Production in the fantasy game, as well as the real-life gridiron, is largely dependent upon the situation presented to the player.

Is Todd Gurley Done in Dynasty?

Done is a strong word. When we say a player is "done," we're usually making a judgment of a player's game right now, as in "yeah, Tom Brady is done," which means "2020 Tom Brady is going to stink."
