Fantasy Football: 7 Players to Avoid in Week 4

Todd Gurley, RB, St. Louis Rams

If there's one safe takeaway from Todd Gurley’s six-carry, nine-yard debut, it's that he isn’t ready to be an every-week fantasy starter just yet. He is apparently still adjusting to the Rams’ offense, which is one that will limit his upside when he is ready.

Factoring in his matchup with the Cardinals this week, it doesn’t make much sense to play Gurley in fantasy football. Arizona ranks sixth in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play, and Carson Palmer and the rest of the offense will likely score enough to prevent a positive game script for Gurley. We project him for 11.52 carries, 41.71 rushing yards, and 0.29 rushing touchdowns.
