By Nick Wagonerhttp://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/11469/morning-ram-blings-stacys-fantasy-value
EARTH CITY, Mo. — St. Louis Rams running back Zac Stacy was a highly sought draft pick in most fantasy football drafts and with good reason. After all, Stacy nearly rushed for 1,000 yards in about three quarters of a season.
Stacy didn’t engender much love from his fantasy owners Sunday when he rushed for 43 yards on 11 carries and the Rams gave carries to Benny Cunningham and Tavon Austin. But ESPN fantasy analyst Christopher Harris says it’s too early to panic about Stacy’s production.
Harris reasons that the Rams won’t struggle as much as they did against the Vikings every week and Stacy produced last season with a similar situation at quarterback. Both are fair points.
The real concern has to be whether the Rams will be able to get that running game revved up on a consistent basis. Stacy excelled against teams outside of the division but struggled in late-season road trips against NFC West foes. Now he and the Rams’ offense have a one-game snapshot of struggling against Minnesota.
The Rams look like they’re going to stick with Stacy for now but if they don’t get better blocking and more of a threatening passing attack, it won’t matter who is playing running back because none of them will be a good fantasy option.
