  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Zero touches in Week 13

    Gainwell finished Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens with zero rushes and zero receptions.

    Gainwell's role has been small all season while stuck behind Saquon Barkley, but this was the first time since Week 15 of his rookie season (2021) that Gainwell went an entire game without touching the ball on offense. While Gainwell only saw the field for seven offensive snaps on Sunday, the fact third-string running back Will Shipley logged a sole play from scrimmage himself seems to corroborate there's no indication of a depth-chart shakeup.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Finally finds end zone

    Gainwell rushed five times for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.

    Gainwell found the end zone on a 13-yard run late in the third quarter to stretch the Eagles' lead to two scores. Otherwise, there wasn't much for him to do in a game in which Saquon Barkley rushed for 255 yards and two more scores. Gainwell has averaged 4.3 carries for 19.9 yards through 11 games this season.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Five touches in Week 11 win

    Gainwell rushed four times for 43 yards and added a six-yard reception in Thursday's 26-18 win over Washington.

    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.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Seven carries in blowout win

    Gainwell rushed seven times for 30 yards and added one catch for nine yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.

    Gainwell saw his second-most touches of the season, trailing only his 14 touches in a Week 7 blowout over the Giants. If the Eagles' hot streak continues, expects some more garbage-time action for Gainwell, but that makes him at best an unreliable source for a small handful of fantasy points.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Just 10 yards on six touches

    Gainwell rushed five times for nine yards and added a one-yard reception in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars.

    Gainwell saw his second-most touches of the season but did very little with them, gaining a total of just 10 yards. He's averaging just 19.8 yards on 4.5 touches per game this season. Saquon Barkley dealt with back tightness during the Week 9 win but did not appear to be meaningfully impacted and is expected to be fine for Week 10 against the Cowboys, so expect Gainwell's role to remain limited.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Five carries in 20-point win

    Gainwell carried five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Bengals.

    Gainwell had just one carry until the second half of the fourth quarter but got a handful of opportunities late after the Eagles had put the game out of reach. The Eagles have won their last two games by a combined 45 points, resulting in Gainwell's two biggest workloads of the year, but don't be surprised if he's limited to two or three touches the next time the team is in a close game.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Racks up yards in garbage time

    Gainwell carried the ball 13 times for 56 yards and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.

    Gainwell's 14 touches for 67 total yards in Week 7 were more than the 11 touches for 62 yards he managed across the first six weeks combined, but don't count on a similar workload going forward. The Eagles were able to rest most of their starters for the entire fourth quarter after getting out to a big lead, but Saquon Barkley should resume taking nearly all of the running back touches next week in Cincinnati, assuming the game stays close.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Slightly larger role in win

    Gainwell set season highs in carries (three) and yards (23) in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

    Gainwell was also targeted once in the passing game but did not finish with a reception. With just 11 total touches in five games this season, his workload remains far too small for him to have much fantasy relevance.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Season-high nine yards

    Gainwell rushed twice for a season-high nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Bucs.

    Gainwell's 24 offensive snaps easily outpaced his previous season high of 14, but he remains a very minor part of the team's gameplan. Gainwell has received exactly two touches in all four games so far, and it would seemingly take an injury to Saquon Barkley for that to change.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: No carries in Week 3

    Gainwell did not carry the ball in Week 3 against the Saints, though he did catch two passes on three targets for 12 yards.

    Gainwell averaged between 3.1 and 5.3 carries per game over his first three seasons as an Eagle, but there's been no room for him in the gameplan since the arrival of Saquon Barkley. While Barkley sits second in the league with 63 carries, Gainwell has rushed just three times all year.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Two carries in Week 2

    Gainwell rushed twice for six yards in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.

    Gainwell was on the field for just seven of the Eagles' 71 offensive snaps Monday while teammate Saquon Barkley handled 64 snaps. The 25-year-old has been an afterthought for much of the first two games with Barkley flashing his impressive playmaking ability so far in 2024. Barring injury, Gainwell should continue to see limited action when the Eagles visit the Saints in Week 3.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Minor role in Week 1

    Gainwell finished Friday's Week 1 win over the Packers with one carry for two yards and one catch for 10 yards.

    Gainwell averaged a career-high 7.1 touches per game last season, but his role is more likely to shrink than grow this year after the Eagles added Saquon Barkley in free agency. It would take an injury to Barkley for Gainwell to earn a fantasy-relevant workload. Gainwell does at least remain the backup to roster for now for those wanting coverage for Barkley, as he played 14 offensive snaps to Will Shipley's four.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Gets start in preseason win

    Gainwell carried the ball four times for 23 yards in Friday's 16-13 preseason win over the Ravens.

    Reporting earlier in the day suggested that Saquon Barkley and the Eagles' first-team offense would get a series at the beginning of the game, but instead Gainwell got the start in the backfield and played the first handful of snaps before giving way to Will Shipley on Philadelphia's second possession. Gainwell's experience in Nick Sirianni's system has him penciled into the No. 2 spot on the running back depth chart behind Barkley, but the team used a fourth-round pick in this year's draft on Shipley, and the rookie found the end zone Friday as he builds a case to take over the top backup job.
