St. Louis Rams offense, acute chronic immobility
Here's the way Michael Silver put it today: "In our fantasy-obsessed football universe … the unheralded fatties are the key to everything."
That's also true in circuses. And in college, for various reasons. But Silver's dead-on right, it's totally true in football. Fantasy owners tend to forget that on basically every play in the NFL, there are several 300-pound humans actively fighting. Winning and losing those fights is everything, and the Rams offensive line is broken right now. The short-term outlook for Marc Bulger (ribs) and every other skill position player for St. Louis is poor. You need alternatives, and soon.

This should be worse but because teams can run it they don't pass as much hence figure is down.

These RAMS are the poorest team in the NFL and go 0-16. It is possible
