The number of rushes handled by Detroit RB Jahmyr Gibbs, a career high – as were his 34 touches against the Saints. Gibbs' fantasy owners doubtless love it on a day when he had 186 yards and two TDs from scrimmage as he enters his first season as the clearcut bell cow in Motown. But that could be an awfully tough workload to maintain if the Lions are going to rely that heavily on a player who averaged 17.5 touches – half the load he carried Sunday – while in a timeshare over his first three season as a pro.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Gibbs' 34-touch debut as bell cow shows upside but sustainability concerns remain.

Gibbs handled 29 rushes and 34 total touches (career highs) against the Saints in his first season as Detroit's clearcut bell cow, accumulating 186 yards and two TDs from scrimmage. However, the source notes this workload could be difficult to maintain given he averaged only 17.5 touches per game during his first three seasons in a timeshare, raising questions about sustainability of the heavy volume.
