Jack Gibbens

Jack Gibbens enters Year 5 as a depth LB for the Arizona Cardinals at age 27, ranked #17 at the position in Verdict’s dynasty score (84.0, stable trend). He logged 44.5% of defensive snaps in 2025 on an ascending trend, with a season-high 100.0% snap mark in Week 16 — a LB3-locked profile with moderate opportunity risk. Contender rosters should view him as a depth contributor rather than a primary IDP asset.

Gibbens logged 44.5% of Arizona’s defensive snaps in 2025 on a spread-heavy scheme with man-heavy coverage, which preserves his floor. The 39 solo tackles and 8 tackles for loss across 17 games establish a moderate usage baseline. A stable IDP profile with 1 sack and 4 pass deflections keeps him relevant in deeper scoring formats.

Gibbens carried full participation in practice across every reported injury check in 2025 — no DNPs, no missed game time, and 17 starts logged at an ascending snap share. His defensive role does not expose him to significant contact risk.

Snap share trends upward, with a season-high 100.0% mark in Week 16 and a 51.0% snap percentage in Week 11, indicating late-season usage increases. Arizona’s 4-3 scheme with man-heavy coverage does not create significant matchup variance for Gibbens, who will remain a depth contributor in 2026.

Arizona’s 4-3 scheme with man-heavy coverage fits Gibbens’ defensive profile, which is built around tackling and press-man coverage. Defensive coordinator Nick Rallis’ system preserves the Cardinals’ aggressive play style from his Eagles background, which suits Gibbens’ role as a depth LB.

Stable Verdict’s trade-value model tags Gibbens as stable, reflecting his 44.5% average defensive snap percentage in 2025 and increasing usage trend.

Ceiling tracks near 2025’s 39 solo tackles and 8 tackles for loss, with moderate late-season usage increases. Floor drops to 20 solo tackles and 2 tackles for loss if snap share declines below 40%.
