Dud 2: Kenneth Gainwell

Both Philadelphia running backs nearly made this list after struggling to produce for most of the team's Week 5. However, D'Andre Swift picked it up in the fourth quarter to help the Eagles put the Rams away. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Kenneth Gainwell.

The third-year RB was ineffective once again for the Eagles, tallying just 17 yards on seven attempts. Nick Sirianni even gave his incumbent running back some work in the red zone late in the contest, but he didn't come up with anything to show for it.

With fellow RB Rashaad Penny sidelined due to illness, and Swift not doing much in the first half, Gainwell had a chance to regain some trust from the coaching staff. Instead he failed to take advantage of the opportunity and put up his second straight game with under 20 rushing yards, which only cements Swift's claim as the clear best running back on the team right now.
