Kenneth Gainwell is only a bench stash at this point. In Week 1, he played 45.6% of the snaps with only six touches and 18 total yards. Gainwell had only a 33.3% route share and a 3.6% target share in Week 1. Until his playing time increases, he's only a handcuff.

Kenny Gainwell uninvolved Sunday

Kenny Gainwell ran for 15 yards on five carries in the Buccaneers 33-27 loss against the Bengals on Sunday. He also caught his line target for three yards receiving.

Fantasy Impact

This felt like the perfect time for Gainwell to make an impact with Tampa Bay falling behind 21-3 early, but it was Bucky Irving in the passing game out of the backfield who caught seven passes. Gainwell is a risky flex play for now in PPR leagues until we see him more involved.
