Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams

FanDuel Price: $9,500
Projected Points: 21.0

We're at the point where we have to start thinking about what it would actually take to fade Todd Gurley. Is there a certain matchup? Is there a certain price point?

Fortunately neither of those factors will affect our decision to play him this week, as he is still somewhat reasonably priced and faces the Denver Broncos, who have allowed the ninth-most FanDuel points per game of any team to opposing running backs this season. So we'll continue to ride with the stud running back who has seen 40.65% of the Los Angeles Rams opportunities and leads all running backs with an average of 26.0 FanDuel points per game this season.

The game script will also once again be in Gurley's favor in Week 6, as the Rams have the third-highest implied total of any team on the main slate and are favored by 7.0 points.

You'll have to dig deep to find value players to save money in your lineup, but the cost of missing out on Gurley makes that well worth it.
