Last season as an Eagle, Gainwell saw the fifth-most targets, fourth-most receptions and fifth-most receiving yards among all running backs. He also averaged 13.0 PPR points per game and had seven weekly top-12 finishes at the position. The Bengals' defense is improved on paper, but surrendered the most fantasy points to running backs last season.

Gainwell's receiving volume and $500 discount over Irving make him strong value in negative game script.

Gainwell at $5,200 on DraftKings is a strong value play in a potential negative game script. Last season as an Eagle, he saw the fifth-most targets, fourth-most receptions and fifth-most receiving yards among all running backs, averaging 13.0 PPR points per game with seven weekly top-12 finishes. The Bengals surrendered the most fantasy points to running backs last season (42.9 receiving yards and 0.4 receiving touchdowns per game). Bucky Irving will see the bulk of carries, but obvious passing situations will heavily favor Gainwell, and the Bucs are expected to trail in a 50.5 over/under matchup. At a $500 discount over Irving, Gainwell offers strong value in both cash and GPP contests.
