As Jahmyr Gibbs enters his fourth NFL season, expectations are high, with him favored to win the Offensive Player of the Year award for 2026. The Lions solidified his position as the primary running back by trading David Montgomery, ensuring Gibbs will have a significant workload under new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. After totaling 1,223 rushing yards last season, Gibbs is projected to exceed 1,249.5 yards this year. His odds for the award stand at +700, ahead of notable players like Bijan Robinson and Ja’Marr Chase.
