Pass-Catching Role Offers PPR Flex Value in Tampa Bay's Backfield
Kenny Gainwell enters the campaign operating as the primary complementary back behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's offense. While Irving is positioned to handle the bulk of early-down carries, Gainwell remains an integral third-down and passing-game weapon. Our models project him for 125 carries, 450 rushing yards, and 40 receptions on 68 targets, giving him a stable floor in full PPR formats.
Recent training camp highlights showcased his dynamic pass-catching ability, underscoring his value for Baker Mayfield. Fantasy sentiment reflects this situational role, as his start percentage sits around 27% despite high roster rates, showing managers treat him as quality depth.
Market trends show his ADP sliding from pick 96 down to 101. At this discounted cost, our projection of 171.0 fantasy points cements Gainwell as an appealing late-round PPR target with upside should backfield touches expand.

Outlook Parker Washington
Poised for an Expanded Slot Role After Surging Summer Momentum
Coming off a strong 2025 campaign where he posted 63 receptions for 918 yards and six scores, Washington enters 2026 primed for an expanded role in Jacksonville's passing attack. Despite a brief camp absence due to an undisclosed injury, he is expected back at practice promptly and maintains strong chemistry with Trevor Lawrence.
Operating as the starting slot receiver alongside perimeter targets Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers, Washington provides reliable intermediate volume. We project him for 67 catches, 860 receiving yards, and six touchdowns (182.0 PPR points), cementing him as a dependable weekly contributor.
Fantasy drafters have taken notice, driving his ADP up nearly two full rounds over the past month from 85 into the mid-60s. With his roster rate surging to 90%, our projections indicate he remains a justifiable mid-round target rather than an overpriced reach in 1.0 PPR leagues.
