Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) expected to lead Lions backfield

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) is "gonna be a go" for Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, per head coach Dan Campbell.

What It Means:

Gibbs is set to return from a two-game absence and lead the Lions' backfield while David Montgomery (ribs) is out. "I'd like to say we’re going to be careful with him, but the reality is we need him," Campbell said about the first-round rookie. Gibbs ran 17 times for 80 yards and was targeted twice in Montgomery's only other absence this season. He doesn't have more than 8 carries or 42 rushing yards in any other contest. Craig Reynolds (hamstring/toe) will mix in as well behind Gibbs.

Gibbs is the RB9 in numberFire's Week 7 PPR rankings and our models project him for 13.0 FanDuel points, with 14.7 carries, 59.6 rushing yards, 3.4 receptions, and 24.7 receiving yards. The Ravens are 15th in FanDuel points allowed per game to running backs and their run defense is ranked 10th in our opponent-adjusted NEP model.
