NashvilleNinja Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I know the obvious answer, but Gurley hasn't looked good overall because of the Rams struggles and Howard has gotten a decent amount of buzz this week. Plus, the Cardinals have supposedly been stout against the run so far. Still start Gurley or go with Howard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Gurley without question. If you lose only because Howard outscored Gurley, it wasn't meant to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just being a homer because you traded for him lol. Nah, i'm not being a homer. It would be different if Howard had already had some decent games. You're talking about starting a guy who couldn't beat out 2 other guys on his own team and who has 12 career carries, over a guy who was a top 10 draft pick and fantasy stud last season.

heyitsmeallen Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Gurley for sure. Fish face is going to force feed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansah isn't playing, Levy isn't playing. They have Hoyer QBing who isn't pass happy like Cutler. Jeffery banged up again. We just steam rolled DET on the ground in a game we were losing most of. I think Howard has a better ceiling this week than Gurley. I wish that wasn't the case cuz I'm starting Gurley in my big money league. That's just what I'm feeling. And as I said before, ARI will be playing pissed off. LA might not see the redzone. You can make similar arguments for lots of fantasy decisions. John Brown has been an absolute fantasy bust this season. But he's finally weeks removed from a concussion, Palmer rarely has 2 bad games in a row, and they are playing the Rams who will be focusing on stopping Johnson, Fitz and Floyd. I'm starting Brown this week in a flex spot but I wouldn't start him over Beckham (who had a bad start like Gurley). It's great when you are able to pick a spot and score more points by making a roster move but more often than not it backfires when you are talking about benching a stud for an unproven 5th round pick.

My RBs are DMurray, LeVeon Bell, Gurley, Howard, and Dixon. So this is about who gets the flex spot between Gurley and Howard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not benching Murray for Gurley if that's what you're saying. If Gurley were on the Titans he'd be the starter, so don't get me wrong... but he's not. He's a Ram. His quarterback is Case Keenum. Idgaf what you may or may not think of Mariota right now, that's a night and day's worth of difference there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiscotitansfan Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Can we get over using the term "stud" for Gurley?? He started the season hot but hasn't produced more than a handful of midround picks have in that timeframe the 2nd half of the season.... He's good over the course of a season because volume but he isn't a must start if you are serious about matchups That being said, go Gurley over Howard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah... just give me a stud WR and you got it. My WRs for this team aren't so great. Alshon Jeffrey, Jarvis Landry, Sterling Shepard, Jordan Matthews, Sharpe. If it were a PPR league they might be pretty decent, but it's standard scoring. 30 minutes ago, wiscotitansfan said: Can we get over using the term "stud" for Gurley??

There's nothing about his game that you can blame for his lack of production. It's all about the Rams QB situation and their offensive philosophy in general. Again, if he were our RB he would probably be blowing the hell out of the stat sheet right now. Murray has been awesome, but Gurley would probably be better. And I will be going Gurley. I just wanted to see what the opinions were of Howard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvoisly he is studly in talent but there is much more to fantasy than individual talent. He's great don't get me wrong but let's get over this notion though that he is unbenchable. He'd be a perfect buy-low candidate and good rest of season.... Besides the fact that people still wouldn't sell him low because "it's Gurley" When Brown was missing Rapey last year he was very benchable and the smart thing to do was play other guys, all because the QB and other players around him (sounds familiar) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about benching him to start a no-name rookie 5th round pick who literally has 12 carries to his name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Last week I benched McCoy in favor of Ware because the Bills were playing the vaunted Arizona D. It didnt work out and almost cost me a win. Sometimes you can over think matchups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
