I am in the same boat deciding between Gurley or Robinson. In your case I would lock in West.
I tis so tough to bench Gurley, but against Seattle. However... St.Louis does have Seattle's number and plays them well.
standard yahoo non-ppr league
i can start 3 of these RBs, which ones would you choose out of:
D. Williams @ BAL (my only lock)
C. West vs. CLE
T. Gurley @SEA
E. Lacy @ARI
D. Robinson @NO
C. Michael vs. STL
I feel like Williams, West, and maybe Robinson is the right call.
But should i really bench Gurley?
Thanks for your help

You can't bench Gurley here imo. Tough matchup for sure but he has game breaking ability.
I run Williams, Gurley and Robinson. West is good, but Ware is expected back this week. I would only charge out West in place of Robinson if Ware is held out this week. If Ware plays, it's too much of a time share and Ware is the one who gets short yardage and goal-line work.
I'm thinking to start Gurley, he only needs 1 break and he can pull off a long TD run at any point. Just hope Seattle doesnt get too far ahead early on.
I guess you shouldn't overthink things sometimes.
I'll be sure to monitor the Ware situation to see if he plays.
Thanks to both of you.
I know i stockpiled a lot of RBs but i wanted to block my opponents from picking them up mostly.
the manager i'm facing in the finals has McCoy on the shelf and i didnt leave him much in the FA pool for a decent replacement. So far he's left with starting Ajayi and Bolden. He's got good WRs though

Williams, West and Robinson is who I'd play.
It's not just that the Seahawks present a tough matchup. It's that it couldn't be worse. That's the #3 rush defense in the league. And a team that's been positively lighting it up offensively for the past month. At home, where they play much better, and an environment that is notoriously tough for the opposition. Gurley has talent, sure. But he hasn't proven himself capable yet of just taking this game over by himself against a superior opponent when the rest of his team struggles. Could he have a big day? Sure. He's quite good. It's just unlikely is all.
Contrast that against West and Robinson who play the #31 and #32 rush defenses, respectively. And in situations where game script should have their teams stay committed to the run throughout.
They sure ain't sexy like Gurley is, but I'd put my money on West and Robinson outperforming Gurley this week. At least, they would appear to have a much better chance for big days -- and their floors should be higher this week in any event -- than Gurley on the road in an atrocious matchup.
Just my two cents. Good luck!

I'm starting Williams, West, and Robinson here.. Love Gurley, but not against Seattle..
If your really feeling Gurley, then sit Robinson for him..
