With David Montgomery gone, Gibbs becomes a no-doubt top-two running back in fantasy. The source has him ranked at 1 among running backs, though it is totally understandable to have Bajan at 1. There are no people ranking Gibbs lower than three or four among running backs unless they are doing the wide receiver thing.PositiveValueJul 28, 2026
The source ranks Gibbs significantly higher than Monique Guy in draft order (Swift at 23, Monique Guy at 37), indicating strong confidence in Gibbs' fantasy value relative to the Lions' other running back options; the source notes this gap is unlikely to change barring injury.NegativeBustJul 28, 2026
Gibbs hunts big plays to an uncomfortable degree, creating volatility in his fantasy output. In 2025, as the Lions' offense became less consistent, he produced stinker stat lines; he exceeded 97 scrimmage yards in only half his games but failed to reach 70 yards six times and was mostly a no-show in the fantasy playoffs, illustrating the downside of his boom-or-bust profile.NegativeRoleJul 28, 2026
With David Montgomery departed and Isaiah Pacheco joining as understudy, Gibbs has become the clear choice inside the opponent's five-yard line by season's end of 2025. However, Harris cannot promise that will hold for the entire upcoming season, noting that Pacheco was routinely pulled for Kareem Hunt near the end zone in Kansas City, suggesting Gibbs may get first try at goal-line work but with some uncertainty.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
Harris ranks Gibbs as his number one overall running back pick in most formats, primarily because he is the most explosive player at the position. While bigger backs like Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor have greater claim to goal-line work, Gibbs' elite cutback ability and massive-play generation differentiate him in a league where fantasy production is increasingly spread out; he had six runs of 40-plus yards in 2025, most in the league, and made three separate home runs in Week 12 against the Giants including the overtime game winner.
