Were we duped this week?
I consider this week a victory. He came in, ran hard, took a couple hits, made some cuts and has no ill effects. I imagine the workload increases from here at a slow pace. I'm waiting until the breakout to start him. I'm ok missing out on his first great week of production if it keeps me from losing every week I start him and it doesn't happen.

Circling week 7 after the bye at home against Cleveland. That's when he gets unleashed.

I am really going to enjoy watching this young man ascend to the bell cow role. Here is a short interview where he talks about his first week. Enjoy Gurley owners. You deserve it!

My RBs are made up of Carlos Hyde, Joique Bell, Christine Michael, Knile Davis, Tre Mason, and Big Toddy.
I have no choice but to put him in. I only need to start two of these guys, so whatever, but I need his role to pick up quickly.

At this point I'm just hoping he shows enough on Sunday so that I can start him in Week 5.

Was there something interesting in there? I tapped out after two minutes.georg013 said:

How so? Pead has been a non-factor for Gurley all along no?

Good for you. We are all pulling for your team and specific circumstance, and applaud your exceptional foresight.

Time to take the training wheels off

Pead obviously wasn't a threat to Gurley, but it could mean that the team doesn't feel as much of a need to carry RB depth as Gurley gets healthier. It could mean nothing at all as well though of course.

Fisher on Todd Gurley continued: "I think he played 14 snaps. I would expect him to play a lot more this week."

I have absolutely no idea what to think will happen here this week. I think Gurley should get upwards of 15 or so touches given how badly the offense needs him but whether Fisher will give him that type of role is the question.

On the road against Arizona, probably getting around 10-12 carries, I wouldn´t start him....yet.

I'd start him. Im betting 15 touches.

It depends largely on the options you have, but yeah this isn't looking like a great matchup. I'll probably start him in 1 of 3 leagues.
Right on, it's all about the options. Typically with any unproven player or player returning from injury I like to take the approach of making them earn their way into my lineup, meaning I need to see something first.
Almost every league I have him I would never consider starting him but I got one team with very limited options so I'm thinking of rolling him out. I tend to agree with the low ceiling/low floor comments but I also think he gets his touches doubled from last week and I'd be willing to bet if they get down to a goal line situation he's going to be the guy at RB.

Going VJax over him. If I knew for sure he was getting around 15 touches I'd start him. But after last week and with no real news about his role this week I think the risk is too great.
