Rams | LA Rams' injury report for Week 10 Fri Nov 8, 04:46 PM
Los Angeles Rams LB Bryce Hager (shoulder) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 10 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. WR Brandin Cooks (concussion) was upgraded to a limited practice Friday, Nov. 8, but has also been ruled out. WR JoJo Natson (illness) was held out of practice for a second straight day Friday and is listed as questionable. RB Todd Gurley (non-injury) did not practice Friday but does not appear on the injury report. DT Tanzel Smart (illness), RB Malcolm Brown (ankle), LB Clay Matthews (jaw) and OT Andrew Whitworth (non-injury) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Matthews will be a big addition to this defense. He, Dante Fowler and Aaron Donald will keep Mason Rudolph uncomfortable all afternoon. |

Rams | Todd Gurley punches on in Sun Oct 27, 06:12 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley rushed 10 times for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals in London. He also was targeted once but didn't have a grab.
| Footballguys view: Gurley is a low ceiling RB2/Flex at this point. The Rams are showing no inclination to give him feature back work after his high point in snaps this year was followed by a missed week. |

Rams | Todd Gurley back with touchdown Sun Oct 20, 06:24 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley rushed 18 times for 41 yards in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons and he added a 13-yard touchdown reception on his only target.
| Footballguys view: Gurley's touchdown was an over the shoulder catch that many wide receivers would envy and he ran hard on his carries, but the holes just weren't there. He almost had another score late and is still a strong RB2 against the Bengals next week. |

Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (quadriceps) hopefully will be available to play in the Week 7 game, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: The Rams haven't been straight with us about Gurley's injuries, and it's possible Gurley hasn't been straight with the team. We'll believe Gurley is active when inactives come out Sunday morning and we'll believe his workload will be back to normal when we see it. |

Rams | Todd Gurley has a chance to play Mon Oct 14, 08:52 AM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (quadriceps) has a chance to return in Week 7, and the team hasn't ruled him out. However, the injury is on the same leg as his troublesome knee, which doesn't allow for a lot of stability.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs were already wary of Gurley heading into this season and this quad injury doesn't help. Watch him to practice later in the week. The Rams travel to face a bad Falcons defense in Week 7. |

Rams | Malcolm Brown expected to receive bulk of carries Sun Oct 13, 08:23 AM
Los Angeles Rams RB Malcolm Brown is expected to be the team's featured back in Week 6's game against the San Francisco 49ers, as a result of RB Todd Gurley (quadriceps) being ruled out. RB Darrell Henderson will also likely see an increased number of offensive snaps.
| Footballguys view: Brown is facing a very tough run defense and is only a low ceiling flex, better suited for use in nonPPR leagues. Henderson should be added in leagues with large enough benches because he could make enough of an impression to have a larger role going forward. |

Rams | Todd Gurley will not play Sat Oct 12, 04:15 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the Week 6 game.
| Footballguys view: As expected, Gurley will miss the game against the 49ers on Sunday. That means Malcolm Brown should be the lead back with rookie Darrell Henderson getting some change-of-pace work. We see Brown as a RB2 with upside while Henderson is more of a 'what the heck' flex. |

Rams | Opportunity for Darrell Henderson? Fri Oct 11, 10:27 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Darrell Henderson said he is going to be prepared for whatever role is asked of him if RB Todd Gurley (quadriceps) is unable to play against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Gurley (quad) is doubtful for the Rams' Week 6 matchup against the 49ers. That means the Rams could turn to Malcolm Brown and Henderson at the running back position. Brown is the power back and Henderson is a good all-purpose back. Brown is a RB2 with upside while Henderson is a 'what the heck' flex. |

Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 11, and is listed as doubtful for Week 6.

Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (quad) is not expected to practice for a second straight day Thursday, Oct. 10, and his status for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers is reportedly 'very much up in the air,' according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Gurley has had a week since the Week 5 loss to get ready to play and he doesn't appear to trending in the right direction. Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson would both be flex plays or emergency RB2s if Gurley can't go. |

Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley carried the ball 15 times for 51 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. Gurley added three catches for six yards.
| Footballguys view: Gurley's scores made him a fantasy hit and he did get some yards after contact, but he's not dangerous as a receiver anymore and the Rams running game is stuck in neutral. He'll be an RB2 against the 49ers next week. |

Rams | Todd Gurley logs 50-plus snaps in opener Mon Sep 9, 03:44 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) was on the field for 54 of the team's 76 offensive snaps in Week 1 against Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Gurley played a lot of snaps but he was splitting time with Malcolm Brown against the Panthers. While Gurley had 15 touches, Brown had 11 on Sunday. This looks like an approximation of the split going forward and Fantasy GMs need to adjust their projections and expectations accordingly. |

Rams | Todd Gurley unlikely to go to Hawaii Tue Aug 13, 09:33 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) is not expected to travel with the team as it heads to Hawaii to play the Dallas Cowboys in exhibition game Saturday, Aug. 17.'That's something that I would say, more likely than not, but we're still working through the specifics of that as we kind of get closer and closer to that. I don't have the full answer, but more likely than not, he will not go,' head coach Sean McVay said.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. We won't any of Gurley in the preseason as he's on McVay's 'veteran plan' for training camp. The Rams want to keep him fresh for the start of the regular season. |

Rams | Todd Gurley on preservation plan Sun Jul 28, 02:49 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley will be on a 'veteran plan' during training camp, getting interspersed rest days, and will not play in the preseason as the Rams aim to have him in optimal shape for the regular season. 'There will be (days he doesn't practice),' Rams coach Sean McVay said. 'There will be some days that -- depending upon his workload and looking toward that (Week 1) Carolina game -- we might look at treating him like we have some of those veteran players. Todd really has become a veteran player.'
| Footballguys view: The Rams are spinning this positively, but Gurley is 24, turning 25 next week, and this is not business as usual for a player that age. It sounds like were are not going to get more information to help guide us in drafts and the current position fantasy players have taken on Gurley is what they will take into drafts. |

Rams | Todd Gurley to take part in camp Saturday Fri Jul 26, 03:50 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) will be on the field for the start of training camp workouts Saturday, July 27, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: This is a relief after it wasn't announced that he avoided the PUP. We'll see how much the Rams manage his practice workload as a sign of how much to be worried about his knee and how much his regular season workload will be limited. |

Rams | Todd Gurley intends to play at 218 pounds Tue Jul 23, 03:31 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) wants to play the 2019 season at 218 pounds after playing most of his career around 224 pounds, according to NFL.com's Steve Wyche.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if the lighter weight helps keep Gurley healthy this year. His knee history is a huge concern for Fantasy GMs and that's why Gurley's average draft position is near the top of the second round instead of being at the top of the first like it has been since he entered the league. |

Rams | Todd Gurley proclaimed ready by coach Fri Jul 19, 12:18 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) received a vote of health and confidence Thursday, July 18, from head coach Sean McVay, who was a guest on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. 'I think he's feeling great,' McVay said on the show of Gurley. 'I think, you know, one of the things about Todd is (he's a) great competitor. I think he's earned the right to be able to have the plan that we had this offseason. Can't wait to get him back going. I know he's ready to go and it's going to be fun for the Rams this year.'
| Footballguys view: Gurley's knee problem has made his draft stock fall a bit this summer. He's got a current ADP of RB11 (2.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. His knee scares Fantasy GMs just a bit and so does the fact that the Rams could use guys like Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown a bit more to give Gurley a breather. |

Rams | Todd Gurley not changing style Wed Jul 10, 02:54 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) said he does not plan to change his playing style even though he has been dealing with knee issues.
| Footballguys view: That's cool, but let's see if he can hold up. Reports this offseason have speculated the Rams want to manage Gurley's workload better, leading Fantasy GMs to let the superstar back fall to the first-round/second-round turn in fantasy drafts. He won't be used in the preseason (per GM Les Snead), so expect his ADP to stay in the same area for those of you drafting in late August. |

Rams | Todd Gurley happy with time off Tue Jul 9, 10:51 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) believes sitting out organized team activities and spring workouts was good for him and 'everything went well.'
| Footballguys view: Gurley's knee trouble has caused his fantasy stock to drop. Fantasy GMs are concerned about his availability, especially late in the season (see 2018). Gurley is likely to be available at the first turn in your fantasy draft, so be ready to make a decision on how much you trust him and that knee. Gurley has a current ADP of RB11 (2.06) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Rams | Todd Gurley churns out yards after contact Mon Jul 8, 05:01 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley has recorded 2,192 yards after contact since 2016 - the second-highest total in the league over that span - according to Pro Football Focus.
| Footballguys view: That's what Gurley does...and maybe used to do. We hope beyond hope that Gurley can return to his old form, but the knee problems from last year have put a scare in the fantasy community. Gurley has top-5 talent as a pro running back, but he's falling to RB11 (2.05) in 12-team PPR leagues as people are rightly concerned about his knee. Gurley could pay off big time if he can produce like the top-tier back he used to be. |

Rams | Trainer confirms Todd Gurley's arthritic knee Mon Jun 17, 04:07 PM
Updating previous reports. Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) is in fact dealing with arthritis in his knee after months of speculation. Travelle Gaines, who has trained Gurley for three years, suggested 'not one thing has changed' in regards to his client and that 'our routine has worked, he's been strong, he's been in great shape, he's done well.' Gaines went on to say the decision this offseason to have Gurley drop six pounds and trim his body fat from 10 percent to seven was not due to injuries and more to accentuate his speed. The trainer also said 'it's never been told to me' that the Rams plan on decreasing Gurley's workload come Week 1.'Everybody knew when Todd came out of Georgia that there would be some kind of arthritic component to his knee, which is part of every surgery whether it's a shoulder, a knee, an ankle. He's now at the Year 5 mark; all we're doing is managing that. If we can pound him less in the offseason while keeping his weight down, working on his strength, working on his agility in short areas, that's going to give him a better chance to be healthy Weeks 14 through 17 when they really count,' Gaines said.
| Footballguys view: Gaines has been a trainer for some of the best players in the NFL (and the NBA too), so we'll listen to what he has to say about Gurley. The veteran superstar RB has seen his ADP slide in recent weeks as Fantasy GMs are nervous about his knee condition and about the Rams perhaps using more Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson to spell Gurley in 2019. Gurley now is a boom/bust pick for Fantasy GMs in the early second round. |

Rams | Todd Gurley downplays knee issue Tue Jun 11, 05:35 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) told reporters Tuesday, June 11, that he is 'fine' and 'doing the same kinds of things he's always done in the offseason. He also suggested the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered in college was a 'bigger problem' for him coming out of college than his current issue.
| Footballguys view: Gurley may think he's 'fine' but Fantasy GMs are not feeling the same way. There is a ton of hesitation (for good reason) when it comes to selecting Gurley with a top-10 fantasy pick. We are hearing the team could use Darrell Henderson or Malcolm Brown a little bit more to give Gurley a breather. There are also reports about Gurley's role being smaller than it has been in the past. Oh yeah, Gurley is unlikely to play in the preseason too. Gurley has superstar talent but we'll have to see what the news brings for him and the offense in training camp. Stay tuned. |

Rams | LAR want Todd Gurley to be comfortable Mon Jun 3, 10:20 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley may look to lose some weight in order to reduce some of the stress on his knee, and head coach Sean McVay said Gurley can do what he wants so he can feel comfortable with his knee.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs want to be comfortable with Gurley, and they are not right now. The Rams are unlikely to continue using Gurley as a true bellcow back. He's a late first-round pick in most fantasy drafts right now, and Gurley is likely to split time in the backfield this season. Rookie Darrell Henderson is a player we're excited to see in the preseason. The Rams could use Henderson and Malcolm Brown a bit more in 2019 to give Gurley a breather. |

Rams | Todd Gurley unlikely to play in preseason Fri May 31, 05:54 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley likely will not see any playing time during the preseason, according to general manager Les Snead.
| Footballguys view: The mystery around Todd Gurley continues. The knee problem he had at the end of last year has impacted the way the team is treating him this offseason. They may use more Malcolm Brown or Darrell Henderson this season when Gurley needs a breather. He's trimmed down his weight and now the team isn't going to use him in the preseason. Gurley is at RB7 right now in 12-team PPR leagues and this news may drop his ADP slightly. |

Rams | Todd Gurley slimming down Thu May 30, 02:38 AM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) reportedly plans on playing about six pounds lighter this season, according to NFL Network's Steve Wyche.
| Footballguys view: The reduced weight could be better for his knee in 2019. Gurley wore down late last season and wasn't himself when he returned for the Rams in the postseason. The weight is one thing, but the Rams should also use a little bit more of guys like Malcolm Brown or rookie Darrell Henderson just to give Gurley a breather. |

Rams | Todd Gurley working out at team facility Tue May 28, 06:38 PM
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) has been a regular at the team facility this offseason, according to head coach Sean McVay, despite his absence from organized team activities (OTAs) Tuesday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: Gurley's knee was problematic last year towards the end of the regular season and in the playoffs. We should see Gurley get more of a breather this year with guys like Malcolm Brown or Darrell Henderson getting a big of work running the rock. McVay added the team plans to hold Gurley out of practice in the offseason. We'd speculate the team limits Gurley in the preseason schedule too. |

Rams | No sign of Todd Gurley at OTAs Tue May 28, 03:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) was not on the field as the team kicked off its second week of organized team activities Tuesday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: Gurley's knee became a big problem at the end of the 2018 season and in the postseason, leading to C.J. Anderson emerging as their most productive back. Anderson is gone to the Lions, so the Rams are looking at Malcolm Brown and rookie Darrell Henderson as running back mates with Gurley. We love Gurley's ability but the role might be different this year if Brown or Henderson are mixed in a bit more. His current ADP is RB7 (1.10) in 12-team PPR leagues and at that price point we're looking elsewhere. |

Anderson is gone to the Lions and Gurley is feeling better. We know he's a stud when healthy and hopefully he gets back to his studly ways in 2019. |

Rams | Todd Gurley's importance unlikely to change Fri Apr 12, 03:49 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (knee) will 'continue to be a central piece of our offense and I don't see that changing,' head coach Sean McVay told The Rich Eisen Show on Friday, April 12.
| Footballguys view: Gurley should be the centerpiece of what the Rams do on offense. They need to run the ball effectively in order to set up the play-action passing game for Jared Goff and the rest of the offense. We'll see if Gurley can stay healthy this year and not get slowed down by a knee problem like he did at the end of the 2018 season. |

Rams | LA Rams to keep eye on Todd Gurley's usage Fri Mar 1, 02:00 AM
Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley will likely have his workload monitored more often moving forward, according to comments made by general manager Les Snead on Thursday, Feb. 28.'I think where we have to go is to fast forward to now is with Todd, he's had a lot of carries since he's come in the league, a lot of yards, a lot of touchdowns ... things like that. Obviously, senior year, junior year, Georgia, (tore) the ACL, so over that time there's an element of wear and tear and I think we have to determine in probably two stages: are we going to give him the amount of load that he's had in the past or are we going to lessen that load to let's say keep him fresher for the season and for the seasons beyond. If you go that route, you have to have a good, let's call it Batman and Robin combination or add another superhero figure into that and figure how you're going to do it. ... It's something we want to be intentional about and proactive,' Snead said.
