TODD GURLEY UNDER 12.8 Fantasy Points:
Todd Gurley is having a decent year for a guy with major knee issues. His numbers are not spectacular, but he has been consistent. Gurley is averaging 17.6 rushing attempts, 64.8 rushing yards, 2.4 targets, 1.6 receptions, and nine total rushing touchdowns. This week he goes up against a tough defense, the Saints, who are only giving up 12.3 fantasy points to opposing team’s running backs this season. Gurley gets the second worst match up this week. Gurley is going up against the second-best rush defense in the NFL, which is only giving up 76.8 rushing yards per game. The Falcons offensive line has the third worst match up against the Saints defensive line, according to PFF. The Saints have yet to give up 100 rushing yards to a running back and have only given up three rushing touchdowns this year. I do not expect the Saints to allow Gurley much room to run, for a guy who is on the decline in his career. The Free Projections Portal on the site has Todd Gurley projected for 12.29 fantasy points, which is just under his prop. Gurley is expected to get round 50 yards on the ground, plus a catch or two. Gurley’s bread and butter this year is scoring touchdowns, but that will be a difficult task this week. The numbers point to the under, unless Gurley gets a touchdown this week.
