Who Should I Start? Lamical Perine or Kenneth Gainwell

Tuesday, September 10, 9:10 PM

Green Bay Packers running back La'Mical Perine has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Perine joined the Packers a few weeks ago after getting cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of August. Perine was on the Packers practice squad, but they needed to move him in order to make room for tight end Johnny Lumpkin. Through three seasons, Perine has 340 rushing yards and two touchdowns between the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere as a depth option.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell will not be in play when his team squares off against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. The 25-year-old has settled into a nice role this season, backing up his superstar teammate Saquon Barkley. Since Week 7, Gainwell is averaging 6.8 rush attempts, 31.4 yards on the ground, and one target in his appearances. He's been a solid change-of-pace option for the Eagles but holds little standalone value for fantasy managers outside of his obvious handcuff appeal. While his snap-share is decent, he has yet to score double-digit fantasy points or a touchdown in 2024. For now, he can be stashed in case Barkley is forced to miss time but is better off being left out of fantasy lineups. Gainwell is RotoBaller's PPR RB43 in this week's ranks.
