Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams

FanDuel Price: $9,100
Projected Points: 20.8

For the second week in a row, one of the top two running backs is not on the main slate. This week, it's Alvin Kamara who won't be available as the New Orleans Saints play on Monday night. That leaves Todd Gurley as the clear top option at running back in Week 5.

He has topped 20.0 FanDuel points in all four games so far this season, topping 100 yards in each of those and already racking up 6 total touchdowns. The Los Angeles Rams' offense flows through him, as he has seen 39.9% of the team's opportunities (rushes plus targets). That gives him a great opportunity for another big day in Week 5, as the Rams have the second-highest implied team total (29.0 points) on the main Sunday slate. The game script is also in his favor, with the Rams being favored by 7.5 points.

Gurley will be in consideration every week this season, and for this week, his unmatched floor cannot be found anywhere else at the running back position.
