From the article

Gainwell has been nearly as productive with 14 carries for 88 yards last week and 25 attempts for 140 yards in this game. Despite limited touches early in the season, this is a nice reminder that Gainwell can be dangerous when called upon. The Bucs are another backfield with a top-10 fantasy schedule the rest of the way. So, consider Gainwell a fantasy RB3 with a much higher ceiling if Irving were ever to miss time.

Positive signalRole

Gainwell productive when used (25 attempts, 140 yards); Bucs' top-10 RB schedule.

Gainwell posted 14 carries for 88 yards in Week 8 and 25 attempts for 140 yards in a previous game, demonstrating he can be dangerous when called upon despite limited touches early in the season. The source notes the Buccaneers' recent commitment to the run game (Bucky Irving posting career-best stats) and suggests it makes sense for Tampa to lean on the ground game. The Bucs have a top-10 fantasy schedule the rest of the way, making Gainwell a fantasy RB3 with a much higher ceiling if Irving were to miss time.
