Gibbs backs No. 1 overall pick status with solo role and rising snap/touch projections.

Gibbs was a popular No. 1 overall pick in fantasy football heading into 2026 and agrees with the choice, stating 'For sure' when asked if he'd select himself. He is set to star in a solo role after splitting reps with David Montgomery for three seasons, with backup options limited to undrafted free agent Jacob Saylors (2 career carries) and fourth-rounder Sione Vaki (7 career carries). Gibbs took a career-high 320 scrimmage touches for 1,839 yards with 18 total touchdowns in 2025, and his snap count is expected to rise significantly from the 713 snaps he played last season.
