gcmmidwest 147 Posted December 3 No ...gainwell is a smallish change of pace catching back ....would not be able to handle a full work load... He would remain in the same role with Shipley taking over duties 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He would remain in the same role with Shipley taking over duties with a name like Gainwell, how could you not think he couldnt Gain Well once he is listed as the starter (ok bad pun I will admit to it) I do think he can handle a full workload (he has in the past) whether he can do it over the course of a full season may be another matter. but if he were to become the starter tomorrow, He would be just fine up til the end of the year. Obviously he wouldnt put up Sequon type numbers, but I bet he could get 80 yards a game fairly consistently if the role was thrust onto his shoulders. the Philly O line blocks quite well and Gainwell is good enough to be productive there. Just not Sequon productive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just not Sequon productive In ppr where would you rank him overall? High or low RB2? High or low RB3? Dumpoffs in this offense could elevate his value.

Just not Sequon productive Disagree. What full work load has he handled in the past? He’s had three games for in which he handled the most rushing att, he had 14 in those three games, he avg 3.4 per rush. I think Shipley might be in line for work like posted above, but I don’t see where Gainwell has established himself as the clear full load next up rb on the Eagles. Plus if Barkley goes down, Hurts rushing tds will increase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well here's my team: Hurts, Purdy (just picked him up to keep away from competition) Barkley, Walker, Charbonnet, Aaron Jones, McNichols St.Brown, Tyreek, Meyers, DeVonta Smith Kelce Been streaming Ds ---Houston, Bengals for week 14 Other high end cuffs available are Corum, Davis When Ekeler was concussed I picked up McNichols.

Very good team, congrats, I would keep it intact. I wouldn’t release any of your WRs, this time of the season keep two QBs isn’t a bad decision. From what I’ve been seeing about Ekeler, he might not be returning soon, and BRob has had his fair share of injuries. I think you should keep what you have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If A Jones goes down , who’s up next, it could be Chandler possibly over Akers, What I like about keeping McNichols, is that Ekeler might not be returning soon, and BRob hasn’t been able to stay healthy, I would keep McNichols imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gainwell will not be used the same way that Barkley is and Shipley's role would increase. Shipley might even be the guy that gets more touches, not Gainwell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
