STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

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

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. Through two weeks, Bucky Irving has 36 touches while Gainwell has significantly fewer. The source, who counted himself among those duped by the preseason hype, believes Gainwell is a rational drop in shallow leagues and should not be started or considered as a FLEX play until workload improves.
