Fantasy Alert: Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs Trending Toward Playing Week 1 Amid Injury, per HC

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is dealing with a hamstring injury, though he is expected to return to practice next week and it doesn't sound as though he'll miss any time to start the 2024 regular season.

"He's trending the right way," head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Tuesday. "Wish we had more practice with him, but as far as the health of it, he is healing and he's on schedule to be back and get his legs back under him and we'll see where he's at."

Gibbs, 22, had a fantastic rookie season, rushing for 945 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding 52 catches for 316 yards and a score. He was a breakout star in fantasy football, and big things are expected for his rookie season.

He currently has an average draft position of 12.4 in PPR leagues, according to Fantasy Pros. He won't be on the board for long at fantasy drafts, especially if his hamstring issues are resolved before the regular season.

"Our plan is to get him going next week," Campbell said of Gibbs. "He's trending the right way, and we're hoping the day after the Pittsburgh game, I think we're going to get a lot of guys back, hopefully Sunday, and hopefully they'll get in next week's practice before [the Los Angeles Rams] and then we'll do Rams practice."
