And he did it while sharing snaps with David Montgomery.
But now, with a new offensive coordinator in John Morton, some analysts are pumping the brakes on the Gibbs hype train—at least a little. ESPN’s Mike Clay has Gibbs on his list of players due for a touchdown dip in 2025, projecting a fall to 14 total scores. That’s still strong production, but Clay points out that Gibbs outpaced his expected touchdown total (13.2) and had fewer red zone carries than Montgomery when both were healthy.
Still, not all analysts are sounding the alarm. ESPN fantasy experts Matt Bowen and Tristan Cockroft still see Gibbs as a top TD threat in the league, praising his speed, burst, and surprising toughness near the goal line. Cockroft even noted Gibbs led the league in explosive run rate (15.7%) and ranked third in touchdown conversion inside the 3-yard line.
So what gives?
Well, the truth is that scoring touchdowns can be unpredictable. Even great players see natural statistical swings from season to season. Gibbs may not hit 20 touchdowns again, but a slight dip doesn’t mean regression in impact. With Morton calling plays and Gibbs still evolving, a different stat sheet might just mean a new kind of dominance.
The bottom line: Gibbs is still a nightmare for defenses. Whether or not he repeats 2024’s numbers, he’s one of the most electric weapons in the NFL—and that’s not changing anytime soon.
