Rams | Zac Stacy needs push for 1,000 yards Wed Dec 11, 03:40 AM
St. Louis Rams RB Zac Stacy enters Week 15 with 721 rushing yards and is in pursuit of a 1,000-yard rushing season, which would make him just the third by a rookie in team history, joining Jerome Bettis in 1993 and Eric Dickerson in 1983. Eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark would require him to perform just beyond his per-game average of 79 yards in his nine starts this season.

Rams | Robert Quinn within reach of team record Wed Dec 11, 03:38 AM
St. Louis Rams DE Robert Quinn has been held out of the sack column for the past two weeks, but still leads the NFC with 13 sacks on the season. With a pair of three-sack games to his credit this year, Quinn remains in reach of Kevin Carter's 17 sacks in 1999, which remains the most since the franchise moved to St. Louis in 1995.

Rams | Shuffle offensive line Mon Dec 9, 09:05 PM
St. Louis Rams OT Joseph Barksdale was back to the bench in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals after starting 12 games. OG Harvey Dahl (knee) was back from injury after missing four games, and he stared at right guard. OT Rodger Saffold, who had been at right guard for the past three games, slid over to right tackle. 'Generally speaking, we're not going to demote a guy because of injury,' head coach Jeff Fisher said Monday, Dec. 9. 'We wanted to get Harvey an opportunity to play. He worked hard to come back.'
| Footballguys view: Barksdale looks like an All-Pro when he's in a three-point stance. It's what happens after the ball is snapped that makes him a below average option. The Rams have some talent, but they need some help up front. |
Rams | Tavon Austin is day-to-day Mon Dec 9, 09:04 PM
Updating a previous report, St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said Monday, Dec. 9, that WR Tavon Austin (ankle) is considered day to day this week.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy owners need to have other options here. Austin was a desperation flex play before this injury, and now he may not be worth starting even if he does get on the field. |
