NFL
Many of the staff at RotoHeat.com believe that Kenneth Gainwell’s fantasy football profile is positive. He was a productive running back at Memphis both on the ground and through the air in 2019. His game should translate well to the NFL, possibly being a three down running back. After a productive season in 2019, Gainwell decided to opt-out for the 2020 season, so he should have fresh legs entering the NFL Draft. At 5’11” and 194 pounds, Gainwell has the size to be a good asset in the NFL.
