From the episode

Jameer Gibbs is in line to do all of the work for this team. And it's not just me saying that Dan Campbell used one of my favorite football phrases. There is this summer bell cow.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Gibbs is set for a bell-cow role with massive upside in 2026

The source highlights that Jahmyr Gibbs is in line for a massive workload increase with zero competition for touches, as the other running backs on the roster have only 12 career touches combined. Dan Campbell has referred to him as a 'bell cow,' and the team is expected to utilize him more in the slot to increase his production, potentially mirroring the usage of Bijan Robinson or Christian McCaffrey. The source projects he could have an Offensive Player of the Year type season if he reaches a 68-75% touch share.
