Jahmyr Gibbs would "for sure" take himself first overall in a fantasy draft
Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is a popular choice as the first overall pick in fantasy drafts, and he thinks he's the right choice.
Fantasy football enthusiasts are giving first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs the upper hand in their drafts. The Lions' running back declared he would select himself as the number one choice in a fantasy league with a confident "For sure, yeah. That's easy." Gibbs acknowledged that fantasy players are banking on him to have a blockbuster season.
He explained that whether he pleases many or frustrates a few, he's prepared for the outcome. The Lions made a significant move by trading David Montgomery away this summer, signaling that Gibbs will be the centerpiece of the team's running game. Despite the change, Gibbs downplayed the shift in his role, stating that he will still be getting the majority of carries.
The Lions have also set Gibbs as the highest-paid running back in the league this offseason, and they expect him to exceed expectations. Fantasy owners are following suit, with confidence in the highly anticipated star.
