The Detroit Lions don’t care about fantasy football

Fantasy football is just that: fantasy. In the realm of reality, the Detroit Lions are using their players how they want, and they are winning. It’s hard to argue against that, but alas, here we are.

Through four weeks of the 2023 NFL season, a recurring complaint has been the Lions’ “misuse” of their first-round running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Some have expected Gibbs to be the main back out of the gate, but it has instead been David Montgomery leading the charge when healthy. This came to the forefront on Thursday night in the Lions’ stomping of the Green Bay Packers.
