Does the Lions rookie running back find the end zone this week?
Through two NFL games, Gibbs has 14 carries and nine catches (on 11 targets), but one has to think he gets an expanded role with David Montgomery banged up and St. Brown is also dealing with an injury.
If both players miss Week 3, Gibbs should be the No. 1 option in the Lions offense.
I think there’s a good chance that St. Brown can suit up, but I like Gibbs regardless since he’s coming into this game healthy.
