Kenneth Gainwell dominated the running back opportunities in the Eagles’ week one matchup against the Patriots. After a Summer of speculation debating who would be the starter between Rashaad Penny and D’Andre Swift, Gainwell surprisingly received a 62-percent snap share and 18 touches. He suffered a rib injury though and won’t be able to suit up tomorrow night against the Minnesota Vikings.

As a result, the Eagles will be left with Swift, Boston Scott, and Rashaad Penny (who did not suit up in week one) to carry the workload on a short week. Swift received the most snaps after Gainwell and will undoubtedly factor in on passing downs. However, all three will likely be active in what will be a running back by-committee approach until Gainwell returns. These running backs will not be startable in week two matchups outside of deeper leagues. Even then Swift is nothing more than a borderline RB3.
