Dynasty Rookie Report Card: Jahmyr Gibbs and Zach Charbonnet

Each week throughout the 2023 NFL season, I’ll cover two rookies in the Rookie Report Card and will generally write about the most prominent performers from that particular week. I’ll discuss how well he’s lived up to expectations at the NFL level and then grade the player in three categories: performance to date, rookie season potential, and long-term upside. Before we start, I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Brandon Haye for picking up this article series the last two weeks while I was dealing with some things in my personal life. He did an incredible job, so I hope you’ll give him a follow and check out his other work.

Jahmyr Gibbs, RB DET

Week 11 stats: Eight carries for 36 yards and a touchdown, six receptions on six targets for 59 yards; PPR points, 21.5 PPR points, RB3 on the week.

Featuring Gibbs in this series is long overdue. All he has done is finish as a top-three fantasy running back in three consecutive games. He’s also scored a touchdown in four straight. The last two performances came with David Montgomery also having excellent games. In week 11, Gibbs finished as the RB3 overall with only eight rushing attempts, once again proving he doesn’t need to be a bell cow to be an elite fantasy option. Let’s get to know him as a prospect.
