Week 9: Stacy vs. 49ers
Zac Stacy rushed five times for 17 yards and caught 3-of-4 targets for 20 yards in the Rams’ Week 8 loss to the Chiefs. One week after playing just one snap against the Seahawks, Stacy shared carries with both Tre Mason (seven carries, 32 yards) and Benny Cunningham (four carries, 27 yards). Once viewed as the clear starter in St. Louis, Stacy is now rotating series with the other two backs. The bottom line is that the backfield situation in St. Louis is a mess and should be avoided. Mason has the most upside of any back on the roster but he can’t be trusted to be a weekly starter. Leave Stacy, who ranks as our NO. 43 overall RB for Week 9, on your bench.
