We can learn a lot about how the modern day NFL values running backs based on Todd Gurley's release from the Los Angeles Rams after they unsuccessfully sought trade opportunities for weeks.
Two years removed from winning Offensive Player of the Year, Gurley couldn't be unloaded. Of course, he's not 100%, and he's got a massive contract to deal with, but hey, I'm just here for the fantasy football side of this conversation.
While it's very true that running backs may not be valued at top dollar and as must-keep franchise cornerstones, we still know that they matter plenty for our fantasy football teams.
