The dude is getting it done every damn week in a BIG way
Obs Todd Gurley is killing it but he was a top pick
I’d rather Theilen on my team than Mahomes. You could argue James Conner but his run is about to be over...
I love you Adam Thielen

Not in a standard
He was a late 3rd or a 4th

Yup. You know there has to be teams out there that have all of those guys on it. Gurley in 1st, Theilen in 3rd, Connor late, Mahomes late

I was hating on him before the season and opted to go with diggs over him. Not mad at it though diggs has been solid as well and I’m Not hurting at WR with Boyd and Evans also

Fair point.
Posted on 10/28/18 at 10:39 pm to Tiger1242
He’s up there for sure, along with Conner, James White, Mahomes

I picked up Gurley in the 1st, Theilen in the 4th, & Connor on the waiver wire the morning after the draft. Currently sitting at 1st because of them & Kelce.

Yea Connor isn’t going anywhere. Leveon will be the relief back at best, or possibly traded or benched

Connor has surpassed the best early season production of Leveon’s career. After next week he’ll have surpassed the best production of Leveon through the first half of any season. I don’t think they can bench Connor.
Maybe they’ll have them in a committee, but they’re both volume backs and they both require very different run blocking styles and general running plays. Connor’s style fits the team better and the linemen prefer it. I haven’t confirmed, but pretty sure Connor has fewer runs for losses and probably a greater yards before contact. If it was me running that team, I’d prefer a steady grinder one cut back that will get me positive yards in the running game, compared to Leveon standing around til he finds the perfect hole and trying to make a big play. You have two elite receivers in AB and Juju to make big chunk plays for you and make your offense explosive

Eh. This analysis is being very favorable to Conner and unfair to Bell. Leveon Bell, when playing, has proved to be the best RB in the NFL for a number of years. Conner has been great, but if we're going purely on talent and scheme, any team is going to want Bell over Conner.
Now, I agree that the Steelers will probably continue to use Conner as their lead back because he's earned it and they know Bell does not care about this season and is out as soon as he can. But it's not because they think Conner is a better fit for their scheme.

Scheme-wise yea, I was giving my opinion on how they should conduct their offense. Can’t argue Conner’s production though, and you either have to chalk that up to Conner’s talent or the scheme being more successful. I think it’s more scheme than talent, but both of those things would change with Leveon. It’s not as simple as plug and play

nah its still Gurley, dude put up 31 points yesterday and some were still "disappointed"
plus it seems like the consensus #1 more often disappoints, especially following up a season like gurley had last year.

Click on the first place team in your league and you’re likely to see Gurley

Gurley owner in first place checking in
Posted on 10/29/18 at 11:00 am to GynoSandberg
I’ve got gurley, Connor, cam, and devante Adams.
Matchups are fricking bullshite. I’ll be 5-3 this week and have by far the most points of anyone in the league.
I really wish we’d go to a top six bottom six arrangement.
