[Dynasty] Todd Gurley (3 Viewers)

In a ppr. I might trade Julio for gurley. I still have aj.

I'm that sold on him. I think he's worth Julio
Yeah, I think you need to get more than just Gurley if you're dangling Julio. I love both guys, who doesn't, but Julio has the higher ceiling and is the safer play.

 
I had the #2 and #3 pick and the guy at #1 took Gordon because he "wants to win now." This left me with Gurley and Cooper. My new shtick is going to be sending him a weekly report on their fantasy points compared to Gordon's.
Bucky, I was even more lucky, IMO, in my 14-team dyno. I traded for the # 1 in preseason this year, and I had the # 5 pick from a trade last year, so I had 1 & 5 in our rookie draft this year. I got Gurley and Amari. I couldn't believe Amari fell to 5. That was ridiculous.
I might have been even luckier. Late draft Abdullah fever allowed Gurley to fall into my lap at 1.06. Gordon, Abdullah and Cooper went before Gurley. In our mixed dropped veteran/rookie draft did not expect Gurley to fall to me at 1.06. Totally had to shift gears and rethink everything when that happened. The guy I was going to take at 1.06 was still there in the third so I took him then. It was like I got Gurley for free. Looking back I think I won every round of the draft except when I picked kicker.

Sixth for Gurley after Gordon, Abdullah, and Cooper? Wow. That's amazing! Well played.

I've been sold on Gurley since he was a junior in high school about 50 miles from me. Every highlight reel I've ever seen is eye-popping.
I'm high on Gurley and an owner, but if you want to see eye popping HS highlights from another Georgia alum, check out Knowshown Moreno.

 
Here's the September avg mock rankings from DFL.

1. Julio

2. Antonio

3. Dez

4. OBJ

5. Bell

6. Gronk

7. Evans

8. Luck

9. DT

10. AJG

11. Lacy

12. Cobb

13. Jeffery

14. Calvin

15. Cooper

16. Hopkins

17. Hill

18. Cooks

19. TY

20. Gurley

So how far do you move him up now that he's shown some of his magic?

Personally, I think he's near the top 10 now, jumping the likes of Cooks, Hill, Calvin, Jeffery, Cobb, Lacy, DT, and Evans.

 
Gurley has been in my dynasty top 12 for a while now and in my top 2 RBs for a while as well.

Not sure I can move him up much further.

Behind Gronk

 
Julio

Brown

ODB

AJG

Dez

Bell

Evans

Cobb

Gronk

D Thomas

Luck

Hopkins

Cooper

Rodgers

He's in the range right after these guys with Jeffery and Lacy and maybe Watkins and Hilton for me. If he gets used as a 3rd down back in losing gamescript and gets thrown to he gets raised up to Bell/Evans/Cobb territory for me.

The league is fuming. It's a joke. And the commish of league got Gurley and is well known for preying on weak owners and stripping them of young talent and draft picks. I am also really fuming as I am 4-0 in this league and working my ### off on the waiver wire and draft.....and this garbage shows up. I never get trades like this.....I typically have to give up more than that to get a premier blue chip talent at RB in dynasty. This reeks of BS.

Was that Doug Martins first good game since like in forever? Fitz is solid...but 32 years old.

WTF!!!!!!

I consider Gurely an elite talent in the same vein of ADP, Charles, Chris Johnson in his prime territory, long term. He was my clear number 1 RB in this years crop and it was not too close. He is an elite talent. One I have not seen physically since ADP quite frankly.
Damn, sorry dude. That would piss me off beyond belief.
What's even more infuriating is how he and the other clueless owner are justifying it as the other owner wants to win now.

They have Levon Bell and could have paired him up with Gurley.....now she has Bell and Martin......seriously WTF????

Anyway...he is an incredible talent. If he stays healthy he could have a HOF career. That's how good he is.
It is a piss poor trade. :doh:

there's only one RB in there, then Lacy?

So Bell, Lacy then Gurley in the top 3 RB?

You may be right but he's had one game.

That's my PPR Dynasty ranks - should have clarified that.

I'm actually pretty low on him compared to many in dynasty based on the trade offers we hear are being rejected.

My ranking is also based on upside, if he doesn't get 3rd down/passing game catches like I think he should I'll move him down to just above Jeremy Hill range.

Agree wholeheartedly. I would take him over all those guys who sit below Gronk.
 
I had the #2 and #3 pick and the guy at #1 took Gordon because he "wants to win now." This left me with Gurley and Cooper. My new shtick is going to be sending him a weekly report on their fantasy points compared to Gordon's.
Same thing here except I only had the #2 pick. So glad he passed on Gurley..even better is that he's 0-4.
Similar to my situation in a salary cap auction league. Had second pick and manager with #1 pick offered swap for draft cash.. So I could pick Gordon.. This was an obvious *done deal* for this manager, so certain he was that Gordon should be the more coveted player. I said "that's cool. I like Gurley fine in this format" and passed.

No doubt managers everywhere are crying into their pillows if the stories in this thread are any indication.

You've said this a few times but what leads you to believe that he won't get the 3rd down role...is that just because you haven't seen it yet or is there something more? Everything I've read is that Fisher sees him as a 3rd down back, he's a great receiver and good blocker. Again, I made the accord reference but I was somewhat serious...if you're down in a game do you want a schlub like Cunningham catching the ball or a guy who is you get in space can break one from anywhere on the field.

Everything I've read is that they're building their offense around him. Earlier in this thread Bob Magaw posted some good clips on Fisher after the draft just gloating about this kid and how excited he was...they had a press conference to discuss it. In a time where teams aren't drafting RBs early over the past several years for a team to draft him 10th coming off a knee injury speaks volumes. Fisher is a true workhorse back coach and there's nothing I've heard that would indicate that he won't be an AP, Charles, Forte type back that is out there in every role. Now that might not be this week and he may have to work into that role over a bit of time but I just can't see him playing in every role.

Here's a teaser that should make you feel real good as a Gurley dynasty owner.

http://youtu.be/lFNzWEFacTo
St. L has been saying for a long time the see Gurley as a complete back and centerpiece of their offense. There is virtually no reason to think he won't be catching passes as well or playing on 3rd downs. This thread and various others are littered with snippets like this to support it.

The league is fuming. It's a joke. And the commish of league got Gurley and is well known for preying on weak owners and stripping them of young talent and draft picks. I am also really fuming as I am 4-0 in this league and working my ### off on the waiver wire and draft.....and this garbage shows up.

Nothing wrong with that trade at all. So, now we're writing off 1-3 teams? 1-3 owner can rasily be 3-3 in two weeks. Sounds like a lot of bitterowners tbh.

It most certainly is a rape trade in a dynasty league. If it was redraft I would agree with you, but in a dynasty league it IS a rape trade. I sure hope he bought him dinner first, sent flowers, or gave him some Kentucky Jelly first.

Agreed, the trade is terrible.This is in no way an indication of normal market value for Gurley in dynasty IMO. Not even close.

Being an owner in this league, I was furious when this went down. Having looked at the two teams contact info and seeing that they share the same AOL messenger name and one is the commissioner of the league I have serious questions.

Sounds like the commissioner's girlfriend/wife gave Gurley to him for nothing.

Not ok.

Time to find a new league next season.

Gurley fun fact:

Despite Sunday against the Cards being his first game with more than 6 carries (and the damage coming in the fourth quarter), Gurley is improbably tied for the league lead with four 20+ yard runs, with Peterson, Forte and fellow rookie Gordon.

That is either complete circumstantial "because the team was tired or something" noninformation or that means a very bad man is in town.

I don't know which it is but as the guy said, I'm hiding my kids and hiding my wife."

 
Just like to remind everyone how conservative most were, including prognosticators on this site (I was in full agreement) about him this year. Thrilled he's already had the breakout that suits his pedigree.

Not saying he's not the next great thing, but the hype is a bit much after 1 really good, not great game.
It's cool if you have only seen Gurley play 1 or 2 games, but some of us have been excited about him for the last 3 years.

I have Gurley top 4 RB for the rest of the year, talent always wins out. He is simply the best back I've seen since LT. I see a ton usage going forward, the Ram's simply don't have many other offensive options.

No disagreement from me, but Fischer had basically said to not expect Gurley to be very busy this season, maybe not even to play. I'm surprised he's getting into game at this point, but because Fischer preached caution I'm going to assume this isn't a premature move and that Gurley really is healthy. I'm also going to assume that one of the dings on his dynasty outlook was that he might not recover fully, but again, not only did he show skill, but Fischer is ready to play him even more, so the proof appears to be in the pudding. Dynasty, he was always my 1.1 rookie, and combined with Fisher playing him, I think it's an easy call to revise his redraft outlook up high, with a solid vote of confidence in his dynasty value.

You must be taking from a fantasy points perspective because I thought he had a great game. Insane game
Not sure how it gets much better than running for 100+ yards in the 4th qtr on the road vs one of the best teams in the league and salting away the victory with timely first downs in his 2nd career game coming off a major knee injury. Sprout has pretty high standards I'd say.

That wasn't any insane game. I remember Portis having over 200/yds and 5 tds once with the Broncos. Now that's an insane game.
I'm taking about the way he tore up one of the better defense in league on the road and looked sick doing it. Could have had at least one TD that he went to ground on to kill clock.
