RB TB
Week 5 · PPR
Start or sit Kenny Gainwell?
The verdict comes from our weekly projection model: last season's opportunity-based xFP/g shrunk toward the position mean, then adjusted for role, injury status, the opponent's fantasy points allowed and the Vegas game total vs the league average.
Borderline
#30 RB projection — on the borderline of the ~28 started in 12-team leagues.
Borderline call: Kenny Gainwell projects for 7.7 PPR points this week, ranked #30 among RBs by our projection model. @DAL is a soft matchup for RBs — the model applies a +9% swing to his projection. Vegas posts the total at 52.5 — 111% of the 47.2 league average for week 5.
