Todd Gurley, StL, RB (30 percent started, $10)
Matchup: at GB
Numerous masculine runs are in Gurley's very near future. Coddled for months by Rams coaches and physicians after suffering a gnarly knee injury last November, the rookie was finally unleashed Week 3 in Arizona. Though the Cardinals had surrendered just 3.08 yards per carry entering last Sunday's tilt with the Rams, Gurley exhibited the devastating power, speed and versatility that gave SEC coaches nightmares. On 21 touches, the kid racked 161 total yards, netting 71 yards after initial contact. I'm convinced he's the next Adrian Peterson or Marshawn Lynch. He attacks with the vim and vigor of a rankled boar, catches the ball cleanly and is rock solid in pass protection. In other words, Gurley is a rarity, a legit three-down workhorse in a timeshare era. For those who stashed him, your patience is about to be richly rewarded. To be fair, Green Bay has played extraordinary defense of late. Marshawn Lynch, Jamaal Charles and Carlos Hyde each failed to reach 50 yards on the ground against it. A slimmed down B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews have done a tremendous job sniffing out the run. Overall, the Packers have given up just 4.0 yards per carry to RBs. Still, ball control, featuring a heavy dose of Gurley, is sure to be the point of emphasis in Jeff Fisher's game plan. Another 20-25 touches are a foregone conclusion. At $10 in Yahoo DFS, you won't uncover a better bargain the rest of this season.
