Summary

Kenneth Gainwell flashed at times during his rookie season but couldn't break out of a complementary role. He only played 27% of offensive snaps, and was on the field less than 40% of the time in all but two games. The good news is Gainwell touched the ball 101 times and scored six touchdowns. With the rookie jitters behind him, don't be surprised if he becomes more of a 1b to Sanders' 1a this season.
