Mark Clayton

Brandon Lloyd dealt to the Rams

The Denver Broncos will trade wide receiver Brandon Lloyd to the St. Louis Rams, NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reports, citing a league source.

It was widely reported last week the Broncos were open to dealing Lloyd and shopped around ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Rams, San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots were all known to be in discussions with the Broncos, sources told The Denver Post.

Lloyd, 30, is scheduled to make $1.395 million this season. He led the league last season with 1,448 yards on 77 receptions and scored 11 touchdowns.

Lloyd has 19 catches for 283 yards and no touchdowns this season.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Rams offense has struggled getting off the ground, and Josh McDaniels is obviously familiar with Brandon Lloyd from his time in Denver. Lloyd should step in as the WR1, but we don't see a mid-season change of scenery as a huge boost to his fantasy value.

Danario Alexander will likely be the two with Brandon Gibson taking a back seat and Mike Sims-Walker (healthy scratch) possibly being released. Mark Clayton doesn't look to be a factor at this point. This could help Sam Bradford, but could take some time. One thing the Rams do have going for them is an easier schedule moving forward.

This is good news for Eric Decker in Denver, and also could be a signal that 2nd year WR Demaryius Thomas is ready to make an impact.

With only one productive game this season (six catches against the New York Giants), and after dropping two passes in Game 4 against Washington, Mike Sims-Walker was yanked from the starting lineup and placed on the pregame inactive list. Sims-Walker, a free agent from Jacksonville, was working with the scout team by the end of the practice week, running the routes of Green Bay receivers for the Rams' starting defense.

"The young guys, we thought we'd give a chance there," coach Steve Spagnuolo said.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story points out that Brandon Gibson, Danario Alexander, and rookie Greg Salas combined for 18 catches for 211 yards. In addition, rookie tight end Lance Kendricks added four catches for 71 yards. The team hasn't been impressed with Sims-Walker and is looking to these younger guys to see what they have. The team is also rumored to be in the market for WR Brandon Lloyd of Denver before the trade deadline.

Rams WR Danario Alexander should see more snaps after his outstanding performance against the Giants on Monday night, assuming his knee holds up.

He said Thursday that he feels fine. He has to manage his knee, but he is hoping for more playing time in Sunday's home game against Baltimore (1-1).

"Yeah, I would love to be out there for more plays," said Alexander. "I'll just keep pushing forward. I don't have any pain. I manage it and the coaches are always watching. I want to stay fresh for the game."

Alexander has earned more playing time, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said.

"Danario had a great game and he's had a good week in practice," McDaniels said. "He's earned the right to be out there more certainly. We're excited about what he can do."

Coach Steve Spagnuolo acknowledged Alexander brings a different dimension to the offense.

"He's a big-play guy, a big, tall receiver," Spagnuolo said. "I think Sam likes throwing to him. He's done some productive things. We'll get him in there more and more. We all know what he's battling.

"I watch him all day. It's amazing what he does from a physical standpoint with the injury he has. He'll never tell you he has anything wrong but he does have to manage it."

Fantasy Impact: 

The fact that Alexander was inactive for W1 underscores his injury history. He's a big play guy, so don't be surprised if he has a goose egg now and then if he and Sam Bradford fail to hook up on a deep pass.

When St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danario Alexander was sidelined during training camp, doctors gave him the option of having another operation, an arthroscopic clean-up procedure on his troublesome left knee. He declined.

"I wanted to make sure I made this team," he said. "If I would've had my knee scoped, I couldn't have gone out there every day and practiced, and that would've hurt my chances. I felt like since it's not altering me or hurting me or anything, I can keep playing through it."

A sixth surgery or not, Alexander's knee never will get better, according to Rams head trainer Reggie Scott.

"He does have a lot of degenerative changes," Scott said. "That means things over time, wear and tear, that are not going to change. So we're trying to maintain what we have. And he understands that."

Fantasy Impact: 

It's a shame the knee has cast a spell over Alexander's promising career. With St. Louis having upgraded at the receiver spot, he's off the radar in redraft leagues. And he's no longer a legitimate dynasty league prospect.
