Why It Matters: After rushing for 228 yards combined in the preceding two games, Gainwell fell back to Earth on Sunday night with just 16 yards on five carries -- production far more in line with what he did over the Bucs' first six games of 2026. He chipped in with a season-high 60 yards through the air, however, again displaying the dual-threat ability he showed in Pittsburgh. While he's no threat to Bucky Irving, Gainwell is doing enough of late to be an RB3/flex candidate.
