LAR RB Todd Gurley - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Todd Gurley flourished under new head coach Sean McVay in 2017. After rushing for only 885 yards with six touchdowns in his final year under Jeff Fisher, Gurley produced 1,305 yards with 13 scores under McVay a year ago. He was also a huge part of the Rams' passing game, catching 64 passes on 87 targets for 788 yards and six touchdowns. Armed with a new contract he received this offseason, Gurley returns as the focal point of McVay's explosive offense.

Fantasy Downside

The Rams' future opponents will certainly look at what the Falcons did to them in the Wild Card round last year as a blueprint to stop McVay's offense. Atlanta set out to stop Gurley in the passing game, especially on early downs, and wound up holding the running back to just 10 receiving yards on four receptions. Still, Gurley rushed 14 times for 101 yards in that game so it's not as if the Falcons wiped him out of McVay's game plan. Plus, opponents game planned to stop Gurley weekly last year and he still finished as fantasy's RB1. The only downside with Gurley is an injury, but isn't that the case with any player?

2018 Bottom Line

One of the smartest things McVay did a year ago was turn Gurley loose in the passing game. He thrived as a pass-catcher, especially on early downs, where McVay knows he has an advantage against opponents planning to stop the run. Gurley is a complete back and our No. 1 ranked RB heading into the season. He should be the first player selected off your board and will be worth the investment.

LA RB Todd Gurley Wild Card Round Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Round vs. Atlanta Falcons

Todd Gurley sat out of the Rams' Week 17 loss to the 49ers in preparation for the playoffs. He led the NFL with 2,093 scrimmage yards this season and was second among running backs with 788 receiving yards in 2017. He's the complete package and will be a monster in the playoffs. Even though Gurley will face the No. 1-rated fantasy defense against running backs on Saturday night when the Rams host the Falcons, he is a must-start in all formats. He is our top-rated running back for Wild Card weekend.

LA RB Todd Gurley - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Tennessee Titans

Todd Gurley had a monster performance in Week 15, rushing 21 times for 152 yards and scoring 3 touchdowns while also catching all 3 of his targets for 28 yards and a fourth touchdown. If you're reading this, chances are you didn't face Gurley last week in your fantasy playoffs because you're most likely finished. Gurley and the Rams dominated a depleted Seattle defense that was playing without linebacker K.J. Wright and against a one-legged Bobby Wagner. It was the perfect storm for Gurley owners and he produced.

Ranked as our No. 2 RB for Week 16, Gurley is a must-start for when the Rams visit the Titans on Sunday. Tennessee ranks seventh against fantasy running backs this season but Gurley is matchup-proof.

LAR RB Todd Gurley - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Seattle Seahawks

Todd Gurley rushed 13 times for 96 yards and 2 touchdowns while adding 3 receptions for 39 additional yards in the Rams' Week 14 loss to the Eagles. Sean McVay admitted in the days following the loss he should have stuck more with Gurley and the ground game. Gurley compiled 32 yards and a touchdown on just 2 touches in opening drive but was used sparingly the rest of the first half.

The Rams will head to Seattle on Sunday to take on the Seahawks in a pivotal NFC West matchup. Even though the Seahawks rank third against fantasy running backs this season, Gurley is matchup-proof. The high-volume back is our No. 3 ranked RB for Week 15 and needs to be in all lineups.

LA RB Todd Gurley - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Todd Gurley rushed for 74 yards on 19 carries and also caught 6-of-7 targets for 84 yards in the Rams’ Week 13 win over the Cardinals. For all Sean McVay has done to turn around this Rams franchise, the best thing he’s done since taking over for Jeff Fisher was turning Gurley into the versatile, dynamic weapon that he should be. Gurley has as much as a presence in the passing game as he does in the running game and the Rams have benefited greatly. Sunday marked the ninth time Gurley has totaled over 100 yards from scrimmage this season. He’s a beast.

The Rams host the Eagles this weekend in yet another pivotal NFC matchup. Philadelphia ranks third against fantasy running backs this season but Gurley is matchup-proof. Ranked as our No. 3 RB for Week 14, get him in all of your lineups.

LA RB Todd Gurley - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Arizona Cardinals

Todd Gurley rushed 17 times for 74 yards in the Rams' Week 12 win over the Saints, adding 4 receptions for an additional 54 yards. He posted 120 yards from scrimmage for the seventh time in his last 11 games. Ranked as our No. 2 RB for Week 13, Gurley is a no-brainer RB1 for Sunday when the Rams visit the Cardinals.

LA RB Todd Gurley - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New Orleans Saints

Todd Gurley rushed 15 times for 37 yards and one touchdown in the Rams' 24-7 loss to the Vikings in Week 11. As expected, the Rams couldn't generate their usual output of points against Minnesota's stingy defense. They marched right up field on the opening possession of the game but Gurley's touchdown run was all the scoring the Rams could muster.

Gurley should find the running lanes bigger on Sunday when the Rams host the Saints. New Orleans has been outstanding defensively this season but still rank just 22nd against fantasy running backs. Ranked as our No. 2 RB for Week 12, make sure Gurley is in all of your lineups for Sunday.
