The Pittsburgh Steelers will visit the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Kenneth Gainwell.
Is Kenneth Gainwell Playing in Week 14?
Gainwell is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Gainwell in Week 14?
In a different offense, the Gainwell role would have my interest, but I enter most weeks assuming that it’ll be an absolute slog to get the Steelers to 20 points, and that’s not the environment for a secondary RB.
He was on the field for 41.9% of their offensive snaps against the Bills last week and split the red zone work with Jaylen Warren. Gainwell is a strong handcuff and has a role in this offense, but not one that lands him on our radar in anything but a great matchup.
The opposing RB1 has failed to reach his season average in three of the past five Ravens games, making this a very tough sell to trust Gainwell in the RB2 role.
