Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell exploded in Week 4's game in Ireland, but fantasy managers should temper expectations moving forward. With Jaylen Warren sidelined against the Minnesota Vikings, Gainwell took full advantage of the opportunity, racking up 134 total yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. With Warren practicing ahead of Week 6, the former Eagles back will return to his RB2 role in the offense. A tough Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns looms large, as Cleveland has allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL through five weeks. Even if he continues to earn touches behind Warren, Gainwell remains a risky fantasy start this week.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jarquez Hunter has yet to play an offensive snap for the Rams this season, but has contributed on special teams in Weeks 3 and 4. However, with both starter Kyren Williams and No. 2 back Blake Corum losing fumbles in a Week 5 loss to the 49ers, there could potentially be an opportunity for Hunter to earn some touches on offense. The rookie out of Auburn has a great athletic and production profile and was raved about by head coach Sean McVay. Hunter is a good name to hold in dynasty leagues, but he has a tough path to relevancy in redraft leagues.
