Rams RB Tre Mason 'still expected to get the lion's share of the carries' early on

Even with Todd Gurley on the active roster, and potentially being available for opening day, the last thing the Rams want to do is rush him back. With that in mind Tre Mason, impressive as a rookie a year ago, is still expected to get the lion’s share of the carries early in the season. Benny Cunningham has proven to be a capable rotation player and third-down back.

Fantasy Impact: 

Mason was the #15 RB in PPR formats from Week 7 on, once he started to see heavy touches. Unfortunately for his fantasy value, the Rams drafted Gurley with the #10 overall pick, so Mason is not likely to hold onto the starting job for long. His fantasy stock will drop on the news that Gurley avoided PUP, so a Gurley/Mason combo looks like a good option on draft day for those not afraid for some uncertainty early in the season.

Fisher on Rams' RBBC: 'We may settle into something this week.'

During his career in Tennessee, Fisher usually had one running back carry most of the load. With the Rams, it's been more of a committee approach, although Zac Stacy settled into the main role for the final 12 games of the 2013 season.

This year, Stacy had 66 carries, Benny Cunningham 40 and rookie Tre Mason 30. Mason had had all his attempts in the last three games after being inactive for the first four games of the season.

Fisher hinted it could change. He said, "When they got their opportunities they all were productive. The average per carry is about the same. We'll see. We may settle into something this week."

Fantasy Impact: 

Reading between the lines, it sounds as if this committee could clear up this week, though a bad matchup with the 49ers doesn't help. We'd recommend that Mason owners hold another week to see if Fisher is referring to a scenario where the rookie is in the lead role. Despite what Fisher says, his YPC (5.2) is a good bit more than those of Benny Cunningham (4.1) and Zac Stacy (3.9), though the rookie is not trustworthy in pass protection.

Rams RB Benny Cunningham (knee, probable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is probable for Week 8. It looks like Cunningham will be around to complicate matters for Tre Mason owners. The Rams say they’re going to use all three of their running backs.

Rams Beat: Tre Mason will be given 'every opportunity to develop a hot hand'

Most likely, Rams RB Tre Mason will be given every opportunity to develop a hot hand vs. the Chiefs after his eye-opening display against Seattle. He brings a speed element and a higher potential for the explosive play than Zac Stacy and Benny Cunningham.

“(Mason) certainly played well last week,” OC Brian Schottenheimer said. “Popped a couple big runs. Some of it is that they haven’t seen him. Now teams get a better idea of what he’s about.

“I think there’s some things he needs to do, taking care of the football. Obviously that last play was a little scary, but wow, what a talented young man.”

Fantasy Impact: 

This is our feeling too, despite Jeff Fisher's comments that Zac Stacy could see 25 carries this week. Mason showed more pop than either Stacy or Benny Cunningham, who now has a mild knee issue. Mason isn't a safe start, but he has upside in a so-so matchup against the Chiefs.
