Well shit...I had totally forgotten that a month ago it seemed like a done deal Gurley was coming to Baltimore, but it never materialized. I'll bet that changes soon, and the mad rush on Gus won't bear substantial fruit until week 8 or so when Gurleys knees give it
Im fairly confident that if gurley goes to bmore, gus is the main ball carrier.

Gurley couldn’t tie Gus’ cleats. ;)

etienne going down boosts his stock a good bit IMHO. Think a fair amount of the workload pegged for etienne goes to shenault.
Also, you gotta think they will be down early and big all season long. TL might have a huge season yards wise just by that simple fact which could lead to Shenault absolutely racking up points.

Love Shenualt, dude is a beast..his only issue is his ability to be available. With the ball in his hands, he's a Derrick Henry style runner, but in a WR's body. He's always going to have a bunch of missed games.

yeah, i think folks are really dismissing DJ chark and marvin jones though.......garbage time perhaps, but they are gonna have a role, chark especially.....and james robinson. Can they support 4 fantasy skill position players? Think Jones is the odd man out, but make no mistake, hes gonna get some.....may be a headache.

It'll boil down to just how good Lawrence is and if Urban Meyer can scheme at this level..pretty big unknowns.

I'm of the opinion that only Robinson and Chark are worthy of every week starter status. Jones and Shenualt both will be flex/bye week type options where hopefully that's a week where it's "thier turn" for a good game. And that's IF Lawrence and Meyer are successful at the NFL level. Anything more is expecting far too much from a rookie QB and rookie head coach, regardless of who they are

Yeah I have Jones in one league but just as a deep bench player, they do have some nice weapons for TL. With that OL it could be a real struggle at times

I dont believe there is a difference between Chark and Shenault, now like you said injuries could kill Shenault but talent wise I could them being 1a and 1b. It also depends on the chemistry between the 2. Chark hasn’t played any of preseason right? Shenault is playing with TL and they already look like they are on the same page. We will see

Talent wise I'll take Shenualt any day and twice on Sunday. I think he could be a member of the elite..based solely on talent.

100% agree with that assessment.

So apparently Gurley isn't even a better option than Ty'Son Williams now. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

NFL reported Josina Anderson said the Ravens aren't "expected to pursue Todd Gurley, at this time."​

Gurley visited with the Ravens in June, fueling speculation that the team could sign him after losing J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending knee injury. Anderson reports the Ravens are comfortable with their running back depth chart, which now features Gus Edwards at the top and preseason star Ty'Son Williams as the No. 2 RB. Edwards' ADP will rocket into the fourth or fifth round of 12-team drafts following Dobbins' injury.
