Lions' Defensive Collapse and Gibbs's Rise

The Detroit Lions faced a disastrous week 15, surrendering 48 points to the Buffalo Bills, primarily due to injury-stricken defensive units. David Montgomery’s injury, a torn MCL, drastically shifts the fantasy landscape, positioning Jameer Gibbs as a potential league-winning asset moving forward. In previous seasons when Montgomery was sidelined, Gibbs excelled, showcasing exceptional skills with impressive touch counts and yardage. Without question, the Lions' offense will need to rely heavily on Gibbs, especially since their offensive line remains uninjured and capable of producing scoring opportunities.
