Best Jahmyr Gibbs Pick vs. Chiefs in NFL DFS

Here is the best Jahmyr Gibbs pick for Sunday’s NFL game vs. the Chiefs.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs — 69.5 Rushing Yards

  • The former Alabama standout has rushed for 325 yards this season, over 20 yards behind last year’s pace of 348 yards through five games.
  • In each of his first two seasons, Gibbs didn’t rack up a 100-yard rushing game in the opening five games. In the sixth and seventh games, he racked up 152 and 116 yards on the ground.
  • According to PFF, the Chiefs’ defense ranks 26th in run defense grade. 
  • However, only two running backs have rushed for at least 70 yards against Kansas City: Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley ran for 88 yards in Week 2 and Baltimore’s Justice Hill piled up 76 in Week 4, but 71 yards came on one carry.
  • Gibbs eventually blew up last season, but his slow starts are a thing. In 2024, Gibbs was third-best graded running back at PFF and has fallen to 23rd through five games this season.
  • Sonic and Knuckles — a.k.a., Gibbs and David Montgomery — are one of the few two-headed monster backfields that delivers, which means split carries. 
  • Montgomery owns Detroit's lone 100-yard rushing game this season, which he delivered in a 38-30 victory at Baltimore. He rushed for 151 yards, but broke off a 72-yard run.
