If that were the case you would think they would be mixing him in more right now. Not really. They are splitting the reps enough between Gurley and Brown to need have much need for a 3rd RB. Henderson currently only subs in if either Gurley or Brown are tired. And neither will need much rest with their current split of touches. I wouldn't expect the Rams to deviate from their current split to lean more heavily on Brown if Gurley were to go down. They would do the same split or probably lean on both more equally.

I don’t believe in handcuffs because they waste a roster spot. I also think Gurley is much less likely to get injured now that his workload has lessened. I would be really curious to hear who is on your bench and who you’d be dropping him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skip23 29 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I was thinking of picking up whoever has been a hot pickup. There’s a quote McVay said after Week 2 he might give Gurley 20+ carries certain games and start giving less carries to Brown. It looks like Brown is becoming more of a possible handcuff.

Brown is easily a top 5 handcuff. If you can’t see the value in that or simply don’t believe in handcuffing in general drop away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JaylenBrownFanclub 111 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The more carries Gurley gets, the faster his knees wear out and Brown becomes an rb1. The less carries Gurley gets, the more value Brown provides as a flex. Win win situation, hold as long as possible. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have Gurley. 10 teamer with 5 bench slots, so there's been more interesting players on the waiver wire and it's clear the Rams are trying to limit Gurley in the early portion of the season Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UVA_Drew 1,283 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Another complete dud. I know Gurley has looked decent, but I really thought they'd be giving Brown more chances to split time. I think if you don't own Gurley, he's definitely droppable. Bye weeks and injuries are piling up, it's hard to hold onto this guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still arguably the one of the top cuffs with Mattison Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,327 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yeah I can definitely see moving on if it's a shallow league and/or short bench but he's got huge late season upside if Gurley were to miss some games. I'm holding in my deep league although I am disappointed he doesn't have any stand alone flex value to help during byes/injuries(I thought he would) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I get keeping Gurley fresh but If I were coaching I'd be working Henderson in more. That kid could add some juice to the backfield. I don't see Brown as much more than a Gurley handcuff at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess he was looking for a lottery ticket. At this point it may be one that never gets cashed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDE 330 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 He’s been getting dropped in a few of my leagues. I guess the allure of being the Week 1 waiver wire darling has started to wear off. My question to his owners is, would you still spend a relatively high waiver claim (let’s say 1-4) to pick him up today? I feel like his intrinsic value is essentially the same as it was back in Week 1 - a valuable handcuff in a high powered offense with a starting RB who may start to see a snap count once the season wears on. The only real difference seems to be that people thought he may have some stand-alone flex value, which doesn’t appear to be the case. All my leagues are fairly deep (12 team, 8 bench spots) so I definitely would have some room to hold onto him. Just checking to see a month later whether people still think he’s worth that type of high claim priority? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FooserX 208 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I definitely expected a LITTLE more production out of him... But I'm keeping him on my bench as a lotto ticket. We all saw what CJA did last year in the FF playoffs. [...] Much like the Cheifs offense....you want any RB in this system. A lot can happen to Gurley's knees between now and week 13. By now, everyone's lineups should be set in terms of starters...so you're just looking for bye fillers and depth....but if your starters don'g go down, then that bench spot is worth a lotto ticket, imo. I Would be worried if Henderson started getting more involved though. Edited October 2, 2019 by tonycpsu Removed Cool Story 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in a deep league and am very thin at RB, so I'm one of those that spent a big chunk of FAAB on him after week 1. The part I bolded is pretty much 100% correct IMO. I expected some standalone value, like bye week or injury flex filler and that didn't happen but his major appeal to me was upside in the event of Gurley missing games. Whether he's worth a high waiver claim, that's team/league dependent I suppose. He was to me, but if you have good RB depth and/or short benches maybe not.

brosephd 1,330 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 maybe 2 losses in a row means to change up the attack? rbbc at least. the oline has been trash however but brown has looked good with opportunities. gurley isn't going as spry as before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
