From the article

It's really splitting hairs when deciding between these two backs. With it being so close, my tiebreaker comes down to the better offense. More trips to the red zone equals more chances to score touchdowns. Add in the absence of David Montgomery, and Gibbs could finally top 300 carries. That slight edge is enough for me to make Gibbs my RB1 in 2026.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Zeigler picks Gibbs as RB1 due to better offense and Montgomery's exit.

Kyle Zeigler's RB1 verdict for 2026 favors Gibbs over Robinson based on the Lions' superior offense (fifth-ranked by PFF vs. Atlanta's 15th), which translates to more red-zone opportunities and touchdowns. The absence of David Montgomery and the potential for Gibbs to finally reach 300+ carries provide the tiebreaker edge.
