NFL 2018: Top 12 0.5 PPR NFL Fantasy Running Backs

#2 Todd Gurley - L.A Rams - 2017 total = 351.3 pts

St Louis Rams v Seattle Seahawks

Gurley comes in a close 2nd on my list. His 2017 was phenomenal, totaling 1305 rushing yards, 788 receiving yards and a total of 19 touchdowns. Each week he carried your fantasy team with big score after big score. His 2017 performance was in stark contrast to his underwhelming 2016 output, which was down to a few factors. Firstly, Jared Goff's improved play meant defences couldn't just stack the box against Gurley, and secondly, Sean McVay took over as head coach of the Rams in 2017. His play calling on offence kept defences guessing all year round and Gurley took advantage of this. He looked like the player he was in his rookie season in the NFL. Quick, elusive and making all the right decisions.

If you're wondering why I have Gurley behind Bell, it's because I can see a bit of regression in the TD column this season. His 6 receiving TDs led all RBs, and I think he will have a few less this year. Never the less, Todd Gurley is an elite running back in the NFL and I expect another stellar season from him this year.
