Kenneth Gainwell is expected to have a bigger role in the Eagles’ offense, but Miles Sanders is still perceived as the lead back. HC Nick Sirianni was quoted saying “Miles is our guy, and we like to rotate our backs.”
Fantasy Impact: Gainwell will be a part of a very promising rushing attack in Philadelphia. If it is a true “three-headed monster” for the Eagles this season, it would be hard for Gainwell, or any Eagle’s back, to carry too much fantasy value. Sanders is slated to be a free agent after this season though, so perhaps Gainwell will be used more and more in the hopes of him being “the guy” in future seasons. As it stands, Gainwell is best kept deep on benches, with a slightly higher ceiling in dynasty with the long-term usage upside he holds.
