STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Gainwell's late-season passing-game dominance and soft Cincy coverage support a Week 1 start.

Gainwell was the RB7 in fantasy points per game in Weeks 11-18 last year with 13.3 touches and 85 total yards per game; he 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) during that stretch. He will split work with Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's backfield this season. Cincinnati allowed the sixth-most yards per target, second-most YAC per reception, and third-most yards per route run to backs last year, creating a favorable passing-game matchup even if the run defense improves.
