BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The recommendation to add Gainwell on all rosters has been consistent since he catapulted Boston Scott to seize the role as Philadelphia’s RB2. His ability to secure a respectable workload so quickly was unexpected. However, his ability to capitalize on his opportunity was not a surprise. He demonstrated his prowess to amass yardage as a dynamic and versatile weapon at the collegiate level (Memphis) and has earned the confidence of Nick Sirianni.
This has elevated Gainwell into ongoing deployment during negative game scripts, which has resulted in usage as both a runner and a reliable pass-catcher for the Eagles. He has now accumulated 21 targets, while also leading the Eagles’ backfield in receiving yards (122). He has also collected 14 receptions, despite being limited to a season-low in Week 5 (1). Miles Sanders remains Philadelphia’s primary rusher and has now captured 16 receptions, but he trails Gainwell in targets (19) and receiving yards (111) entering Week 6.
Gainwell has not attained stand-alone value but he should be rostered in PPR leagues where he remains available. He can also be prioritized by anyone who has Sanders contained on their rosters, as he would elevate into a substantial role if Sanders would be absent for any reason.
