Who Should I Start? Myles Gaskin or Kenneth Gainwell

Monday, November 13, 12:48 PM

The Minnesota Vikings signed running back Myles Gaskin back to their practice squad on Monday after the Los Angeles Rams had signed him away, according to a source. Gaskin has been on an active NFL 53-man roster twice this year -- once with Minnesota and once with the Rams -- but he hasn't gotten on the field at all in 2023. His return to Minnesota coincides with Alexander Mattison suffering a concussion in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints. The Vikings could use the extra RB depth with Mattison's availability now in question for the Week 11 game on Sunday night against the Denver Broncos firmly in question. Ty Chandler could serve as the lead back in Week 11 if Mattison isn't cleared, and the Vikes also have Kene Nwangwu available to take on a bigger role if needed.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell took seven carries for 62 yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 10-27 loss to the New York Giants. D'Andre Swift (illness) was ruled out early on Sunday, leaving the 24-year-old as the starter for the final game of the regular season. Gainwell looked good early but was not given the ball much after the team fell behind. The Eagle's offense was in disarray, with all of their top skills players injured either before or during the game, leading to a disappointing performance for everyone involved. Swift should be good to go next week when the Eagles travel to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers, leaving Gainwell off most managers' fantasy radars in DFS and tournaments.
