Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Week 2 Predictions

Sit: Todd Gurley, RB, St. Louis Rams


Opponent: Seattle Seahawks


In most leagues, sitting Todd Gurley just isn't a realistic option. You likely drafted him in the first round, and you should always play your studs no matter what, but this is more of a way to say you should keep your expectations in check. While Gurley is an electrifying talent and can easily break a big one at any given moment, the offense around him is putrid. Teams are going to continue to stack the box with Case Keenum and the Rams' vanilla passing offense not serving as much of a threat, and against the 49ers in Week 1, that resulted in very little running room for Gurley, who had to work hard for 47 rushing yards on 2.8 YPC. In Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, one of the best defenses in the NFL, Gurley will likely need a touchdown to provide a useful line in fantasy. (Getty)
