The L.A. Rams have fallen on hard times. So too has Todd Gurley.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 15: Todd Gurley a risky play vs. Seahawks
The Rams are a mess, which has made Todd Gurley one of the biggest fantasy busts this season.

After a breakout rookie season, Gurley is enduring the dreaded sophomore slump this year. In 13 games, Gurley has accounted for just 740 yards on 227 carries (3.3 avg.) with five touchdowns. He also has 35 catches for 272 yards (7.8 avg.) and no scores.
Most of the blame can be placed on the Rams’ putrid offense, which has one of the league’s worst offensive lines, a rookie quarterback, and a lacking wide receiver group. All of this has led to the Rams losing eight of their last nine games and firing head coach Jeff Fisher this week.
Now they get a short week to prepare for the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Gurley as the 24th-best running back in Week 15. He faces a Seahawks defense allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.
Keep Gurley benched this week.
