Latest takes
“Jason grabbed the consensus 1.01 in Jahmyr Gibbs to start his draft off.”
Kurt Mullen· Sep 4“Round 1 Jason (1.01) – Jahmyr Gibbs (RB, DET) Mike (1.05) – James Cook (RB, BUF) Andy (1.09) – Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR, SEA) The start of this mock draft goes very high-T, with six of the first eight picks being RBs, including both Jason and Mike’s picks.”
Kurt Mullen· Sep 4“For example, Jahmyr Gibbs finished last season with 328.4 total fantasy points , which should tell you just about everything you need to know about the kind of production he is capable of bringing to your team.”

“Snap share of each team’s top RB last year: T1. Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor – 83% T3. Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson, Ashton Jeanty – 78% [...] 9. Jahmyr Gibbs – 67% The Lions are paying Gibbs to be a workhorse - and after the Pacheco injury, he’ll have to be one.”

FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3“Jonathan Taylor , Derrick Henry , Jahmyr Gibbs , and Bijan Robinson could all threaten 300 rush attempts, making them excellent candidates to become the 2026 NFL rushing yards leader.”
Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2“Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) & Bijan Robinson (ATL) It is no surprise Gibbs and Robinson are at the top of the list.”
Joshua Poniatowski· Sep 2“The 1.12 feels like an awfully long wait when your leaguemates are sitting there deliberating over Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson at the top of the draft, but all good things come to those who wait, and having two selections in the top thirteen picks is a price worth paying sometimes.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 31“01 this year is Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs . It’s tough to push back too hard against this stance; Gibbs is an amazing back.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 29“Jahmyr Gibbs against the New York Jets in Week 14 may be a popular target, but you are also taking the risk and hoping Gibbs is healthy for that week. Playing the matchups, also known as streaming, is the name of the game, but there will undoubtedly be rival managers taking the contrarian approach to achieve the type of differentiation that often propels teams in the DFS world.”
Raju Byfield· Aug 25“Fantasy Football Research & Advice Fantasy Football Expert Rankings 2026 Fantasy Football Draft Kit Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer Fantasy Football Mock Draft 1.02: Jahmyr Gibbs (RB – DET) Drafting inside the top four picks isn’t complicated. In PPR leagues at pick two, you’re choosing between Jahmyr Gibbs, Ja’Marr Chase or Bijan Robinson .”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 25“Additionally, Montgomery was just ahead of his former teammate, Jahmyr Gibbs (0.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 22“List of RBs last season with at least 400 receiving yards and 1,000 rushing yards: CMC, Bijan Robinson , Jahmyr Gibbs , De’Von Achane , and Chase Brown .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Jahmyr Gibbs has scored at least 10 rushing touchdowns every year of his career and is coming off a 77-catch season.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 21“Gibbs will and should be a top 3-5 pick in every fantasy draft this year.”

“Malik Nabers (NYG) Nabers’ injury and the signing of offensive coordinator Matt Nagy have pulled down his average draft position to the third and sometimes fourth round.”
Joshua Poniatowski· Sep 2“He has a clear path to be the team’s number two target, behind stud wideout Malik Nabers.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 31“Though he had occasionally provided spurts of fantasy relevance as New York’s primary receiving threat in the wake of Malik Nabers ‘ injury, Slayton’s propensity for drops in key situations and inability to ever expand his route tree were notable.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 31“12 | Malik Nabers | WR, New York Giants After bursting onto the scene as a rookie in 2024, Malik Nabers saw his second season cut short in Week 4 when he suffered an ACL tear . Still, in the four games he played last year, the offense clearly ran through Nabers.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 29“Mike comes back with Malik Nabers, and I gotta say, a Chase/Love/Nabers start is about as cool as it gets. This feels like a roster that, if everything hits, is going to be a lot of fun to watch on any given Sunday.”
Parker Hagen· Aug 27“Malik Nabers completely avoided the PUP list this offseason and has been trending towards starting the season as close to completely healthy as anyone could have hoped for. Nabers is still a potential value at his current ECR and ADP, as it was at this time just a year ago, when he was a popular first round draft target.”
Raju Byfield· Aug 23“Malik Nabers ‘ 2025 season was essentially lost to injury — he played just 4 games before tearing his ACL. In that small sample, he averaged 12.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“At the start of the offseason, this was a no-brainer selection for “riskiest player to draft.” After all, Malik Nabers could barely hobble to first base in a friendly kickball game.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 21“All reports stemming from writers at practice have noted that Likely is currently the perpetual second-read for quarterback Jaxson Dart, behind receiver Malik Nabers .”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 19“Malik Nabers remains an elite talent, but his 2026 outlook is heavily tied to recovery from a complicated ACL injury that wiped out nearly all of his sophomore season. Before going down, Nabers was producing like a fantasy WR1 in the Giants’ offense.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 18“If Malik Nabers comes back healthy from his torn ACL, this will be an excellent pick in the third round. We didn’t get to see much of Jaxson Dart and Nabers on the field at the same time, but he’ll be the bona fide No. 1 WR in this offense.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 15“If he can string together a healthy season, we could be looking at a low-end WR1 on a perennially potent offense.” – Ellis Johnson ( FantasyPros ) Malik Nabers (WR – NYG) “ Malik Nabers is my pick.”
