I've been starting Gurley and Deangelo with Javorius at flex + Antonio and Fitz at WR. Maclin has been dominating on my frickin bench while Crabtree puts up his high floor figures

I think it's time to sit gurley, move Javorius to RB, and Maclin to flex. what do yall think? no need to fear the pass from the rams, so gurley is getting shut the frick down. cant have another 5pt performance frick me in the playoffs

i dont think i could sit Gurley for Allen.

Allen wont catch 12 balls every game. his body of work on the ground hasnt been very good.

next week

Allen vs SEA
Gurley vs DET

With this, I would start Allen. With that pass rush, I'm expecting a lot of checkdowns to Allen.

AP
Rawls- FA add before Lynch went down
David Johnson

I am heavily leaning toward benching Gurley unless Ellington is back.

Todd Gurley has just one rush of 10+ yards over the past four weeks after having 18 runs of 10+ yards over his five previous games.

I may start Hillman vs Oakland this week and bench Gurley.

I'm seriously considering this myself. It's just so hard to put Gurley on the bench.

He really was making his mark off long runs. He would have shite stats for the day then boom a 60 yarder. Those dried up

which is why i would still have trouble sitting him. One long run that results in a TD is a pretty damn good day. He had a long one last week, but that was about it.

For me, Javoros Allen offers little upside

Little upside? He had 35 points yesterday, baw.

I get that he won't catch 12 again, but he gets targets. Shitty QB's will result in rb check downs because Schaub is not airing it out downfield.

I like Gurley's upside vs DET rather than Allen vs SEA.


process over results for me.

3.6 ypc as a starter tells me he is limited in what he can produce. He's not a good RB but he gets a lot of touches. Not being good is dangerous against a good defense.


i get that he had 12 catches yesterday. Looks like an outlier to me. 4-5 seems like his hot zone.


What do you think Allen gets vs SEA?

I still see you're poo pooing Detroits run D. I told you Murray was in for a tough thanksgiving.

I have both Gurley and Allen. Going with Gurley. I think Allen is the better play at this point if they were going against the same defense but after seeing what Seattle did to AP last week I don't want anything to do with them.

I almost sat him last week.

I wish I had but I won anyway. Tonight determines my playoff fate.

If I'm in the playoffs it will be really tempting to bench him. That team is awful. The line is bad. He was going off earlier because they fed him 25 times a game. Now he's getting 10 touches a game while they chunk it around 35 times for 125 yards.

I wouldn't sit him for Hillman. Hillman is coming of a 56 yard no TD game. He had 21 yards and no TDs in the first game against Oakland.

Gurley has much more upside if he actually gets the ball. The floor is the same.
