Gainwell is with the Buccaneers now, and he walks into a more run-heavy offense: they threw on 56 percent of their plays last season, 17th of 32, against 59 percent and 8th for the Steelers. He has not played a game for them, so the club figures below are the Buccaneers' and his own are what he did with the Steelers. Gainwell was 2nd on the Steelers in rushing attempts in 2025, with 114 of the 407 they called in the 17 regular season games he played. He is listed at 5-9 and 191 pounds, shorter than 84 percent of the 197 running backs on a 2026 roster and lighter than 96 percent of them. The 17 defenses on the Buccaneers' 2026 schedule gave up 120.9 rushing yards a game last season; the 17 the Steelers met gave up 120.0.

Pass attempts plus sacks taken, over those plus rushing attempts. A sack is a called pass that never became an attempt, so it counts on the pass side. Kneel-downs sit inside the rushing attempts and cannot be separated out.His carries over his club's, counted across the games he played. Games he missed are in neither total.These are box score totals, not charted by alignment, so there is no split of what a defense gives up to slot receivers, to backs or to any other role. Nothing here claims one.

Record against the posted line, by market

Every market our archive priced him in at least eight times · the line is each book's opening number, median across the books quoting it · a market we priced fewer times is left off rather than shown with a sample too small to mean anything

Over rate excludes pushes and prints the decided count it is taken over. Whole-number markets (receptions, interceptions) push often, so overs divided by games would read several points off. The touchdown market posts no number at all, only a price, so it is graded as scored or not against the price implied by the books before their margin.
