The source likes Kenneth Gainwell as a late-round value pick in PPR formats. They highlight his role in Tampa Bay, noting that Baker Mayfield frequently targets the running back position, which should provide Gainwell with significant volume.PositiveValueJun 11, 2026
Kenneth Gainwell is an intriguing value in the 12th round, especially with his ability to step up when needed, as shown by his strong performance last season.PositiveRoleNo date
Gainwell is positioned as the lead back in Tampa Bay with Rashad White off the roster. Baker Mayfield targeted the running back position 90 times (sixth in NFL) with 77 completions (fourth in league), making Gainwell a natural safety valve. He has proven capable of handling a variety of touches beyond pass-catching, averaging 5.1 yards per carry on first downs, and is particularly valuable given Bucky Irving's nagging shoulder injury.PositiveValueNo date
Gainwell is coming off a career season as RB4 in receptions and RB5 in receiving yards; he managed 130 yards and 30 fantasy points in a single game when Jalen Warren was sidelined, demonstrating lead-back capability. Tampa Bay signed him to a two-year deal with $10 million guaranteed, and he profiles as a premium flex option with tons of upside in PPR formats, going in the 13th round at ADP 121.6—great value.
