3 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell played well in a Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Gainwell easily outplayed starter Miles Sanders and looked like the best runner and pass catcher out of the Eagles backfield. Gainwell ran the ball three times, gaining 31 yards and scoring a touchdown. He was also targeted eight times, catching six passes for 58 yards. He ended up second on the team in targets, and looked explosive with the football in his hands, especially on his seven yard touchdown. With starter Miles Sanders clearly struggling behind a leaky Eagles offensive line (seven carries for 13 yards), it's starting to look like Gainwell's role may start growing into early downs.--David A Marcillo - RotoBaller
