Draft note

by John Paulsen

Gurley finished No. 14 last year and No. 2 the year before. Once the Rams cut him, the Falcons scooped him up quickly. Atlanta is an ideal landing spot from a workload standpoint after the Falcons released Devonta Freeman and his 17.4 touches per game. Gurley is shaping up to be a fantasy RB2 with durability concerns. His value is boosted by the fact that the Falcons didn’t address the position in the Draft.

Todd Gurley open to sitting out season without COVID-19 plan

92.9 The Game

Jul 24 · 11:05 AM EDT

Falcons RB Todd Gurley is willing to sit out the 2020 season if the NFL does not have a structured COVID-19 restart plan.

“It’s really not structured right,” Gurley said on Tiki & Tierney on 92.9 The Game in Atlanta, referring to the NFL’s restart plan. “There’s not a proper plan in place that I’m comfortable with. I don’t have a wife. I don’t have any kids. You have to look at guys on the other side who have [a] pregnant wife, kids and a wife that they go home to every single day. I just feel like we just need to come up with something a lot better than what they’re giving us. Everything they gave us is pretty last minute. We should have been able to have answers weeks ago, if not months ago.”

Fantasy Impact:

Todd Gurley's return to Georgia has led to a rejuvenated view on his fantasy prospects. His strong comments and concerns regarding the NFL's handling of COVID-19 testing and return-to-play protocol come as the league and NFLPA try to agree on a plan to get players ready for camp. Gurley's workload should be high as Atlanta's lead back, but that could mean nothing if the NFL does not provide a plan he deems suitable.

Gurley is currently being drafted as an RB3 in half-point PPR due to past injury concern.

ATL RB Todd Gurley - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Todd Gurley didn't last long in free agency after being cut from the Los Angeles Rams this offseason and he lands in a good spot in Atlanta, with a strong offense and offensive line around him. He also faces less competition than he would have faced if he was still in L.A. Even with dealing with limitations in 2019, Gurley still finished as RB14 in 2019 with 12 touchdowns.

Fantasy Downside

The injury issues are certainly still surrounding Gurley dating back to the Rams run to Super Bowl LIII and will continue to linger heading into 2020. That said, he still played about 75% and carried the football 223 times in 2019.

2020 Bottom Line

As the clear lead back in Atlanta, replacing Devonta Freeman, Gurley has the looks of a very good RB2. Don't expect Ito Smith, Brian Hill or Qadree Ollison to cut into his workload too much
