Coming off the toughest statistical game of his rookie ...

Dec 16, 2013

Coming off the toughest statistical game of his rookie season — 14 carries, 25 yards, 1.8 per carry in a road loss to the Arizona Cardinals — Zac Stacy bounced back in a big way Sunday, helping the Rams knock off the NFC South-leading New Orleans Saints 27-16 Sunday afternoon at the Edward Jones Dome.

The 5-foot-8, 214-pound Stacy had a career-high 28 carries, rushed for 133 yards and scored a career-long 40-yard run late in the first half that allowed the Rams to take a 24-3 lead to the break.

Stacy had 106 yards at halftime, setting a team rookie record.

All that after suffering a hip injury on the game’s first drive.

“I just took a shot ... (the doctors and trainers) fixed it up for me and I went back out there,’’ he said. “I’m a competitor. I want to get back on the field as much as I can to help this team and this organization be successful.’’

Fantasy Impact:

Stacy will get the Bucs for what is likely your fantasy finals in Week 16. He doesn't seem too concerned with the hip injury that kept him out of just one drive. It's not a great matchup yet again, but Stacy has been pretty solid since taking over as the Rams RB1 so he should be a worthy RB2 option.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
