Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams

DraftKings Price: $8,100
Projected Points: 20.42

The Los Angeles Rams are road favorites as they travel to face the New York Giants on Sunday. The Rams have an implied team total of 22.75 points and are favored by 3.5 points.

Todd Gurley has been consistently elite all year. He has scored at least 20.6 DraftKings points in five of the seven games he's played this season. He has a fantastic floor, which makes him a superb cash-game option, as well as a high ceiling, giving him GPP appeal.

The Giants' defense is allowing the opposing primary running back to score 14.1 DraftKings points per game. Our models have Gurley projected to total 20.42 points, just a bit lower than his 25.3 points per game average.

With the lack of superstars on the slate, Gurley provides us with an opportunity to lock in a fairly safe player who has been very productive for a pretty modest price.
