Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Modest numbers in Week 18
Gainwell carried the ball 11 times for 14 yards and caught two of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.
Getting the start in place of a resting Saquon Barkley, Gainwell led the Eagles in totes but got thoroughly outplayed by rookie Will Shipley, who turned 14 touches into 67 yards. Barkley will be back in his workhorse role when the Eagles host the Packers in the wild-card round next weekend, but Gainwell's experience in the offense should allow him to retain the No. 2 role in the backfield. The fourth-year RB wraps up the 2024 regular season with a modest 406 scrimmage yards and just one TD over 17 appearances.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Appears headed for Week 18 start
Gainwell took reps with the first-team offense during pregame drills and appears in line to start Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
With the Eagles having locked up the NFC's No. 2 seed, normal lead back Saquon Barkley will be resting in the regular-season finale, leaving Gainwell and Will Shipley as the team's available backfield options after Philadelphia elected not to elevate Tyrion Davis-Price from the practice squad for the second week in a row. Though he has worked as Barkley's top backup all season, Gainwell probably won't be tasked with handling a three-down workload, as the Eagles presumably want Gainwell to escape Week 18 healthy so that he can reprise his usual change-of-pace role in the wild-card round. With that in mind, it wouldn't be surprising if Shipley ends up seeing the larger share of snaps, though both he and Gainwell could struggle to produce with their opportunities while playing behind an offensive line mostly consisting of reserve players.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Limited looks in blowout win
Gainwell finished with three carries for four yards and one catch for five yards in Sunday's 41-7 blowout win over the Cowboys.
While Gainwell has strictly been a backup running back this season, the Eagles' six wins by 14 or more points this season have offered him the opportunity to rack up a meaningful amount of yardage in garbage time. That wasn't the case in Week 17, as starter Saquon Barkley carried the ball 31 times while Gainwell saw the same amount of carries as Tyrion Davis-Price, who was elevated from the practice squad to see his first game action of the year. Gainwell could see more action in Week 18 if the Eagles rest their starters with the No. 2 seed locked up.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Minor role in loss to Commanders
Gainwell rushed four times for seven yards and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders.
The Eagles leaned on their ground game after Jalen Hurts exited early with a concussion, but that didn't mean more action for Gainwell. Saquon Barkley carried the ball a season-high 29 times, but Gainwell played just 13 offensive snaps, lower than his season average of 16.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: 60 total yards against Steelers
Gainwell rushed seven times for 20 yards and caught three passes for 40 yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers.
Saquon Barkley was banged up for part of the game, missing the entire second quarter before returning to action, which allowed Gainwell to see a season-high 31 offensive snaps. The result was Gainwell's second-highest yardage total of the season, though he failed to find the end zone with any of his 10 touches. He's scored just one touchdown all year.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Five touches against Carolina
Gainwell rushed three times for 26 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.
After failing to record a single rush or target in Week 13, Gainwell saw five opportunities against the Panthers in Week 14. Unfortunately, the veteran running back was unable to get much going in his limited role behind Saquon Barkley. Gainwell played 24 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps in the contest, and he has now hit at least a 30 percent snap share since Week 10. With Barkley rolling, the 25-year-old Gainwell remains nothing more than a solid insurance policy heading into the fantasy playoffs. The Eagles will host the Steelers in Week 15.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Zero touches in Week 13
Gainwell finished Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens with zero rushes and zero receptions.
Gainwell's role has been small all season while stuck behind Saquon Barkley, but this was the first time since Week 15 of his rookie season (2021) that Gainwell went an entire game without touching the ball on offense. While Gainwell only saw the field for seven offensive snaps on Sunday, the fact third-string running back Will Shipley logged a sole play from scrimmage himself seems to corroborate there's no indication of a depth-chart shakeup.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Finally finds end zone
Gainwell rushed five times for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Gainwell found the end zone on a 13-yard run late in the third quarter to stretch the Eagles' lead to two scores. Otherwise, there wasn't much for him to do in a game in which Saquon Barkley rushed for 255 yards and two more scores. Gainwell has averaged 4.3 carries for 19.9 yards through 11 games this season.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Five touches in Week 11 win
Gainwell rushed four times for 43 yards and added a six-yard reception in Thursday's 26-18 win over Washington.
Gainwell has averaged 4.9 touches per game this season, with a total of 42 rushes and seven receptions through 10 games, so his workload Thursday was fairly typical. He tends to see more work if the Eagles can cruise through the fourth quarter with a comfortable lead, as has been the case in multiple games this season, but in close contests, his workload is typical for a backup.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Seven carries in blowout win
Gainwell rushed seven times for 30 yards and added one catch for nine yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.
Gainwell saw his second-most touches of the season, trailing only his 14 touches in a Week 7 blowout over the Giants. If the Eagles' hot streak continues, expects some more garbage-time action for Gainwell, but that makes him at best an unreliable source for a small handful of fantasy points.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Just 10 yards on six touches
Gainwell rushed five times for nine yards and added a one-yard reception in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars.
Gainwell saw his second-most touches of the season but did very little with them, gaining a total of just 10 yards. He's averaging just 19.8 yards on 4.5 touches per game this season. Saquon Barkley dealt with back tightness during the Week 9 win but did not appear to be meaningfully impacted and is expected to be fine for Week 10 against the Cowboys, so expect Gainwell's role to remain limited.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Five carries in 20-point win
Gainwell carried five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Bengals.
Gainwell had just one carry until the second half of the fourth quarter but got a handful of opportunities late after the Eagles had put the game out of reach. The Eagles have won their last two games by a combined 45 points, resulting in Gainwell's two biggest workloads of the year, but don't be surprised if he's limited to two or three touches the next time the team is in a close game.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Racks up yards in garbage time
Gainwell carried the ball 13 times for 56 yards and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.
Gainwell's 14 touches for 67 total yards in Week 7 were more than the 11 touches for 62 yards he managed across the first six weeks combined, but don't count on a similar workload going forward. The Eagles were able to rest most of their starters for the entire fourth quarter after getting out to a big lead, but Saquon Barkley should resume taking nearly all of the running back touches next week in Cincinnati, assuming the game stays close.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Slightly larger role in win
Gainwell set season highs in carries (three) and yards (23) in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.
Gainwell was also targeted once in the passing game but did not finish with a reception. With just 11 total touches in five games this season, his workload remains far too small for him to have much fantasy relevance.

Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Season-high nine yards
Gainwell rushed twice for a season-high nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Bucs.
Gainwell's 24 offensive snaps easily outpaced his previous season high of 14, but he remains a very minor part of the team's gameplan. Gainwell has received exactly two touches in all four games so far, and it would seemingly take an injury to Saquon Barkley for that to change.
