## Resource

The Commanders’ backfield is heating up as Antonio Gibson, with over 4,000 scrimmage yards and 25 TDs, makes a strong case for a starting role — but Coach Quinn’s committee approach means no one’s guaranteed the lead. Gibson’s rushing efficiency concerns led to his modest $2M deal, yet his offseason performance has him locked in for Week 1. Competitors like Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Kaytron Allen, and Jerome Ford are also vying for touches, setting the stage for a dynamic, shared workload as the season begins.
