News: 12 hours agoGainwell rushed four times for seven yards and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders.

Spin: The Eagles leaned on their ground game after Jalen Hurts exited early with a concussion, but that didn't mean more action for Gainwell. Saquon Barkley carried the ball a season-high 29 times, but Gainwell played just 13 offensive snaps, lower than his season average of 16.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Gainwell has averaged nearly 300 rushing yards and 30 receptions over his first three seasons, but it hasn't added up to much fantasy relevance. The Eagles simply haven't thrown much to their running backs in the Jalen Hurts era, though that may change with the Saquon Barkley acquisition. A healthy Barkley did not share much volume as a Giant, so Gainwell -- more of a change-of-pace option due to his smaller stature -- may find it difficult to hit his season averages, unless Barkley is hurt again. The drafting of Will Shipley is another sign that, even if Barkley goes down, Gainwell may not be next, so consider him in the later rounds, if at all.
