Fantasy Football 2017: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 3
START ‘EM #2
Todd Gurley. 2. player. 51. Projected Points: 12. Running Back. Rams
Todd Gurley fantasy owners were disappointed with the lack of production he had in 2016, but he’s already bouncing back in year three of his pro career. Perhaps not being the only Rams offensive weapon is helping, but Gurley is back and better than ever this season.
Gurley has a nice match-up this week, facing a 49ers team that allowed Seahawks running back Chris Carson to put up 93 yards on the ground. San Francisco allowed a total of 131 rushing yards last weekend.
What makes Gurley a great player to have on your fantasy team is that he makes an impact in the running and receiving game. He had 88 rushing yards and 48 receiving yards last week and put both a rushing and receiving touchdown on his resumé.
If San Francisco struggles against the run like they did against Carson (who’s a rookie), just imagine the kind of damage that Gurley will be able to do. Fantasy owners were hoping for a bounce back season from the former first rounder and they’re getting their wish so far.
