More on Gainwell and the RB board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #216 overall, #45 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 131.6 (roughly round 11 in a 12-team league). We rank him #181 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is priced above our projection.
