Gainwell gets 25 carries in run-heavy Bucs offense; matchup-dependent flex play.

Gainwell romped over the Falcons with 25 carries and 140 yards as the Buccaneers have developed a smashmouth running identity behind a good offensive line; while he likely won't continue to get 10 carries per game, he will factor heavily into discussions when the Buccaneers can run. The Falcons were 13th in run defense DVOA entering Sunday, and Gainwell's situation is comparable to Kyle Monangai's—a matchup-dependent flex option that belongs on rosters.
