If you had any piece of the New York Giants-Detroit Lions matchup in Week 12 in fantasy football, we hope it was RB Jahmyr Gibbs. In what should go down as the wildest games of the week, the Lions lead back narrowly edged out Colts RB Jonathan Taylor for the best single-game performance of the fantasy season.
Jahmyr Gibbs 55.4 PPR points. Jaxon Smith-Njigba 37.1 points. Hunter Henry 24.5 points. What do these Week 12 scores have in common besides being extraordinarily good point totals? They all occurred against favorable mismatches for those players.

The fantasy football season continues, and with the weather getting colder and harsher around the country, running backs will begin to become much more key for many teams.
Jahmyr Gibbs had himself a heck of a game in Detroit's overtime win over the New York Giants in Week 12. The Lions dynamic running back took the opening handoff of overtime 69 yards for a go-ahead touchdown, giving the host Lions their first lead of the game. Detroit's defense made it stand up in the 34-27 win.
The Detroit running back stuffed the stat sheet against the Giants, while a pair of Vikings players fell flat as J.J. McCarthy’s struggles continued.
