BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~122
ANALYSIS: Kenneth Gainwell was a trending late-round sleeper going into drafts last year. After being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft, he appeared to be positioned to operate as the Eagles' No. 2 back behind Miles Sanders.
Unfortunately for Gainwell, Boston Scott wound up playing a bigger factor than many of us had speculated and the team also eventually brought in veteran Jordan Howard to stabilize the backfield. As a result, Gainwell managed just 544 total yards from scrimmage on the year.
However, he did bolster his stats by scoring a total of six touchdowns as the Eagles' rushing game completely dominated in the red zone. As long as Sanders is healthy, Gainwell offers very little upside from a fantasy perspective. But Sanders is already having injury issues this preseason.
We could see Gainwell establish himself as the clear handcuff to Sanders this year, or even push for a solid chunk of the RB touches as a pass-catcher and change-of-pace back. His ADP is on the rise, but there is still some room to profit here and this Eagles' offense should be a productive unit that yields plenty of fantasy production.
