| 0:00.0 | So there are certain players on your team that right now you might love them, but I'm here to tell you you have to trade them away. |
| 0:05.5 | Now, don't get me wrong, they've been producing for you. That's why you're enjoying them, but that's not going to continue. |
| 0:10.2 | And the reasoning is different for each of these guys. So let's start with a player in Detroit. |
| 0:14.4 | And that'll be the rookie Jemir Gibbs who had his best game of the season and thus his career in week seven. |
| 0:19.4 | With David Montgomery out, Gibbs saw elite usage. |
| 0:22.2 | 86% of the snaps, that's a rare number for running backs in today's NFL and 79% of the rush |
| 0:28.1 | attempts. I mean, basically the only guys who are seeing this type of usage are like Christian |
| 0:31.2 | McCaffrey, maybe Josh Jacobs and Kiram Williams when he was healthy. Now this totaled a really |
| 0:35.2 | solid game for Jameer Gibbs. 20 total touches on 21 |
| 0:38.3 | opportunities. Goes over 120 total yards. He gets his first touchdown. He benefited from the Detroit |
| 0:43.2 | Lions playing from behind the entire game. They get blown out in this one. So it's a lot of passing, |
| 0:47.7 | which led to a lot of targets for a great and elite receiving back in Gibbs. So this was the usage |
| 0:52.2 | that you were hoping for from Gibbs. He ends up |
| 0:54.6 | producing in a major way and he sees all of the usage over the other running back in this backfield, |
| 0:59.1 | Craig Reynolds. Now in two games with David Montgomery out this season missing with injury, |
| 1:03.1 | we've seen Gibbs play 75% of the snaps and average 19 touches per game. But that's exactly the |
| 1:08.3 | issue. He's only seen this solid to strong usage when Montgomery has been out. And as you can see from the tweet right here, a doctor on Twitter, |
| 1:14.2 | Jeff Mueller, David Montgomery is expected to miss some time. He's already missed one game, but it's |
| 1:17.8 | not a major injury. Cam Acres dealt with this injury in 2020, only missed two games. The lines do |
| 1:22.3 | have a week nine by, so maybe they just hold Montgomery out for their Monday night football game this week. But there's also a chance Montgomery could return this week. |
| 1:28.6 | So it's sort of a risk if you have Jemir Gibbs. |
| 1:30.7 | You might get another start out of him heading into the buy, |
