Here are some players from the St. Louis Rams you should consider drafting when it comes to your fantasy football team this fall.
QB-Nick Foles: The Rams finally have a viable quarterback who can put up some quality numbers when it comes to fantasy. Foles doesn’t have the best wide receiving core around him, but Foles will still be able to put up good numbers. Foles could start as a QB2 in your league but eventually he could and should evolve into a QB1.
RB-Tre Mason: Mason put up good numbers near the end of the season last year and will likely be the opening day starter for the Rams. He is a good RB1 or RB2 but beware of his droppage in carries once Todd Gurley is healthy.
RB-Todd Gurley: If you are able to draft Gurley pretty late in your fantasy draft you’re going to get a steal. Gurley probably won't be healthy for opening day, but once he is healthy later on in the season, watch out. He can be an elite running back and put up some great numbers in his rookie campaign.
WR-Tavon Austin: Austin has been overhyped in past seasons, but now with a new quarterback and offensive coordinator at the helm he should flourish. Since Tavon Austin is the number one option at wide receiver you should expect a breakout year.
WR-Stedman Bailey: The last two seasons Stedman Bailey has put up his best games near the end of the year. With a better and more consistent quarteback behind center expect him to put it all together.
Rams-D/SP: The Rams have one of the best defenses in the NFL; it’s what’s kept them in various ballgames the last few seasons. You can’t expect much from their return game on special teams to put up points but the defense sure will.
K-Greg Zuerlein: A kicker isn’t going to be the difference maker on your team, let’s be honest here. But "Greg the Leg" has a great leg and especially when kicking in the dome, he’s as close to automatic as it gets.
Good luck with your drafting! Tweet me questions or comments: @Bowen_ACS
