From the episode

Gainwell is like a flex plus. And he was one of the more highly drafted RB2s. So if you have to start him in PPR as a flex, I think that's fine. Because in this environment, he probably projects to catch at least a few passes. And he should have a real floor. But I don't know if you're going to get baseline work. I don't think you're going to get any of the green zone or red zone work.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Gainwell is a solid PPR flex with a floor but limited red zone upside.

Gainwell is a viable PPR flex option who projects to catch passes, providing a solid floor, but he is unlikely to see red zone or green zone work; expectations should be tempered unless Bucky Irving's shoulder injury becomes a long-term issue, in which case Gainwell could reach top-eight to top-ten weekly RB status.
