Plummeting Draft Cost Unlocks Sneaky PPR Value in Tampa Bay
Operating as the secondary back behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's offense, Kenny Gainwell enters the year primed for passing-down work. Training camp highlights showcased his dynamic agility in space, reaffirming his value as a reliable target for Baker Mayfield. While Irving handles early downs, Gainwell's receiving role secures standalone PPR value.
Our models project Gainwell for 485 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 135 carries, alongside 40 receptions for 325 yards and two scores. Totaling 171.0 fantasy points, his usage guarantees a steady floor. With a 94% roster rate but just an 18% start rate, managers are wisely treating him as a high-upside bench stash.
Market sentiment has cratered over the past month, with his ADP sliding four full rounds from pick 100 down to 143. That steep decline turns Gainwell into a prime late-round bargain. At this deflated cost, he is an efficient pass-catching dart throw whose draft-day value easily outpaces current market panic.

Outlook Woody Marks
Second-Year Back Offers High-End Contingency Value in Houston
Woody Marks enters his second campaign operating as the primary backup behind David Montgomery in Houston's backfield. After handling 212 carries in 2025, our projections anticipate a downsized workload of 140 rushing attempts for 585 yards and three scores on the ground as he settles into a complementary committee role.
Despite the projected step back in carries, head coach DeMeco Ryans praised Marks' offseason growth, and the runner flashed his physical finishing ability during preseason action. His summer focus on expanding his route tree could unlock reliable third-down opportunities, aligning with our projection of 25 receptions.
Fantasy managers have grown wary, sending his draft cost tumbling from near pick 130 in early August down past pick 174 in early September. That slide makes Marks an affordable late-round bench stash in PPR formats rather than an overvalued reach, offering immense contingent value if injuries strike.
