STL RB Zac Stacy - Week 5, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5: Stacy vs. Eagles
Zac Stacy rushed 12 times for 67 yards and added five catches for 54 yards in the Rams' Week 3 loss to the Cowboys. It was a good sign for fantasy owners that have become frustrated not knowing Stacy's role in the Rams' backfield. While things could change in a blink, he cemented himself as the team's leader in a committee that also includes Benny Cunningham and Trey Watts. Stacy ranks as our No. 15 overall RB for Week 5, making him a decent RB2 option.

STL RB Zac Stacy - Week 3, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3: Stacy vs. Cowboys
Zac Stacy rushed 19 times for 71 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 19-17 win over the Buccaneers last Sunday. He only averaged 3.7 yards per carry and also lost a fumble, but he out-touched Benny Cunningham 19-7. He might not be a dynamic fantasy option this season, but Stacy still makes for a decent RB2 in standard formats as he'll continue to be St. Louis' main back. He's our No. 14 overall RB for Week 3 and should be viewed as a RB2 against Dallas.

STL RB Zac Stacy - Week 2, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2: Stacy vs. Bucs
Zac Stacy rushed for just 43 yards on 11 carries in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the Bucs. He split carries with Benny Cunningham in warm ups and it appears as though the Rams are heading for more of a 60/40 split with their RBs. Even though Cunningham only rushed for 21 yards on five carries, he looked like the more explosive back and could garner more carries this Sunday versus Tampa Bay. The best-case scenario for the Rams is that, unlike last weekend against the Vikings, they're able to establish their ground game and average around 30 running plays per contest. But given their shaky situation at quarterback, teams are going to load the box and dare the Rams to throw the ball, just as Minnesota did last week. That spells trouble for Stacy, who is more of a RB2 or 3 right now than an RB1. He ranks as our No. 30 overall RB for Week 2 as he faces one of the better run defenses in the league in Tampa Bay.

STL RB Stacy Zac - Week 1, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1: Stacy vs. Vikings
Zac Stacy owners started to worry a bit when they saw Benny Cunningham get extensive time in the Rams' third preseason game, but Stacy remains the starter. Cunningham and maybe even rookie Tre Mason will eat into Stacy's carries, but there will be plenty of touches to go around in the Rams' run-first offense. Stacy ranks as our No. 12 overall RB for Week 1, making him a low-end RB1. He should get the first crack at the team's goal line carries.

STL RB Zac Stacy - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
There was talk early in camp that rookie Tre Mason could compete for a starting job in St. Louis' backfield but Stacy remains "the guy" for the Rams. Once he emerged as the starter last season, the Rams ditched their plans to be a spread offense and went back to Jeff Fisher's roots, which is pounding the ball on the ground. (The team's offensive transformation happened before Sam Bradford suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 7.) Despite receiving just 250 carries, Stacy (973) nearly rushed for 1,000 yards in his rookie campaign and also reached paydirt seven times. He wasn't a huge factor in the passing game but added 26 catches for 141 yards and a score through the air as well. Mason and Benny Cunningham will eat into Stacy's carries this season but the Rams could average 30-plus rushing attempts a game and thus, there will be plenty of carries to go around.

Fantasy Downside
While some owners focus on Cunningham and Mason potentially stealing carries, the bigger underlying concern for Stacy is that he's a physical runner and is prone to getting nicked up. He suffered a hip injury towards the end of the season last year and also suffered a concussion in a Week 12 win over the Bears. Granted, he didn't wind up missing any time but given his physical nature, Stacy owners may have to hold their breath from time to time when it comes to injuries.

Bottom Line
Stacy ranks as our 12th RB in standard and 14th RB in PPR formats heading into the 2014 season. He's going in the third round in both leagues despite being a solid, low-end RB1. He's going to get plenty of carries in the Rams' run-first offense and despite the presence of guys like Mason and Cunningham, he's an established starter that the team is going to lean on to set the tone of the offense. While he could see more eight-men in the box following Sam Bradford's season-ending injury, the fact remains that the Rams are going to lean heavily on Stacy and their running game this year. Draft him with confidence.
