Who Should I Start? Kenneth Gainwell or Bijan Robinson

Wednesday, November 19, 10:07 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell has emerged as a reliable backup running back this season. Through 10 games, he's totaled 448 yards and five touchdowns on 97 touches. He's been strong in the two games where starter Jaylen Warren either missed or exited early, racking up 239 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 41 touches. With Warren still banged up and an ideal Week 12 matchup on deck against the Chicago Bears, Gainwell could be in line for another heavy workload. Given how efficient he's been both in his backup role and starting role, fantasy managers should view Gainwell as one of the top handcuff running backs to target moving forward.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson seemed unstoppable during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson saw a heavy workload as he rushed the ball 23 times for 104 yards and scored two touchdowns in the overtime loss. Robinson scored a one-yard and a four-yard touchdown, so not flashy plays, but he got the job done. He also hauled in four of his five targets for an additional 39 yards through the air. Robinson had a few sluggish weeks, but he is back to giving fantasy managers elite value. He'll head into a plus-matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 12.
