Gibbs could see an increased workload Sunday against Seattle, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports. "First game out of the gate, we really didn't want to overload any of those [rookies]," head coach Dan Campbell said after the Lions' season-opening win over the Chiefs. "And now they've got that one under their belt, so for Gibbs, he'll begin to get more touches now."

David Montgomery drew the starting nod at running back in Week 1 against Kansas City and went on to nearly triple Gibbs in both offensive snaps and rush attempts. The rookie was much more efficient, though, averaging six yards per rush (compared to 3.5 for Montgomery) while leading all running backs across the league in broken tackles (six), despite his light workload. While Montgomery's presence could remain a problem for his fantasy production all season long -- especially as it relates to getting goal-line carries -- Gibbs should become a more impactful fantasy asset as his usage increases.
