# Rich Hribar: Hribar places Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson alone in Tier 1 of his 2026 fantasy RB tiers, edging slightly toward Gibbs as the top pick, and expects Gibbs to increase his share of Detroit's opportunities with David Montgomery gone.

5 checkable claims — 4 depth chart calls and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

> I am edging slightly towards Gibbs, given the greater top-down confidence in his offense, but that is strictly splitting hairs.
