Detroit Lions RBs Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki are expected to have expanded roles as the backups to Jahmyr Gibbs in the wake of David Montgomery's season-ending knee injury.
Huddle Up: The major question in Detroit's backfield right now is if Gibbs will be allowed to handle a slightly heavier workload or if he will become a true featured back. Considering the Lions lost their one-game cushion on the rest of the NFC last week, the smart money would be on the latter. Gibbs should handle at least 20 touches per game from here on out and be considered an easy top-five player at his position for the rest of the season.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs rushed eight times for 31 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 83 yards and a score in a 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.
Huddle Up: With the Lions trailing early, Gibbs saw more action than David Montgomery thanks to his prowess in the passing game. Expect the tpyical split between the two backs going forward.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran the ball 15 times for 43 yards against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, Dec. 5. He added six receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown.
Huddle Up: Little came easy for Gibbs on Thursday night as he set season lows in total yards (73) and yards per carry (2.9), but he ran a sharp route on fourth and goal to catch a touchdown pass, giving him a dozen combined scores on the season. The extra rest should do him good before Detroit's Week 15 matchup with Buffalo where Gibbs will once again rate as an RB1.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 87 yards on nine carries and caught two of his four targets for 17 yards in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears. Gibbs also lost a fumble.
Huddle Up: Gibbs surprisingly took a backseat to David Montgomery in this one (11 touches to Montgomery's 24), although that could have been a result of the coaching staff punishing him a bit for the fumble. Nevertheless, Gibbs ripped off chunk gain after chunk gain when he was on the field, so his low usage was not the result of being ineffective. Expect Gibbs' usage to spike in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers and consider him a high-upside RB1 for that matchup.
