Fantasy Football Update: Bulger Benched!

Fantasy Football Update: Bulger Benched!

St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger, who has been playing with two broken ribs, will be replaced by backup Gus Frerotte for Sunday's home game against Arizona.

This is good for fantasy football: Freotte makes a decent bye-week replacement option for people faced with the daunting thought of picking up Griese, Gerrard, Dilfer, or any other 'ick' choice at QB.

It's also great for teams that have Bulger on their roster. Bulger can be a very good starting fantasy QB - even when he is a little dinged-up! Combine that 'McNairish' quality with an opportunity now to rest for a couple of weeks (and wait for Steven Jackson's return,) and we may have a strong second-half performer!

The Ram's last 8 games include the Saints, 49ers, Seahawks, Falcons, Packers, Bengals, and Cardinals.
