The Falcons-Lions clash isn’t the most exciting game on the schedule, but it is set to feature rare running back history. Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs are both rookies who were selected near the top of the 2023 NFL Draft. <a href="https://twitter.com/gregauman/status/1705251879557464334" rel="noopener">It’s a rare occurrence</a> when two rookies selected within the top 12 of a draft battle one another, per Greg Auman of FOX Sports.</p><p>“So to have two RBs drafted in top 12 playing each other as rookies (like Robinson-Gibbs on Sunday) has happened only 3 times in last 33 years. Before that, you had epic battle in 1989: Barry Sanders gets 1 yard on five carries, Tim Worley gets 0 on five carries in Steelers win,” Auman reported.</p><p>Three times in the last 33 years? That is incredible to say the least. Auman <a href="https://twitter.com/gregauman/status/1705250846848552964" rel="noopener">later revealed</a> that the last time two rookie running backs who were selected within the first 12 picks of the draft played each other during their rookie seasons came in 2000, when Jamal Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens and Thomas Jones of the Arizona Cardinals went head-to-head.</p><h2>Falcons-Lions: Bijan Robinson vs. Jahmyr Gibbs</h2><p>Robinson, who was selected by the Falcons out of Texas with the eighth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-bijan-robinson-run-vs-packers" rel="noopener">impressed early in his career</a>. Meanwhile, Gibbs, a Georgia Tech and Alabama product, was selected 12th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Lions. He’s mostly worked in a versatile role for Detroit and has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-jahmyr-gibbs-fantasy-owners-ben-johnson" rel="noopener">potential to be a key player</a>.</p><p>Robinson and Gibbs are both exciting young players with high-ceilings. It would not be surprising to see them both perform well on Sunday. Perhaps battling one another may lead to extra motivation.</p><p>In an era where running backs are often overlooked and underrated, this Falcons-Lions clash will be all about the running backs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The defense put on an absolute display while the offense also proved their worth. But one of the topics of conversation throughout and after the contest was the lack of touches for rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who played a mere 19 offensive snaps. For reference, David Montgomery played 55.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-week-1-fantasy-football-takeaways-buy-jahmyr-gibbs" rel="noopener">Gibbs was productive</a> with his minutes though, rushing for six yards per carry and reeling in two catches for 18 yards. And if there was any concern about his minimal playing time, head coach Dan Campbell made it clear the 12th overall pick is a <a href="https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2023/9/8/23864897/detroit-lions-jahmyr-gibbs-increased-workload-plan-dan-campbell" rel="noopener">big part of</a> Detroit’s plans.

I think it’s important you go in and let them get a feel of what it’s going to be like. That’s the first one,” Campbell said. “Let’s go in and make sure that the guys that have been around here, the guys that have taken a load for us, that we’ve been in games with, they take on a bigger load, and we work these rookies in and get them a feel of it. Now they’ve got that one under their belt.</p><p>“So, for Jahmyr Gibbs, he’ll begin to get more touches now. That was just the beginning last night.”</p><p>That will be music to Lions’ fans ears. That Montgomery-Gibbs duo could be really special in 2023 and Gibbs also looks to more than just a back for Campbell.

He is also currently an Assistant Coach on Scouting &amp; Analytics for the Philippine national youth basketball team.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Detroit Lions made a statement in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season by upsetting the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401547353" rel="noopener">21-20</a>. The Lions showed that they are a team to be reckoned with this season. In this article, we will discuss the top fantasy football takeaways from the Lions’ win over the Chiefs. We will focus on Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, Jared Goff, and Amon-Ra St. Brown and why they are good guys to pick up in fantasy football after this win.</p><h2><b>Lions Beat The Chiefs, 21-20</b></h2><p>The Detroit Lions pulled off a huge upset in Week 1. Their defense played a big role in the win, holding the Chiefs to just 20 points. The Lions’ offense was also impressive, with Jared Goff throwing for 253 yards and a touchdown. The Lions also tallied +28 rushing yards and +27 receiving yards. They just showed that they are a team on the rise and that nobody can afford to overlook them. If they play this well consistently, they should be a major contender in the NFC.</p><p>In this article, we’re going to break down the Detroit Lions’ performance in Week 1 of fantasy football. We’ll talk about four key players and how they fared in their game against the Chiefs.</p><h2><b>1. Jahmyr Gibbs: A Rising Star</b></h2><p>Jahmyr Gibbs had a great game for the Lions in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-kadarius-toney-players-blame-week-1-loss-lions" rel="noopener">their victory over the Chiefs</a>. He carried the ball seven times, gaining 42 yards, and caught both passes thrown to him for 18 yards. While some fantasy managers may have wanted more action from him, the Lions’ coaching staff had already hinted that he might not get a lot of playing time right away. Surprisingly, he had 14 fewer carries than David Montgomery and only two passes thrown his way. He also did not have any chances to score near the opponent’s goal line. Even with these reduced expectations, it’s essential to remember that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-jared-goff-member-join-jahmyr-gibbs-hype-train" rel="noopener">Gibbs is a dynamic player</a> who could shine with just a few opportunities. With an upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2, consider holding Gibbs if he’s on your roster or inquiring with the Gibbs manager in your league to see if you can trade for the Lions halfback.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jahmyr Gibbs is a stud.</p><p>Lions gotta feed him.<br> <a href="https://t.co/SrJtVyLTGl">pic.twitter.com/SrJtVyLTGl</a></p><p>— JPAFootball (@jasrifootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/jasrifootball/status/1699983903958712491?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 8, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>2. Sam LaPorta: Rook Impressed</b></h2><p>Another rookie who made a mark for the Lions <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-causes-concern-despite-shocking-win-chiefs" rel="noopener">was tight end Sam LaPorta</a>. In his first regular-season game, LaPorta caught all five passes targeted to him, totaling 39 receiving yards. While he may not be a fantasy superstar just yet, he displayed natural receiving skills. Keep in mind that LaPorta also has blocking duties, and he only ran routes on about 70 percent of his snaps. Still, he managed to be the fourth most targeted player behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds, and Marvin Jones. If his involvement in the game increases, LaPorta could become a valuable low-end fantasy starter.</p><h2><b>3. Jared Goff: The Solid Quarterback</b></h2><p>Lions QB Jared Goff had a decent game. He completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 253 yards, throwing one touchdown pass in their win against the Chiefs. He also had no interceptions. While the Lions did pull off an upset against the reigning Super Bowl champions, their offense wasn’t exceptionally strong. They punted the ball five times, which was more than their average last season. They also struggled to get into scoring positions against a Chiefs defense that was missing key players. However, Goff’s statistics were in line with his 2022 averages. In addition, he extended his remarkable streak of consecutive passes without an interception to 359. That actually ranks third all-time behind Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. Color us impressed.</p><h2><b>4. Amon-Ra St. Brown: A Consistent Performer</b></h2><p>Amon-Ra St. Brown had a good game for the Lions. He caught six of the nine passes thrown to him, accumulating 71 receiving yards and scoring a touchdown against the Chiefs. This performance was consistent with his 2022 numbers, where he averaged 6.6 receptions on 9.1 targets with 72.6 receiving yards per game. Fantasy managers were pleased to see him find the end zone this time, considering he often got tackled near the five-yard line last season. Even though Gibbs and LaPorta could become more involved in short-range passes as the season progresses, St. Brown remains the top receiver in Detroit. We expect him to have another excellent year.</p><h2><b>Looking Ahead</b></h2><p>In Week 1, the Detroit Lions had some noteworthy fantasy football performances. Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta, both rookies, showed promise. They should become valuable assets in the future. Jared Goff had a steady game, and Amon-Ra St. Brown continued to impress as the top receiver for the Lions. If the Lions’ Week 1 performance was any indicator, this is a team fantasy football managers will want stock in.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
