Gibbs sits as a top-4 fantasy pick; the Lions’ two-man rushing attack with Gibbs and Montgomery has thrived, ranking among the league’s best in 2023-24. Questions loom with a new Lions OC and Ben Johnson moving to the Bears, but the backfield’s volume and explosiveness keep Gibbs and Montgomery firmly in fantasy plans for 2025.

SportsLine’s 2025 rankings and cheat sheets highlight sleepers like Michael Pittman and a breakout candidate in RJ Harvey, while flagging risks with players such as Garrett Wilson. For Gibbs, the upside remains huge, but draft strategy should account for coaching changes and shifting usage in the Lions’ revamped scheme.

In short, Gibbs is a premium asset if you’re near the top of the draft, but locking in handcuffs and late-round backs will help weather potential shifts in Detroit’s offensive philosophy heading into 2025.

Pittsburgh is weighing a trade for Jakobi Meyers after his request to move on from the Raiders. A plausible package would send a 2026 fourth-round pick plus a 2026 sixth-round pick from Las Vegas, a cost well below a DK Metcalf-style deal. Meyers broke 1,000 yards in 2024 and has 700+ receiving yards in every season since 2020, giving the Steelers a reliable, scheme-friendly target to pair with George Pickens.

If Pittsburgh lands Meyers, expect a Pittman/Smith-like annual value and a meaningful uptick in target share for Meyers, translating to steadier fantasy production in a higher-octane offense. Market dynamics, contract talks, and Raiders’ draft leverage will shape how lush the upside stays.

Anthony Richardson leads a Colts depth chart that leans on a three-QB setup, with Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard in the mix behind the rookie in Week 1—health questions around Richardson drive the arrangement. Jonathan Taylor anchors the backfield with DJ Giddens and Tyler Goodson providing steady depth, while Pittman Jr., Downs, Pierce, Mitchell, Dulin, and Gould round out a stacked WR corps. Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory headline the tight ends, with Warren and Mallory promising 4TE versatility. Up front, nine in the O-line anchor, the D-line features 10, LB group is five, and the secondary sits at six, highlighted by Ward, Moore, and Brents among others.

Colts must trim from 90 to 53 by Tuesday, with injuries driving decisions at RB, OL and DB. Jonathan Taylor anchors the backfield, but Tyler Goodson’s elbow could force an early-season knee-jerk to lean on primaries and a possible waiver-wire pickup for depth. Riley Leonard’s strong preseason showing reinforces the plan to carry three QBs behind Daniel Jones, and Pittman Jr., Pierce and Downs appear locked as the top pass-catch trio, with tight ends Warren, Alie-Cox, Mallory and Ogletree adding versatile depth.

On the line, Indianapolis aims to add OL help via waivers to complement Raimann, Nelson and Bortolini, while the secondary features a competitive mix of Ward, Moore II and Howard. The fantasy angle centers on Pittman, Pierce and Downs as primary targets, with Leonard’s presence potentially boosting offensive efficiency in favorable matchups and the backfield upside hinging on Goodson’s health and the Colts’ willingness to elevate a practice-squad back if needed.

The Colts are projected to carry 43 locks on the 53-man roster, leaving roughly 10 spots for competition as cuts loom after training camp and the preseason.
