In 2025, Kenneth Gainwell started the season as an afterthought to Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh, but ended up as a league-winner because of his strong rushing style and his uncanny work in the passing game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Gainwell's late ADP (pick 100+) undervalues his PPR upside with Mayfield and new contract.

Gainwell was a league-winner in 2025 despite starting as an afterthought to Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh, finishing with 73 receptions for 486 yards on a mediocre offense. Now with Baker Mayfield as his quarterback and a new two-year, $14 million contract, Gainwell is still going after pick 100 in drafts but could explode with numbers beyond 2025 while also rushing for 600+ yards. In PPR formats, he deserves to be a clear top-100 player but is often drafted as a bench piece.
