Kenny Gainwell Sneaks into Flex Conversation

Friday, September 11, 1:19 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell is set to make his team debut against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Gainwell will get a plus matchup to start against a Bengals defense that ranked in the bottom 10 this past season. The expectation is that Gainwell will play a similar role to what Rachaad White has done in Tampa Bay in the past. He'll likely be the favorite back in passing situations, but unlike White, Gainwell can be a trusted runner as well. Gainwell saw a career-high 114 rushing attempts this past season and averaged 4.71 YPC. He'll operate as the primary backup to Bucky Irving, but Gainwell should be one of the more trusted backups around the league. For fantasy managers in PPR leagues, Gainwell can be a legit flex option for the season opener against the Bengals.

Quinshon Judkins Inefficient as Lead Back in Week 1

Sunday, September 13, 2:20 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins rushed for 33 yards on 12 carries during Sunday's Week 1 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also caught two passes for an additional 17 receiving yards. This was Jackson's first regular-season action since Week 16 of his rookie season last year. The 22-year-old is quite talented, but he's likely being held back by the suboptimal state of the Browns' offense, led by quarterback Deshaun Watson. As long as this offense continues to struggle sustaining drives and staying on the field, Judkins will remain a mid-to-low RB2 option in fantasy football. His path to production gets only slightly easier next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who just surrendered 78 scrimmage yards and a touchdown to Chase Brown.
