Outlook Kenny Gainwell
Kenny Gainwell at Dallas — Passing-Down Role Offers Deep Flex Appeal
Gainwell continues to serve as the change-of-pace option behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's backfield, handling limited carries while contributing primarily through the air. Over his last three games, he has caught seven passes and scored a receiving touchdown in Week 4. Facing Dallas as heavy road underdogs, the winless Buccaneers may be forced into a negative game script that leans on Gainwell's receiving chops.
Fantasy managers have grown cautious, with his start rate dropping to 10% as his weekly touch floor remains narrow. Our models project Gainwell for approximately 25 rushing yards on six carries alongside two catches for 16 yards (7.9 fantasy points). Unless he finds the end zone again, his low rushing volume makes him a risky flex option best reserved for deeper PPR formats.

Outlook Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy vs. Buccaneers — Primary Slot Role Brings Deep-League Appeal
Flournoy enters Week 5 healthy and operating as Dallas' primary slot receiver alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Earlier in the season, he solidified his hold on the WR3 role, and his involvement has remained steady with 13 targets over his last two games. Facing a winless Tampa Bay team in a potentially high-scoring home matchup, Flournoy should maintain consistent slot snaps.
Rostered in just 8% of fantasy leagues, Flournoy remains a low-floor option. Our weekly projection forecasts about 3 catches for 37 yards on roughly 6 targets (8.0 fantasy points). Given that Lamb and Pickens command the primary target volume in Dallas' passing attack, Flournoy is best treated as a deep-league flier who relies on finding the end zone.
