Kenneth Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

Kenneth Gainwell - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Kenneth Gainwell is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 16 of the 2023 NFL season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell is not currently a standout fantasy asset, but his value could significantly rise with increased volume. If injuries result in a more prominent role, Gainwell could become a must-start option every week.

Gainwell doesn't offer any week-to-week value. He cannot be started with any sort of confidence as long as D'Andre Swift is healthy, but in the event Swift is hurt in tonight's game or Week 16, Gainwell would become an immediate RB2 starter. Fantasy managers are running out of weeks for these injury handcuffs to hit, which is why these guys are lower on the list, but Gainwell qualifies as a quality handcuff. He'd likely get 12 carries in the event of a Swift injury with 2-3 targets. That would be enough for RB2 value, but the touchdown equity would be low.
