Cunningham used in committee fashion in home opener

Benny Cunningham Jr. (RB - FA)

Benny Cunningham had 5 carries for 21 yards (4.2 YPC) and 4 catches on 4 targets for 30 yards in the Rams' home opener against Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact
Cunningham's 51 yards from scrimmage matches lead back Zac Stacy's 51 yards. Cunningham looked the fresher, quicker runner, and was used more frequently in the passing game. With the defense not able to keep the Rams in the game, the Rams may have to turn to the passing game down the line, which in turn may give Cunningham some bye-week replacement value later on in the season.
