Jahmyr Gibbs’ rookie season was promising, but his 2024 campaign truly cemented him as a fantasy football superstar. Despite splitting carries with David Montgomery early in the season, Gibbs showcased his elite talent, delivering consistency and explosive performances that made him a league-winning asset.
Regular Season Dominance
Through Week 14, Gibbs averaged 16.3 touches per game, producing 1,328 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns. His dual-threat ability made him a top-five fantasy running back across all scoring formats (standard, 0.5-point PPR, and full PPR). Even with Montgomery sharing the workload, Gibbs’ upside was undeniable.
Fantasy Playoff Hero
When Montgomery went down with an MCL injury in Week 15, Gibbs took over as the lead back. During the fantasy playoffs (Weeks 15-17), he became the RB1 in full PPR and the RB2 in other formats. With three straight games scoring over 21 fantasy points, he was the undisputed MVP of the playoffs. His playoff stats were jaw-dropping:
- 257 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns
- 174 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown
Gibbs’ performance made him a championship-winning piece for countless fantasy teams, with ESPN data showing him as one of the most-rostered players in fantasy championships.
Recognition and Records
Jonathan Macri of Pro Football Focus named Gibbs the 2024 Fantasy Playoff MVP, praising his ability to maintain elite performance under pressure. Notably, Gibbs never finished outside the top 24 PPR running backs in any week all season—a feat unmatched by any other RB in 2024.
The Future
With his incredible consistency and game-breaking ability, Gibbs enters the 2025 draft season as a surefire top-10 pick, potentially even higher depending on league format. Fantasy managers will undoubtedly be eager to build their teams around one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL.
Whether you’re in PPR or standard leagues, Gibbs is poised to be a cornerstone of fantasy success for years to come.
