Samson Ebukam makes plays all over the field
by Christopher Bunch | Colts Correspondent | Thu, Sep 13th 4:43am EDT
Rams' LB Samson Ebukam had three solo tackles and one assisted tackle in their Week 1 matchup against the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact:
The stat sheet doesn't tell the story in this one, as Ebukam played well against the run and in coverage, and also got consistent pressure on Raiders' QB Derek Carr in pass-rush situations. Ebukam made a nice open-field tackle for minimal gain on a flare pass to Raiders' RB Marshawn Lynch in the flat. He also had good penetration in the backfield to tackle Lynch for a big loss, and helped tackle Raiders' WR Jordy Nelson for a minimal gain on a screen in the red zone. Ebukam showed exceptional effort all game long, frequently hustling back down the field to get in on the action after the ball was thrown and the play developed behind him. If Ebukam continues to play the way he did in Week 1, the fantasy production will follow.
