BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: As we've seen with Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss this week, the tide can change very quickly in NFL backfields. So while D'Andre Swift has been the standout star in the Eagles' backfield, firmly seizing the lead role, we shouldn't completely forget about Kenneth Gainwell. Swift's performance has led many to sleep on Gainwell, who's been dropped in leagues at an astonishing rate. Swift's play been nothing short of impressive, yet those much-coveted rushing touchdowns have been elusive, often overshadowed by Jalen Hurts' red zone prowess and the Eagles' favored 'tush-push' strategy.

Gainwell, despite his agility and adept catching abilities, hasn't quite carved out his niche in the Eagles' strategy. However, should Swift be sidelined, Gainwell is poised to take over as the top running back. This situation underscores the unpredictable nature of the NFL, where luck can change as quickly as a coin flip.
Remember, injuries are an unfortunate but inherent part of the game. So, view your fantasy bench as a strategic reserve, always ready to unveil a hidden gem that could clinch your victory at the most crucial moment. Gainwell's they type of player that could provide meaningful fantasy production down the stretch if Swift were to be injured.
