Kenneth Gainwell was dominant in full PPR formats in the back half of 2024, averaging 5 targets and 4.3 receptions per game with standout weeks (Week 11: 29.5 PPR points, Week 12: 18.2 PPR points). JJ Zachariason started Gainwell in the flex spot in the Flock League despite no injury to Jaylen Warren, highlighting his PPR value. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers paid Gainwell $14 million with $9.8 million guaranteed at signing after losing Rashad White in free agency, signaling strong organizational commitment to Gainwell as the lead back and receiving option. In full PPR formats, Gainwell will be more valuable than half-PPR or non-PPR leagues and could be startable even without a Bucky Irving injury. Bucky Irving is not 100% healthy after shoulder surgery in the offseason and is expected to return at some point in summer or fall, creating uncertainty around his availability early in the season.NegativeRoleNo date
