Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams

DraftKings Price: $7,800
Projected Points: 19.62

Todd Gurley is currently 4th in rushing yards (241), 4th in receiving yards (140), and 1st in touchdowns (6). He has an 87.1% snap share, the 4th highest rate for a running back in the NFL.

Gurley has 16 red zone touches (2nd most in the NFL) and 8 goal-line carries (1st in the NFL). He's not only getting most of the red zone work but he's been a monster in the passing game. His 13 receptions are the 6th most by a running back. He's being used in every phase of the game.

Gurley's involvement in the red zone and the passing game are what makes him a superb play, even though he's on a team that will be a road underdog. The Los Angeles Rams have an ITT of 21.00 points and are 6.00 underdogs.

They'll likely be playing from behind for most of this game, which should garner Gurley a few extra receptions and opportunities to break a long run after the catch. This three-down running back is the exact type of player worth paying up for.
