TOP RUNNING BACK ADDS
(33%) Kenneth Gainwell, Pittsburgh Steelers – What if Jaylen Warren didn’t exist? Ok, maybe that’s a bit too harsh existentially, but this is likely the question that has been on the minds of Gainwell owners all season. He has been phenomenal whenever Warren has been unable to play, and it makes one wonder how good his season would be if he somehow had a path to be the RB1. Unfortunately for Gainwell and his owners, Warren might be back this next week, but he is worth the scoop in case Warren isn’t and is an excellent handcuff to have on your bench in general, just in case.
(27%) Sean Tucker, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – We thought Tucker might be a good option since he’s been seeing an increased workload in recent weeks and since Bucky Irving remains sidelined indefinitely. Boy, did that prove to be true. He had 19 carries for over 100 yards and 2 touchdowns, and caught both of his passes for 34 yards and another touchdown. He needs to be owned in all formats in case Bucky doesn’t return soon, and even if he does, they might ease him back into things.
(9%) Emmanuel Wilson, Green Bay Packers – Josh Jacobs sustained an injury this past week, so Wilson was called upon to step up. He got 11 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown. Jacobs is not reportedly dealing with anything serious, but Wilson is a decent option to own in case Jacobs gets injured again.
