NFC West - St. Louis Rams

Next up, we take a look at the Saint Louis Rams

Marc Bulger, QB – With last year’s experience - and without Kurt Warner looking over his shoulder, Bulger should produce even more (as long as he can remember which color jersey he’s throwing to.) Given the Rams receiving corps, he should score more points than the last American Idol winner.

Chris Chandler, QB – Sitting behind Bulger will keep him sitting. About his only hope would be a phone call to Tanya Harding.

Marshall Faulk, RB – Rickety-Rack-Rack-Rack, Marshall’s knee is back. But, for how long? The artificial turf at home only makes it worse. Not the fantasy football “sure thing” he once was.

Steven Jackson, RB – Will back-up Faulk. Should see a fair amount of work even when Faulk is healthy.

Lamar Gordon – Lamar did an adequate job filing in for Faulk last year. Rams will use him sparingly in case they need him late in the season.

Arlen Harris, RB – A move to Fullback will limit his value.

Dane Looker, WR – Good

Isaac Bruce, WR – Better

Torry Holt, WR – Best. Virtually any Rams receiver is a safe choice (unless, of course Bulger does get inured – then you are screwed!)

Jeff Wilkins, K – One of the best. First in points, third in accuracy.

Rams Defense – A strong secondary could be hurt by a poor pass rush, especially if Leonard Little is busy sitting in an alcohol education course instead of playing.
