Draft Note by John Paulsen
Gainwell “seems to be penciled in for high-leverage situations like third downs, the hurry-up offense, and goal-line work” per SI.com’s John McMullen. He played 50% or more of the snaps twice last season, turning nine touches into 61 total yards and a touchdown against the Raiders in Week 7, and generating 87 total yards and a touchdown on 16 touches against the Cowboys in Week 18. So he’s produced when called upon. Gainwell is shaping up to be a Nyheim Hines-type, who is “better in best ball” since managers don’t have to worry about deciding when to start him. If anything were to happen to Sanders, Gainwell and Boston Scott would likely split touches in the Philadelphia backfield.
