Kenneth Gainwell

Week 1 at New England Patriots
Kenneth Gainwell returns for his third season and he is pretty much in the same spot as someone who will share time with two other backs. Gainwell did not rush for 300 yards in either of his first two seasons and that's mostly because of touches. Where he has had a positive is touchdowns as he has had nine total in his first two seasons.

Gainwell is a bench player for Week 1. He could end up being a fantasy asset as the season goes on but there are a lot of unknowns and that means he is a wait and see.

Week 14 at New York Giants
Kenneth Gainwell had only six touches but it produced 53 total yards thanks to his involvement in the passing game. He is only playing about 25% of the snaps but still sees the ball.

Gainwell should be on your fantasy radar, especially in PPR leagues, but for Week 14, he should remain on the bench against the Giants who have an average run defense.

Week 15 vs. Washington
The Eagles continue to run the ball and Kenneth Gainwell will be in that mix like he was against the Jets before the bye week. He rushed the ball 12 times for 54 yards and a touchdown in that game. He will be Miles Sanders' primary backup so the 10+ touches are in play.

The matchup is tough against Washington but we don't know how COVID-19 will affect them. So, even though Philly could have a big running day again, there are some questions. Keep Gainwell on the bench for Week 15.
