Running Back Analysis: NFL Week 10

Elite Plays

Todd Gurley

Todd Gurley has finally made his way up to being the top priced on both sites, and is now not just an easy fit into you lineups. You and I will have tough calls this weekend, due to many value running backs receiving bigger workloads. Per Football Outsiders, Chicago ranks 31st in run defense, making this an elite matchup for Gurley. Opposing backs have a 4.6 YPC against the Bears, but have limited touchdowns. Gurley ranks as the fifth top rated running back, per Pro Football Focus, and we know Gurley is in for another 20+ carry workload. He was held under 100 yards last game, but did find the end zone. He has four touchdowns in the last three games, and still has a 5.6 YPC on the season. Everything lines up for a big Gurley week, but will you pay up for that price tag?
