Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that new RB Todd Gurley "has a great knack for finding the end zone," according to William McFadden of the Atlanta Falcons. Gurley ""had a fantastic camp and is really ready to get rocking."

Fantasy Impact:

One more pump of the tires for Todd Gurley. Gurley appears to be locked in as the goal line back and locked in as the bell cow in Atlanta.

Todd Gurley impresses at Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Falcons RB Todd Gurley showed speed, agility, and vision in his first practice at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, according to Will McFadden of AtlantaFalcons.com. "Impressively, he took one handoff during the scoring drive and, seeing the middle of the field was clogged up, turned and sprinted towards the left sideline," wrote McFadden. "He outran contain and got the edge despite not having any blockers out on the left-hand side of the play to buy him time. It was a display of how quickly Gurley could reach top speed and it did not disappoint."

Fantasy Impact:

Gurley took to his new home turf and showed that the burst is still there. Maybe a maintenance-free playing surface will help cure what ails Gurley's knees and allow him to play with more comfort for 2020. An arthritic knee is still a serious red flag for fantasy players as drafts continue to happen, but this is encouraging.

Falcons see 15-25 touches a week for RB Todd Gurley

ESPN

Aug 25, 2020 · 3:33 PM EDT

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter envisions between 15 to 25 touches per game for new running back Todd Gurley, provided the running back's left knee remains healthy throughout the 2020 season.

"I think a minimum of 15 touches and a high of [25]," Koetter told ESPN in a phone interview Tuesday. "But you've got to realize we've got a lot of guys that need touches. You're going to have 64 plays in a game on average on offense. Depending on where you're at in the season and wear and tear, I think the low is 15 and maybe the high end 25.

Fantasy Impact:

The Falcons currently have Gurley on a "load management" plan in preparation for the Sept. 13 season opener at home against the Seahawks. Gurley sat out two padded practices during training camp thus far but participated in Monday's scrimmage, although he did not have a heavy workload. Gurley averaged 16.9 touches per game last year for the Rams, which was off his career average of 20.3. Gurley cited playing in 15 games last season as reason why people should not fret about the durability of his left knee. Gurley is ranked 15th on our RB list.

Todd Gurley open to sitting out season without COVID-19 plan

92.9 The Game

Jul 24, 2020 · 11:05 AM EDT

Falcons RB Todd Gurley is willing to sit out the 2020 season if the NFL does not have a structured COVID-19 restart plan.

“It’s really not structured right,” Gurley said on Tiki & Tierney on 92.9 The Game in Atlanta, referring to the NFL’s restart plan. “There’s not a proper plan in place that I’m comfortable with. I don’t have a wife. I don’t have any kids. You have to look at guys on the other side who have [a] pregnant wife, kids and a wife that they go home to every single day. I just feel like we just need to come up with something a lot better than what they’re giving us. Everything they gave us is pretty last minute. We should have been able to have answers weeks ago, if not months ago.”

Fantasy Impact:

Todd Gurley's return to Georgia has led to a rejuvenated view on his fantasy prospects. His strong comments and concerns regarding the NFL's handling of COVID-19 testing and return-to-play protocol come as the league and NFLPA try to agree on a plan to get players ready for camp. Gurley's workload should be high as Atlanta's lead back, but that could mean nothing if the NFL does not provide a plan he deems suitable.

Gurley is currently being drafted as an RB3 in half-point PPR due to past injury concern.
