Dunno f it happened this week as well but in earlier games Gurley would rip of a decent run and they would take him off the field for the next play. WTF is that. Last year he would pile up a few decent runs and then BAM a huge run.
Honestly this first statement is insane and can only come from someone not watching the games but looking at the stats alone. The dude has the lowest yards prior to contact of anyone in the league. 1.4yrds! It's a jail break by the D on every running attempt and there is simply no where to run.
There was 1 or 2 games where Dallas did pull Zeke at the GL but it was pretty quickly rectified and only done after Zeke coughed a few up
Exactly! Of this I have no doubt. And this is exactly why Fisher is terrible. Screw rewarding a backup RB, do what's best for the team and put the ball in your franchise RBs hands and let him do work.
14-team non-ppr redraft I have him as my RB1 with literally nothing at RB2 other than Rawls coming back. So have trades out for Dion Lewis and Ryan Mathews. If I get one I'd give serious consideration to starting either over Gurley. Prosise would be a stretch unless Rawls is inactive IMO.
I can't get a team to trade me a cup of coffee for him. I almost wish I could release him to my biggest rival and have him absorb the 7.8 I get every week from this guy.
I'm looking to start Ware/Martin over him in one league. He's playing over Dion Lewis in another.
Probably and this just shows how stupid Fisher is. It's early in the game, your team has MASSIVE problems scoring touchdowns, you've spent the entire week talking about badly you need to get your star running back going and you have the ball about 1-inch from the opponents' end zone so what do you do when you have a golden opportunity to accomplish two of the things your team really needs to accomplish? You give the ball to your backup running back who is not a between-the-tackles power running back option. It's truly amazing Jeff Fisher is still coaching in the NFL. He is seriously awful at this. If you polled 5,000 reasonably intelligent NFL fans I'm pretty confident 100% of them would've given the ball to Gurley in that situation and the Rams would've scored and had a 7-0 lead. Only Fisher allows a Cunningham run and the result is an insanely screwed-up series, no touchdown, a field goal, a 3-0 lead and probably a whole bunch of laughs in St. Louis.
My RB depth is absolute trash. Still couldn't do it.
I tried that in my dynasty league and the ingram guy wouldn't budge, but Gurley is way overpriced salary cap wise for our league. I was offered dirt cheap salries in Crowell and moncrief for Gurley and probably will take
Not in redraft or dynasty. If we are talking s/u RB in redraft just to unload him it would have to be someone with a little unknown upside like Rawls or Lewis. Maybe Booker.
In ppr for sure I could consider. You have to realize Gurley owners are used to 7-9ppg with a 5% chance of TD and now Goff is starting. 2016 is a complete bust. In ppr I'd give serious thought to Lewis and a 50/50 chance that down the stretch he produces like last year vs. a 90% chance of Gurley maintains his mediocrity.
Gurley has been a deep disappointment, but I think you are selling him a bit short. Typical game the last month was about 12 points, which isn't great but reasonable RB2 production, I'm guessing he probably scores roughly 3 TDs the rest of the way. I couldn't imagine selling him for the never having played this year Lewis.
I wouldn't do it Lewis sight unseen, but if he plays this weekend and looks like his old self in limited touches, I would do it all day in PPR.
This is one of those deals that seems okay today but man. Rawls is hurt and Murray is what he is with Henry lurking. You may regret this one as soon a next season.
Won't regret it as much with $300 in my pocket. Weeks 14-16 (playoffs) Murray plays the #28, #27, and #29 run defenses. Yes, Gurley plays the 49ers week 16, but I gotta get there first - and his game AT the Seahawks week 15 is a no go in my mind. Rawls is the wildcard here - and could be a low end #1 or high end #2 type RB next year.
For sure. I'm not even thinking about moving in dynasty. When you consider we have hit the absolute floor and he is a still a startable RB2 that's not so bad. I'm only talking about moving him in redraft.
I can't believe he'll be worse than Keenum. How can you be worse than scoring zero touchdowns in a game? Is it possible to score negative touchdowns?
Agree completely that Fisher is killing him slowly. I just hope Fisher doesn't do that to Goff too (which is likely unfortunately) and set this franchise back a decade.
I would too. Easy to argue against Gurley given the massive stats in favor of Elliott right now but I still believe Gurley is the superior talent. His situation is just abysmal. I'm not ripping on Elliott at all. I love the guy. I just think Gurley is stuck in an absolutely awful situation right now. If he was just in an average spot things would be so much better for him. Just give him a C situation and I think he'd be locked in as a Top 10 fantasy RB. That's it. Just a C situation. That's all he needs.
