JJ Zachariason highlighted Gibson as an example of a late-round running back (18th round pick) who won a role and moved up significantly in draft value, rising from an 18th round pick to approximately a 10th round pick. Zachariason uses Gibson as a model for his best ball strategy of loading up on late-round running backs in the 13th-18th round range, as some of these late guys can hit when roles open up due to injury or opportunity.

NegativeRoleSep 27, 2025Legendary Upside

Backfield role remains highly uncertain heading into Week 4; Gibson fumbled in the second half after being benched in favor of Henderson in the fourth quarter, creating a three-way committee with Stevenson and Henderson. At $5,200 on DraftKings, the source views him as a dart-type play with no clear read on the situation, noting there could be 'high jinks' in the backfield and cautioning against assuming the role will be given to any single back. Gibson has played enough snaps to be a legitimate factor in touch distribution; his presence and fumble history complicate Henderson's path to a full workload. The source notes Gibson was inserted into the game early in drives, suggesting he retains some role even as Henderson saw increased snaps late in the game.
