Fantasy Football: 6 Players to Avoid in Week 16

Todd Gurley, RB, St. Louis Rams

A candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year, Todd Gurley has been an RB1 despite playing in an offense without a potent passing game or decent offensive line. Despite having the 37th-best Success Rate out of 42 backs with at least 100 carries, Gurley’s knack for busting big runs has him ninth in Rushing NEP and 10th in Rushing NEP per play.

The Seahawks rank eighth over their last four games in rush defense, and Gurley will be a road underdog when the Rams head into CenturyLink Field on Sunday. He can make you look silly for benching him with only one run, but he has slim odds to do it this week.

Our sixth-ranked running back, we project Gurley for 16.97 rushes for 70.93 rushing yards and 0.26 rushing touchdowns.
