St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley is real and he's spectacular. He was supposed to have the reins on him until Week 7, but he was just too good and he's already coming into this week as a top-15 asset at running back for fantasy leagues.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 7: Todd Gurley time
It’s Todd Gurley time. We break down the fantasy implications.
He wasn’t excepted to be unleashed, but Gurley rushed for over 300 yards in his last two games. He has yet to score, but that should be coming in short order, especially now that he has a bye to get more time to recover.
Besides the recovery time, Gurley now gets a terrific matchup. The Cleveland Browns were the worst rush defense last year and they are sitting in the bottom five this season. Plus, the Rams are at home, which will help them get a lead and run the ball late in the game.
Fantasy impact: You have to start Gurley this week as a top-five option.
