1. Todd Gurley

As frustrating as Austin’s fantasy performance was for owners, just imagine the level of frustration over the ones with Gurley on their squad.

After taking home Rookie of the Year honors last year, Gurley was an easy consideration for a first-round pick in all fantasy leagues, and there were a handful of league’s that saw the running back go No. 1–especially after his own recommendation.

No matter how hard he tried, Gurley just couldn’t find a way to get anything going against the 49ers’ defense after rushing for just 47 yards on 17 carries. Gurley only appeared in one of last year’s meetings against Seattle while rushing for 83 yards and a touchdown, but Los Angeles is going to need more out of their running back this time around.
