Kitrick Taylor Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Here's the asking price for Gurley in one of my Dynasty leagues for those seeing what people are doing.I've been talking to the Gurley owner in my dynasty about another player and as a joke I said I'll give you Jeremy Hill/Gio Bernard/2nd for Gurley. He said no as expected then I got the itch and really wanted him. I proposed all these offers which all were declined. I thought a couple of these was such overpayment that although he hated the idea of dealing Gurley he wouldn't be able to say no but he did which is fine by me. DeMarco/Demaryius/1st rd pick/TWO 2nd Rd Picks for Gurley/NYG/CrosbyArian/DeMarco/Demaryius/1st rd pick/TWO 2nd Rd Picks for Gurley/NYG/CrosbyDeMarco/Martavis/1st Rd Pick/2nd Rd Pick for Gurley/NYGDeMarco/Martavis/Demaryius/2nd Rd Pick for Gurley/NYG/Jordan ReedI like DT as much as anybody. Aint happening. I don't want to beat up the rest of your offers, but DT is top 10-15 player at this point in dynasty. His QB is no good right now, and it may get worse. IMO Gurley is the #1 fantasy player. If you were to offer Bell or Freeman, well that's another story. I think Beckham could be intriguing to somebody that prefers WRs. Although I think its Beckham + a first at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Rider Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Redraft question: what do you think Gurley's ADP will be next year? Of course, so much depends on how this season ends, injuries and whatnot, but right now, I have to think that Gurley will be a top 5 pick next year.

Of course, so much depends on how this season ends, injuries and whatnot, but right now, I have to think that Gurley will be a top 5 pick next year. Top 3 for me and it could end up being a coin flip between him and Bell at No. 1 depending on whether Gurley has a quality role in the passing game. If he does then I think the debate between him and Bell will get real interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps up close to this pace likely top 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Magaw Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Boom. 71 yd TD run.He's a monster.Reminiscent of Jim Brown, Dickerson and Peterson.Big, thick, powerful backs with elite speed/athleticism that ran away from smaller defenders in the open field with rare angle-destroying jets.No matter how good many thought he was, production is the ultimate acid test, and he keeps proving it and separating himself on a regular basis every week. He might already be the best RB in the league (looks like Bell went down and grabbed his knee, hope he is OK). As good as Cooper is, he is running away with the Rookie of the Year if he sustains the torrid, incendiary first four game pace.He hasn't played long, but at this rate, he probably deserves to be in the top 10 in the 2016 iteration of NFLs Top 100 Players. He is special, with the elite talent to carry the Rams on his shoulders and almost singlehandedly (they also have a potentially great defense) elevate the beleaguered and chronically inept franchise into the playoffs for the first time in a decade plus.* Still just the first half. As predicted, his speed should increase as he rounds into form. RBs aren't supposed to be that fast for their size, and no matter how it looks on the film, it is always shocking to defenders live and on the field, very hard to simulate and prepare for a dude like Gurley in practice, putting them at a fundamental, inherent disadvantage.

Bob Magaw Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Gurley may not be as game script-dependent as initially feared by some, IF the game script is, win with Gurley. Record BG (Before Gurley) 1-2Record AG (After Gurley) 3-1* Admittedly the schedule was tougher in the first third of the season, and eased up in the middle third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of those kind of arguments either, but you guys can't tell me you were watching the box score before that run and were super excited about his game. I know I wasn't. 19 carries for 62 yards against a terrible defense isn't exactly what I was expecting. TL:DR I'm hoping this kid isn't big play dependent.
