The Pittsburgh Steelers are finalizing an undisclosed one-year deal with former Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell on Tuesday night, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Gainwell will stay in the state of Pennsylvania and become the change-of pace option behind Jaylen Warren after Najee Harris left in free agency to join the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old will most likely be used more as a third-down option for Pittsburgh in pass-catching situations. In his four years with the Eagles, Gainwell had 280 carries for 1,185 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and 12 rushing touchdowns while adding 102 catches on 138 targets for 721 yards and an addition touchdown in 66 games (four starts). The Steelers still also have running back Cordarrelle Patterson to share the workload. At best, Gainwell will be a low-ceiling RB3/flex in point-per-reception leagues in his new home.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had an impressive season of production in 2024, compiling 1,456 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns to go along with 431 receiving yards and one score through the air. However, the former first-round pick out of Texas wants more explosive runs in 2025. "We're done with 30-yard runs and all that stuff," Robinson said. "Now it's time to get those 60 yards, 50 yards. So, I've been doing a lot more explosive drills. I've been doing a lot more running -- 100 yards, like sprinting." A season ago, Robinson ranked just 22nd in runs of 20-plus yards (five) despite ranking fourth in rushing attempts (304). If he can consistently add this element to his game and score on long touchdown runs, he could be this year's overall RB1 in fantasy football. Robinson is a clear first-round pick in all formats entering his third NFL campaign.
