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 Mike Evans
Summer Injury Dip Sets Up Major Draft Day Value in San Francisco
Mike Evans enters his debut campaign in San Francisco slated to start on the perimeter alongside Deebo Samuel Sr. While Christian Kirk opens the year on injured reserve, Evans gives Brock Purdy a proven downfield and red-zone weapon. We project Evans for 75 receptions, 950 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns on 111 targets.
Soft-tissue issues disrupted his August, shifting from quad tightness to an adductor strain that created early caution. However, Evans returned to practice ahead of Week 1 and plans to suit up immediately. At 33 years old, muscle strains remain a concern, but his practice return confirms his starting role.
Drafters reacted sharply to the injury news, causing his ADP to drop from pick 59 in early August down into the 90s by September. That steady tumble makes Evans a compelling draft-day bargain relative to our 195-point projection in full PPR formats.
