ANALYSIS: The buzz around Gainwell as the Eagles' main man was humming early on, especially after Coach Sirianni rocked that Gainwell tee on Day 1 of training camp. Plot twist: D'Andre Swift has been stealing the spotlight, sprinting ahead as the Eagles' top dog in the backfield. This shift has seen a lot of fantasy managers waving goodbye to Gainwell on the waiver wire.

Now, Swift's been nothing short of spectacular, but those elusive rushing TDs have been slipping through his fingers, courtesy of his QB Jalen Hurts' red zone antics and the infamous tush-push. Gainwell, with his zippy legs and knack for catching out of the backfield, doesn't quite fit like a glove in the Eagles' playbook. But, should Swift face any sideline time, Gainwell's up next as RB1.
On the other hand, Rashaad Penny's mostly been MIA, and Boston Scott? More like Boston Not-a-Lot. Gainwell might seem like a bit of a letdown considering his late-summer draft buzz, but in the NFL, one injury can flip the fantasy script really quickly. We're not wishing injuries on anyone - it's just the nature of this hard-hitting game. Moral of the story? Keep that fantasy bench stocked and ready for anything.
