It doesn't always make a ton of sense to handcuff running backs, but this time of year, it's not a bad idea to do so. And if you're going to stash a backup, it might as well be Todd Gurley's backup, Malcolm Brown.

The Los Angeles Rams have been pretty amazing this year, and so has Gurley. The system the team runs puts its running backs in extremely favorable positions and has been a major factor in Gurley's monster campaign.

If anything happened to Gurley, Brown would instantly become a fantasy factor.

Very few backup running backs out there on the wire can match Brown's upside, so if you have space on your bench, you should consider stashing him.
