The big thing is Jahmyr Gibbs is the overall RB1.
That's the question right now in terms of fantasy.
2024, he had three games without Montgomery completely, and he averaged 32 points per game in PPR leagues.
So that's why it's like the obvious like, oh yeah, he's probably gonna be the overall RB1 if Montgomery's gone.
In the second half of the year when Dan Campbell took over the play calling, his touches went way up, Jahmyr Gibbs.
It was at 57%, Montgomery like at 43.
Campbell started calling plays, now it's a 69 to 31 split between those two.
His targets nearly doubled.
His points per game went from 18, which is really good, to 24.6 in PPR leagues.
Like that would be RB1 overall level.
So that was with Montgomery still.
Just a bump in touches.
Totally agree.
I think it's a competition between him and Bijan Robinson.
Robinson also probably is, you know, gonna have Tyler Allgeier walk out the door here in the next week.
Both these guys drafted same year.
They're getting a similar bump here.
Lions probably have a better offensive ecosystem.
You could break ties in favor that way
