I can't get carried away with Todd Gurley's hot start, though. A closer look at his three NFL seasons through three games: 2015: 66.3 PPR FPTS, 6.4 YPC, 2 total TDs 2016: 34.2 PPR FPTS, 2.9 YPC, 2 total TDs 2017: 85.1 PPR FPTS, 3.8 YPC, 6 total TDs What's made the difference in terms of fantasy production is scoring opportunity, as Gurley has eight touches within three yards of the goal line this year, compared to one (2015) and four (2016) in the other two sets. This feels a bit Melvin Gordon 2016-ish, except that their offenses aren't remotely comparable. It's encouraging from a "barely RB1" value standpoint, but I can't elevate Gurley further.

Todd Gurley's 37.9 PPR fantasy points last night were the 10th-most by any running back in a Thursday game since at least 1950, and they were the third-most by a running back on Thursday Night Football since it began in 2006, trailing Kareem Hunt's 45.6 in 2017 Week 1 and Brian Westbrook's 40.0 in 2008 Week 13.
