Pass-Catching Role Secures Dependable PPR Value in Buccaneers Backfield

Operating behind Bucky Irving on the Buccaneers' depth chart, Kenny Gainwell profiles as a key rotational back and primary pass-catching specialist. Our season projections forecast 125 carries for 425 yards and 4 touchdowns on the ground, paired with 40 receptions for 325 yards and 2 scores on 68 targets.

Draft market sentiment has cooled slightly over the summer, with his ADP sliding from pick 96 in mid-July to around pick 102 in August. However, with our models projecting 171.0 total PPR points, this dip turns him into an enticing late-round value for managers seeking reliable weekly pass-game floor.

Rostered in 88% of leagues, fantasy managers primarily view Gainwell as quality backfield depth. While his modest starting rate reflects his complementary role, his pass-catching skills and splash play potential shown in training camp make him a viable PPR flex consideration with weekly upside.

Outlook Terry McLaurin

Primed for a Resurgence as Washington's Established Top Target

Terry McLaurin enters the season fully healthy and mentally refreshed after an injury-shortened 2025 campaign. With full offseason participation under head coach Dan Quinn, McLaurin has solidified his status as the primary perimeter weapon for quarterback Jayden Daniels, maintaining his leading role atop Washington's wide receiver corps alongside veteran newcomer Stefon Diggs.

Our projections forecast a productive bounce-back year for the veteran wideout, anticipating 77 receptions for 980 yards and eight touchdowns on 112 targets. After finding the end zone 13 times in 2024, McLaurin's proven red-zone efficiency and consistent route-running give him a dependable weekly volume floor in this evolving offense.

In fantasy drafts, McLaurin’s ADP has remained stubbornly stable at pick 52 throughout the summer. Fantasy managers are pricing him as a mid-tier WR2 in full PPR formats. At that flat market cost, our models view McLaurin as an excellent draft-day value who offers reliable top-24 production with established upside.
