Should I drop Kenny Gainwell for Roschon Johnson?

THE DROP / ADD CALL

Lean: keep Kenny Gainwell

Kenny Gainwell retains a 40.5 FP remaining-schedule advantage. The current-week projection also gives no clear reason to make this drop. Check for a lower-cost roster spot if you need coverage. These are player forecast totals, not extra starter points or playoff-odds gains for your team. Kenny Gainwell is questionable; an injury designation alone is not a reason to drop him.
