Who Should I Start? Kyle Juszczyk or Kenneth Gainwell

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk caught a one-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The score, four minutes into the fourth quarter, was the first trip to the end zone by either side and broke what was then a 6-6 tie. Even with the 49ers' injury woes in the first three weeks of the season, Juszczyk's fantasy appeal is nil. He is turned to so infrequently that his fluke touchdowns (the last time he had more than two in a season was 2020) simply aren't worth chasing. Through the first three games of 2025, Juszczyk has four receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell earned 12 opportunities in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns and should remain involved in another divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. With Jaylen Warren handling RB1 duties, Gainwell can't expect a heavy workload, but he could still make some noise for fantasy purposes. Cincinnati has struggled to contain opposing running backs both on the ground and through the air this season, surrendering the most fantasy points per game to the position. Gainwell doesn't need to be rostered in all redraft leagues, but he's a viable flex option in a pinch on Thursday night.
