[Dynasty] Todd Gurley (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter tdmills
- Start date
4 TD's this year in 4 weeks.
15-60 ish every week and pretty much all the GL attempts.
Great Flex/RB3 unless/until ATL makes a major change based on the record. Their schedule eases up so if they can win a few games and not kill morale or present a 'play the new guy' he has already out performed.
I took him in as my 3rd RB at RD 5 P1 with most of the usual suspects ahead of him. Most notable after - MG 111?
Or sell high for a flyer?

also struggling with this. they work hill in, but gurley still has one of the more reliable workloads and like you said, a soft schedule coming up. I feel like he is better to hold and try to sell in a few weeks if possible. I'm not sure how inspired anyone will be after last night's performance. he doesn't look great, though i don't think that the line is doing him too many favors. He was still able to bounce a few, including that last TD.
I’m with you two too. He’s putting up points at the goal line but the snap% has been just a tad over 50% and he’s not getting many targets. And he got a bit lucky to get that second td late. If that goes differently I don’t think he was going back in. Buttttttt...the schedule is really favorable for the next month so I’m stuck between selling semi high and waiting for a 2-3 more weeks to try and sell a bit higher. I have major concerns about the team/him having incentive to play him a lot and him to play hard late in year when they’re 2-9.

They should have fed him more if they wanted to win

Congrats to Gurley. Would have felt better if they won though

So those that have watched Atlanta this year...is Gurley back? Is he still considering a good dynasty asset? Looks like he's posted pretty good numbers in fantasy (save week 2) and the last 3 weeks has been a top 6 producing RB. Smoke and mirrors or no? I have an offer in a PPR league where I could use RB help to trade Sutton for Gurley and a 2nd, just curious if others think he's worth that both this year and long term...any thoughts?

Smoke and mirrors is my call. All RB's have looked good vs the Panthers. Yet he keeps getting TD's, so if you think that is sustainable, then he might be your guy.

I'm just not sure...but my team is pretty loaded at WR (Hopkins, Ridley, AJ Brown, Claypool, Sutton, Diontae Johnson) and I'm a lot weaker at RB (Chubb, Gibson, L. Murray, Edmonds) so while I hate to make panic moves seems Gurley would instantly upgrade my RB starter but will I quickly regret? Just don't know how those knees are holding up...

I am a Gurley owner and i am nervous starting him every week. He gets most goal line carries so that's great. He's still a big back with good vision but he looks slooowwwww. Even this past weekend on his 25 yard TD run..he looked slow and if it wasn't for the huge hole he went through, he didn't have the speed. There is also the issue with Ryan. The passing game has been awful and for some reason...they don't reqlly create plays for Gurley.
I start Gurley every week and so far so good but i don't think he looks good at all.

Gurley of old will never be back.
He can't move laterally at all anymore / he can't get the corner anymore. Isn't to say he can't be average North-South guy. The speed from point A to point B might still be there but the initial burst is gone.
The receiving isn't there anymore either. Been the case for the past 1.3 seasons. He's had 1 game this year of over 2 catches or 6 yards.
Everything about his game screams he's in the late stage of his career even at 26.

I think it is sustainable. Even last year with the Rams he scored 12 TDs in 15 games played. Gurley has one hell of a nose for the endzone he has been doing it his whole career. I love the career milestone he achieved this weekend. 75 career touchdowns in 78 regular season games. Only LT, Jim Brown, and Emmitt Smith have reached that milestone in less time.
I only play redraft so I can't really comment on dynasty. As far as redraft goes I couldn't be happier with this guy. I drafted Gurley expecting him to be my RB2 with RB1 upside and he has met expectations. His worse game this year was week 2 with 61 yards and no TDs. However I was thrilled that he had 21 carries that game. This season he has seen no less than 14 carries in a game and he gets the majority of goal line touches. I'll take any RB seeing that kind of volume.

Struggling what to do in dynasty. I'm 4-1 despite losing Saquon for the year, with Sanders/Gurley/Freeman/Breida/McKinnon/Harris as my healthy RBs. (I can start from 1-3 RB).
If I trade Gurley for future value, that feels like punting 2020 when I'm in first place thru 5 weeks. But if I try to ride him and contend this year, he may fall apart and lose all value, and I probably fall out of contention as a result.
Maybe I can split the difference - find a RB-needy team and get a WR/TE that can produce this year and in future.

Anyone trying to trade him after this game Vs Car.
Will still get volume but the matches are much harder

Traded him and Hockenson for DK. Ppr league but 20 yards for a point receiving. I agree the schedule gets much tougher and I don’t see much incentive for the Falcons to feed him late in the year when they’re 2-10.

Had considered...but not sure Id get the value in return at RB. And with the ups and downs of the Jones/Fournette situation...and Jacobs being hit or miss...I am just appreciating having a guy I know will get the carries each week and gets the ball near the GL.

Just painful watching him. He can't move side to side at all anymore. I'm sure it'll come out after he's done how much pain it was for him to just play. He's 26 going on Frank Gore in RB years.
I don't know how he did it but credit to him for getting $5 mil out of the Falcons this year. I expect his career to end sooner rather than later. Probably has a nice future in film if he wants it.
Hill makes Gurley look like he's running in quicksand much like Henderson did last year with the Rams.

Agreed, sold him this past Tuesday as I only needed him for a few bye week issues:
Gurley and two 3rds for Goedert and a 2nd. (TE Premium league 1.5PPR).

Plus its a league where WR/TE are listed as receivers and no mandatory TE start. Often the top TE's are all in the top 10 -15 for scoring.

Was hoping to actually play Gurley in this matchup. May be relying in the hoodie to actually give the ball to Damian Harris.

Gurley is out week 12

In a mini dynasty (keep starting lineup plus 8, with restrictions on the 8, IDP, PPR ), traded Gurley and Antonio Brown for Kittle. That could bite me in the ###, as I'm in a "win now" mode, but neither of them was likely to make next years roster.

Nah that sounds like a fabulous trade for you. I'm not s long term believer in Gurley. Or short term for that matter.

Gurley is on a 1-year deal. My guess is that his feature back days are over after this year and he’ll be relegated to an RBBC as a power/short yardage specialist.

As a Gurley owner this sucks and I just dropped Hill this week to cover a bye next week.

After this week the remaining schedule does not look fun for Atl RBs
Would like to hear more on this. His snap percentage was lower last week but I didn't see if he left game for good or just reduced role

Can anyone really trust him ROS? I mean it all comes down each game to if he will score...seems a 50 yard a week and hope for a TD is the best you can do with Gurley (of course...that seems the best I can expect most weeks from Damien Harris and realize he won't even get the GL carries that Gurley would).
