Kenneth Gainwell Week 1 Outlook - Eagles at Patriots

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Sep 10th 2023, 12:05pm EDT

See: D'Andre Swift. This backfield is going to be frustrating all season if everyone stays healthy. The Eagles love Gainwell, but they also know what he is: solid and reliable if not spectacular. He hits the holes that are there and is reliable as a pass catcher, but he isn't necessarily explosive. He's valuable, and he started to take snaps and touches away from Miles Sanders late last season, but he doesn't scream "RB1." He's going to have a role in this offense, but he doesn't offer the weekly ceiling that fantasy managers want or need.
