Matt Harmon has bumped Kenny Gainwell down his rankings, noting he is primarily a pass-catching role player and is less valuable with the emergence of Bucky Irving.NegativeRoleJul 30, 2026
Boone noted that Kenny Gainwell could limit Bucky Irving's passing game work in the Buccaneers offense, though he still views Irving as the RB1 in Tampa and the round 6 selection as acceptable given the improved offensive line.PositiveRoleNo date
Kenneth Gainwell is positioned as the better fantasy pick in the Buccaneers backfield compared to Bucky Irving. Gainwell offers both pass-catching and rushing upside, with demonstrated ability as a runner for the Steelers (better than Rashad White). He was paid good money by Tampa Bay, signaling organizational confidence. Gainwell's receiving profile makes him valuable in pass-down situations, and he's going at a similar ADP to Basil Tootin. Harmon prefers Gainwell's cost-to-upside ratio over Irving's limited role.
