Gibbs posted his fourth top-10 finish of the season last week against the Jaguars, showcasing his wide range of skills in the process. His acceleration allows him to create opportunities that don’t appear there, and that unique skill has allowed him to hold an RB22 floor this season.
Gibbs is a splash play waiting to happen. He has a 20+ yard gain both on the ground and through the air in consecutive games and can be counted on as an elite fantasy option.
It’s rare to turn a profit like this on an early-round pick. You made a good call in August, now it’s on you to capitalize with a 2024 title.
