Eagles Beat: Team continues to use RB Kenneth Gainwell

Oct 04, 2021

Nick Sirianni continues to play Kenneth Gainwell, and he continues to produce. Gainwell posted 89 yards from scrimmage after finishing with three carries for 31 yards and a score while catching six passes for 58 yards.

Related players: Miles Sanders, Boston Scott

Fantasy Impact:

He finished with the most receiving yards for an Eagles rookie running back since Scott in Week 17 of the 2019 season (84 yards). And speaking of Scott, it's been obvious Gainwell has passed Scott on the depth chart. As the story said, the Eagles have done an excellent job incorporating Gainwell into their offense, pretty much becoming the team's third-down back.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
