1.02 aftershock in 1QB with quick drafts after that Gibbs pick

[mild]

What a baller.

Most rushes of 20+ in the NFL this year:

1. Jahmyr Gibbs - 10
2. Christian McCaffrey - 8
3. Conner/Mostert/Barkley/Najee/Keaton Mitchell - 7

It's still Bijan, but anyone that got Gibbs as the "consolation prize" as the RB2 last year after Bijan is pretty happy right now.

Yes, even with David Montgomery there...

I got em’ both.

Gibbs was nearly as must have as Bijan was for me. I took Bijan at 1.01 because I knew he wouldn’t make it back to me at 3. Arich went 1.02 so I snapped up Gibbs at 3.

Gibbs looks exceptional and he’s really exceeded my very high expectations I had for him. And seeing him get a solid portion of the redzone work these past several weeks has been so exciting.

I’d only have Bijan ahead of him in dynasty, and I’m not arguing with anyone that has Gibbs at 1.

Well hell yeah - having both is pretty good too! It must be nice...

Interesting that we're now 15 weeks in and Gibbs has outscored Bijan, despite them both sharing a backfield and Gibbs having a FAR slower start.

0.5 PPR:
Gibbs 180.3
Bijan 168.9

You've gotta wonder how many seasons of that it would take for the "Bijan RB1" crowd to change their position. (Just kidding, they never will)

Even I'd tell you that I'd rather have Bijan - but I'd add that he certainly needs some luck to break his way, situationally speaking. If it keeps going like this, then I imagine Gibbs will be the preferred asset to teams that are interested in winning now.

That's a really interesting point. My question would be why would any manager want an elite RB when they are not interested in winning now? If your team isn't in a window to win then rostering Bijan makes zero sense to me.

Speaking for the teams I've spoken with that have Bijan/aren't competing... they think they can either win it all next year with a few more pieces or they can't get good value for him. I offered up some hefty packages early in the year that weren't enough that I wouldn't offer up again today.

He's still young though and plenty of time to turn it around. Building a dynasty team isn't always as easy as "let me get me 2 elite WR, QB and then I'll go grab the RB". I can see why some of the teams who have been at the bottom want the elite RB on their team to make a difference and think they can get cheap WR talent to fill around them. The main issue is that Bijan hasn't been elite and those teams would have been better off selling for a huge package at the start of the year. He's on a lot of non-playoff teams in my leagues and the one he was on, he just got bounced pretty badly

Back to Gibbs. Someone I'd love to roster but the price is astronomical. Probably more than Bijan was at the start of the year. I've given up on chasing the shiny RB long ago. I'll keep trying to find the Rachaad Whites for cheap

Yep. My best team is running out White, KWilliams, Swift, and Montgomery and I led the league in scoring. It's nice to have the top RBs when they are firing at the right time, but paying an arm and a leg to get one is a tough pill to swallow.

[Oddball456]

This year is a repeat for 2020 draft for me. Team A had the 1.01, and I have the 1.02.

2020 Team A takes CEH, I take JT.
2023 Team A (same team) took Bijan, I grabbed Gibbs.

2020 I "earned" the 1.02, 2023 I got what ended up being the 1.02 for Claypool (right after the trade to the Bears), Jamaal Williams, and Isaiah McKenzie.

Jahmyr Gibbs is so stinkin' good.

Disgusting.

I wouldn't blame anyone for preferring Gibbs to Bijan outright in a startup right now.

Credit to the Lions. They said they wanted him to be Alvin Kamara... and they've been true to their word.

Yep. And I've seen some expert mocks lately where he's gone ahead of Bijan. They're very close in value IMO - dealer's choice. Then it's a question of how big (if at all) is the gap to Hall. I'm probably taking Hall at value over Gibbs/Bijan.

That hole was massive. There are a lot of backs in the league that take that to the house. Just him and the safety, and he has a 2 way go. Gibbs is awesome, but that's not even one of his better runs.

If you don't get them in a startup or in a rookie draft....good luck. Buying high on RBs tends not to work well.

Gibbs is fantastic. It started out a little rough with the usage, but Detroit adjusted really well and he's looked the part ever since. Once they really start getting him going in the receiving game, it's going to be lights out.

[cazzie33]

Gibbs is nowhere near peak Kamara but then again only CMC was either way as dynamic both as a runner or receiver

As for current status Gibbs isn't the runner Bijan is(or Hall) but being in the Lions offense provides better usage. That could change with a competent hire in Atlanta on the offensive side of the ball. If Ben Johnson or Harbaugh go there then I'm going Bijan over Gibbs all day. Belichick ... not so sure

I bought CMC after his massive year. Had him for 2 injury plagued years, then moved him for a fraction of the price. Then he went to SF and stayed healthy for 2 straight big years again.
