News: 7 days agoGainwell rushed four times for 43 yards and added a six-yard reception in Thursday's 26-18 win over Washington.

Spin: Gainwell has averaged 4.9 touches per game this season, with a total of 42 rushes and seven receptions through 10 games, so his workload Thursday was fairly typical. He tends to see more work if the Eagles can cruise through the fourth quarter with a comfortable lead, as has been the case in multiple games this season, but in close contests, his workload is typical for a backup.

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.
