered Lions offense. His combination of explosive playmaking, red-zone usage, and reliable ball security (just 1 fumble on 250 carries) positions him as a top-tier fantasy option. With Detroit’s offensive core intact and no major competition beyond David Montgomery, Gibbs remains a high-floor, high-upside asset for 2025 fantasy leagues.
