3. Todd Gurley – RB – Los Angeles Rams

The NFL’s touchdown leader and third-leading rusher finds himself atop of this list to no ones surprise. The Rams seem to have found recent success by utilizing CJ Anderson more and more, but this doesn’t mean that Gurley becomes any less important to this offense. Gurley still ran for over 100 yards and a touchdown in their win against the Cowboys.

In the first Rams versus Saints matchup, Gurley failed to total more than 100 yards and couldn’t do much in the passing game either. If the Rams want to win this game, Gurley will have to get things going early to open up the passing game for Jared Goff and the rest of the Rams pass attack. Gurley has proved his worth all season long, but this weekend will need to be one of Gurley’s biggest games during the biggest game of his NFL career.
