Gainwell hit his stride in Weeks 11-18 as RB7 in fantasy points per game with 13.3 touches and 85 total yards per game. During that stretch, ranked third in target share (17.5%), second in receiving yards per game (45.4), fourth in yards per route run (2.10), and first in first downs per route run (0.116); also ranked 14th in explosive run rate and missed tackle rate overall. Now joins Tampa Bay as complement to Bucky Irving, who has substantial injury history. ECR is RB36 with +2 gap to ADP; could return RB2 value with strong PPR appeal, especially if Irving misses time.
