[Dynasty] Todd Gurley

[Kitrick Taylor 196]

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/Crosby

Arian/DeMarco/Demaryius/1st rd pick/TWO 2nd Rd Picks for Gurley/NYG/Crosby

DeMarco/Martavis/1st Rd Pick/2nd Rd Pick for Gurley/NYG

DeMarco/Martavis/Demaryius/2nd Rd Pick for Gurley/NYG/Jordan Reed

I 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.

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.

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.

[Pip's Invitation 6,829]

Top 3 picks likely to be Bell, Gurley and Freeman in some order.

Top 5 is looking like the worst case scenario. If he keeps up close to this pace likely top 2.

Excerpt - "Gurley leads the NFL with 213 yards in the fourth quarter and is the only player with three runs of at least 45 yards, one in each of the last three games. Last Sunday, Gurley gained an astounding 97 yards after contact. He runs through arm tackles as if they're turnstiles."​

[Bob Magaw 2,525]

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.

Todd Gurley now up to 15 FPTS, that's 4 G in a row with that many. He and Alfred Morris only rookie RBs w/such a streak since 2001.

Having the best player at the most shallow position is so overrated, Tex.

I mean, really, how many young, stud, bellcow backs are there these days? 2? 1 now that Bell is likely out?

What you REALLY need is a stud WR because there are 10-15 of those.

Get with the times, man!

After watching Gurley over again on that long TD run looking like he was shot out of a 50 cal., I'm a little emotional.

[CR69 1,470]

Nice to see him used in the passing game this week

[ConnSKINS26 5,717]

I love seeing a hyped stud RB prospect live up to his billing. Hasn't happened since Peterson.

[Bob Magaw 2,525]

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) 1-2

Record AG (After Gurley) 3-1

* Admittedly the schedule was tougher in the first third of the season, and eased up in the middle third.

[Biabreakable 5,146]

Christ before Gurley and after Gurley?

Epic.

Yes, even in a 16-team ppr where you have to start 3 receivers.

I think the only one-for-one swaps you can consider for him are Bell (assuming the knee isn't bad) and Gronk. Everyone else would just be giving away positional advantage.

debatable

In this league I have seen a switch where the best RB seems to not be enough for a top WR or TE

Evident by being turned down this week 4 times by 3 owners

All 4 of you made a bad decision.

Learn from yours.

eta, This is the last time I'm going to try to talk some sense into you.

It's on you when you trade the man among boys for a dime-a-dozen #1 WR.

Whoa. I love Gurley as much as the next guy, but let;s not go putting him in the same sentence as Alfred Morris yet.

[Sebowski 3,974]

Take away that 71 yard run and it wasn't a very good day. 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.

[Capella 30,578]

My league went ahead and counted the 71 yard run.

Take away his legs, and he'd have to run on his hands.

He'd still probably be top 10. Actually, might get better. Lower center of gravity.

Mine is still debating it. We vote each week on whether or not to allow TDs over 50 yards.

I'm an ecstatic Gurley dynasty owner. Just trying not to get too ahead of myself and talk real here. Seriously. The 49ers DT plays that play better and this thread hits page 3. Let's pump the brakes just a touch guys. Sounds like a bunch of boy band fan boys in here.
