St. Louis Rams
July 6th, 2007 | by aaron |The Rams finished .500 last season, Bulger wants more money/long-term deal, and Steven Jackson is talking about breaking the 2500 yard mark. A tremendous amount of fantasy production on this franchise and considering the Rams face bad defenses within there division, this team could have the most fantasy value throughout the entire NFL. I believe the Rams are on a mission this year to prove they are back on top in the NFC.
Steven Jackson: How can Jackson slip to the number 3-4 selection? He can’t, so unless you have a trick up your sleeve or the 1-3 picks in the draft, you better come prepared to select the next best player. Nothing to say about Jackson that we already don’t know. Therefore, do not be surprised if Jackson leads all RB’s in total fantasy production. If you’re in a league that awards total receptions, Jackson could be #1 overall for 2007.
Marc Bulger: While improving every season Bulger remains one of the top-tiered QB’s in the NFL . With great weapons surrounding him look for another properous season where he should throw 30 TD’s and pass for over 4,000 yards. Definitely a starter on any fantasy franchise.
Torry Holt: One of the best in the game. Holt should be one of the top 5-6 WR’s taken in your draft. This season I expect more yards than his 2006 season where he only posted 1188yards and 10 td’s.
DEFENSE: In terms of fantasy it doesn’t matter how the defense plays this season. If they’re drafted you will only use them once during the entire season and that will be during your other defenses bye week.
Drew Bennet: Third receiver option on St. Louis and even though he’s worthy of a fantasy draft selection, Bennet won’t get much action on your roster unless you have injuries. Late round selection!
Jeff Wilkins: There aren’t many kickers out performing this guy. Wilkins always has opportunities to score and definitely worthy of a draft selection. In the upper-echelon of kickers in the NFL and the same should apply for any fantasy league.
Isaac Bruce: Bruce has slowed a little but he’s been slowing down for years now. Bruce is no longer a #1 option at this position, but he will add depth to your roster as a 3rd receiver. You should not select Bruce until the later rounds.

I agree with you that Stephen Jackson is better than the #3 or #4 player but his stiff, up high running style worries me. Laurence Maroney is similar - both are great runners who could become this next generations HOF running backs - or both could experience some serious ups & downs due to injuries. At any rate, I wouldn’t pass on Jackson at #2 - I think he’s a clear #2 overall.
