Zac Stacy collects 78 yards and a calf injury
by B.J. O'Rourke | Tue, Oct 7th 1:39pm EDT
Zac Stacy ran for 42 yards on 11 carries (3.82 YPC) and caught 4 balls for 36 yards in the Rams' 34-28 loss to Philadelphia. In the third quarter, Stacy coughed up a fumble and injured his calf on the same play. He did not return, and was only in the game on 39% of the snaps. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
Fantasy Impact:
Coach Jeff Fisher is hopeful that Stacy will be available for next Monday night's tilt at home with San Francisco but has said he will miss some practice time. Several aspects are troubling here...a RB who is clearly not a featured back with a lower leg injury going up against a defense giving up the fewest fantasy points to RBs on a Monday night. In this scenario, Stacy cannot be treated as much more than a FLEX option, and a shaky one at best. I am currently looking for better flex options and so should you, as Stacy's schedule is brutal over the next few weeks. The identity of this team is also shifting towards a more pass-friendly approach, and even though Stacy does catch passes, Benny Cunningham is the team's preferred passing down back.
