Jahmyr Gibbs

No. 0 · 4th season

The bettors have already made up their minds about Jahmyr Gibbs

Before a single game of the 2025 season is played, a lot of people with money on the line have already decided who the best offensive player in football will be next year. That player is Jahmyr Gibbs.

Gibbs is a running back for the Detroit Lions — a player who, in a league that keeps insisting the running back position doesn't matter anymore, has quietly become the name the market keeps circling back to. He's not just listed as the favorite for the 2026 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. He's drawing the most bets of anyone on the board.

When the heaviest action lands on one name this early, it usually means something. Not a guarantee — odds shift, seasons surprise — but it means a real number of people looked at the whole field and said: him. That's a different kind of conversation than a highlight reel or a hot-take ranking. That's conviction backed up.

The Lions have been building something in Detroit, and Gibbs has become one of the clearest reasons to believe in it. The question now is whether the season confirms what the bettors already seem to know.
