BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Kenneth Gainwell warrants inclusion among this week’s recommendations as the third-year back continues to reside directly below D'Andre Swift on Philadelphia’s depth chart.
Anyone who can comfortably locate a roster spot can consider the addition of Gainwell. He would elevate into an expanded role if factors leading into Week 17 compel Nick Sirianni to alter the percentage of touches that are distributed within the Eagles’ backfield.
Gainwell secured a 45.8% snap share from Weeks 13-15, which was below the 50% share that has been attained by Swift. Gainwell has also accumulated 12 attempts and 54 rushing yards since Week 13, while averaging 4.5 yards per attempt during those contests.
Gainwell also leads the Eagles’ backfield in routes run (63) and receiving yards (42) since Week 13. Philadelphia has clinched a playoff berth but the Eagles should still be incentivized to entrust Swift with the most extensive workload.
However, having Gainwell secured on your rosters provides you with the opportunity to elevate him into your lineup if there are indications that his touches will increase when the Eagles host Arizona in Week 17.
