FantasyPros Articles on Kenneth Gainwell
From the article
Kenneth Gainwell was an integral part of the Pittsburgh backfield last year for the entire season, but he really hit his stride in Weeks 11-18 as the RB7 in fantasy points per game with 13.3 touches and 85 total yards per game... 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).
STACKED’s take
Gainwell's elite passing-game role and Cincy's weak pass defense to backs support Week 1 flex upside.
Gainwell was an integral part of Pittsburgh's backfield last year and hit his stride in Weeks 11-18 as the RB7 in fantasy points per game with 13.3 touches and 85 total yards per game. His passing game usage was elite during this stretch: 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). He also ranked 14th in explosive run rate and missed tackle rate overall for the season. Now with Tampa Bay, Gainwell will split work with Bucky Irving, and Derek Brown projects a neutral-to-positive matchup against Cincinnati, especially through the air; Cincy allowed the sixth-most yards per target, second-most YAC/reception, and third-most yards per route run to backs last year.
