Kenneth Gainwell

The Steelers have expressed interest in bringing back RB Kenneth Gainwell.

Fantasy Impact

Gainwell broke out in his first year in Pittsburgh with a role as both a rusher and receiver. It is likely going to remain a committee in the Steelers backfield heading into next season.

Kenneth Gainwell carried the ball five times for 10 yards and a touchdown while catching eight of his nine targets for 64 yards in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

Gainwell was the Steelers' leading receiver in the key win, which gave Pittsburgh the AFC North crown and a spot in the playoffs. Gainwell will look to keep it going next week when the Steelers host the Texans in the Wild-Card round.

Kenneth Gainwell rushed for 26 yards on seven carries in the Steelers 13-6 loss to the Browns. He caught 3-of-4 targets for 12 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Gainwell and the Steelers' offense struggled to get going all game against a solid Browns' defense. He continues to split time with Jaylen Warren, which should continue in a matchup with the Ravens in Week 18 to decide the winner of the AFC North.

Kenneth Gainwell ran for 50 yards on nine carries in the Steelers 29-24 win over the Lions. He also caught 5-of-7 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact

In a miraculous play to end the half, Gainwell made an incredible catch from Aaron Rodgers. He wound up being not touched, got up and ran into the end zone. Jaylen Warren led the way on the ground with a pair of 45-yard touchdown runs in the final quarter. It remains a committee between them in the Steelers backfield.

Kenneth Gainwell capitalized on a compromised backfield partner to deliver his best performance of the season during Monday night's victory over Miami, racking up 126 yards from scrimmage. With starter Jaylen Warren battling an illness, Gainwell took 13 carries for a game-high 80 yards and hauled in all seven of his targets for another 46 yards.

Fantasy Impact

The efficient outing marked just the third time this season Gainwell has reached double-digit carries, but his involvement in the passing game remains a constant. Averaging over four catches per contest, he offers a stable floor for PPR managers heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Lions.
