The Facts:
With 12 wide receivers on hand for Rams training camp and probably no more than six spots available on the regular-season roster, the competition promises to be intense. Over the first four days of camp, Gibson has kicked off a strong bid for a job. He's been working mostly with the first-team offense, which, Gibson pointed out, doesn't mean much this early. "I don't want to get too excited in this process," he said. "I'm just going to try to stay level."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gibson was one of the beneficiaries of the arrival of No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford. The 6-foot, 210-pound Gibson had 53 catches, an increase of 19 from 2009, and piled up 620 yards after getting 348 the year before. He was second among the Rams to Danny Amendola in receptions and yards. And Post-Dispatch staffer Bill Coats, who wrote this report isn't alone in his assessment. Other local reporters have made similar observations. ... It's early, of course. And as Coats notes, there are 12 wideouts -- including newly-signed Mike Sims-Walker, speedy Donnie Avery and intriguing prospect Danario Alexander among others. It's going to take some time to sort this one out.
