Todd Gurley II Fantasy

The Baltimore Ravens are not expected to pursue free agent running back Todd Gurley II at this point in time, according to Josina Anderson. The Ravens appear to be content with what they currently have at running back, despite losing J.K. Dobbins (knee) for the season. Gus Edwards will open the year as the Ravens' No. 1 running back and should be shooting up draft boards over the next week. Rookie running back Ty'Son Williams is also someone worth targeting late in drafts as he appears settled in as the Ravens' No. 2 back ahead of Justice Hill. Gurley, meanwhile, could still draw interest from other running back-needy teams or he could draw interest from the Ravens later this year. There's no need to draft or roster Gurley in any fantasy league for now.

Free-agent running back Todd Gurley II could be a favorite to join the Ravens. With Baltimore potentially losing J.K. Dobbins (knee) for the season, the former Georgia Bulldog may be in the running to fill the void. After spending years as one of the most elite fantasy options available, knee issues derailed things. He finished last year with the Falcons by racking up 678 yards and nine touchdowns off 195 carries and adding 25 catches for 164 yards. Still, as long as the veteran can remain healthy moving ahead, he could thrive in Baltimore's run-heavy offensive approach. However, he will need to be signed first, which isn't guaranteed to happen, although managers may benefit by stashing him immediately, especially those in deeper PPR formats. If Gurley does get a deal, Gus Edwards would see his fantasy stock slightly decrease, although he would still have a semi-prominent role moving ahead.

The Los Angeles Rams clearly don't believe that free-agent running back Todd Gurley II can be effective in the running game anymore, even in a rotation, due to the knee injuries that they had to deal with for the entire 2019 season. It's why they eventually cut him early in 2020 despite owing him a lot more money -- they're still on the hook for $8.4 million in dead money from his contract in 2021. Gurley would also have to agree to a reunion, which he might not want after the way things ended in LA. The Rams are content to roll into training camp without pursuing other free-agent running backs like Duke Johnson, Le'Veon Bell, Adrian Peterson, Devonta Freeman, Chris Thompson, Bo Scarbrough and Kenjon Barner. It's a vote of confidence for Darrell Henderson Jr., who now has clear RB2 upside with Cam Akers (Achilles) out for the season.
