Gainwell relegated to backup role without Rodgers' checkdowns.

Gainwell is nothing more than a backup, even in PPR leagues, with the absence of Aaron Rodgers' checkdowns in 2026. Camp reports make it look like Gainwell will be overall limited in the rushing attack, like the majority of his career, opening up an opportunity for Bucky Irving to bounce back. His passing production in 2025 was very good but affected by Rodgers' tendencies.
