Gainwell finishes Week 2 with seven carries for 25 yards and, more concerningly, isn't even a locked-in lead receiving back as he has just four catches for nine yards... 36 Bucky Irving touches in two weeks... Gainwell is a rational drop in shallow leagues with this kind of workload.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Gainwell gets 7 carries, 4 catches; Irving dominates with 36 touches in two weeks.

After a training camp red carpet praise tour, Gainwell finished Week 2 with just seven carries for 25 yards and only four catches for nine yards, failing to establish himself as a locked-in lead receiving back. Meanwhile, Bucky Irving has accumulated 36 touches in two weeks. The source, who counts himself among those duped by the offseason hype, believes Gainwell is a rational drop in shallow leagues with this kind of workload. While the source believes in the power of the money long-term and thinks Gainwell will play more at some point, there's no reason to start him or consider him as a FLEX play until workload improves.
