Jahmyr Gibbs

No. 0 · 4th season

Gibbs is the name bettors keep circling for next year's top honor

Oddsmakers don't hand out favorites lightly, and right now Jahmyr Gibbs is the name sitting at the top of the board for Offensive Player of the Year in 2026.

Gibbs plays running back for the Detroit Lions, a team that has built its identity around running the ball — and he has become the clearest reason why that identity works. When a player reaches the point where the people whose money depends on being right are already pointing at them before the season starts, something real has been established.

Being the preseason favorite for an award like this is a spotlight, and spotlights change things. Expectations shift. Every game becomes a referendum. The question now is what Gibbs does with the target that comes with being the one everyone is watching.
