Avery looks like he'll play
News: Rams WR Donnie Avery practiced in full Friday with a rib injury and is probable for Week 8 at the Lions.

Our View: Avery had a nice long reception in Sunday;s loss to the Colts, and it was just enough to remind people of the potential he has. The Rams will need him healthy if they are going to get a win this season, and their best chance might be this week against the Lions.

Avery had two catches for 58 yards in the Rams' 42-6 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.
Impacts: He had already been dealing with a hip injury and got even more banged up, dealing with rib and shoulder problems. His status for Sunday's matchup with Detroit is unclear.

Donnie Avery has fully recovered from his bruised hip, and will play on Sunday against the Colts, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View: Obviously great news for the Rams, who are going to need all hands on deck to have any shot at pulling off the upset of the year. Start him against the Colts' top-ten pass defense if you dare.
Donnie Avery (hip) returned to a complete practice on Friday.

Avery limited on Thursday
Donnie Avery (hip) was limited in Rams practice on Thursday, according to the team.
Our View: This was at least better than Wednesday, when he did not practice at all. Even if he does suit up this weekend, though, he can't be considered a good play going up against the Colts' top-ten pass defense while not completely healthy.
Donnie Avery (hip) returned to practice in a limited fashion
Donnie Avery (hip) returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday. The progress is nice to see after Avery missed Wednesday's practice. The Rams are optimistic that Avery will play, so expect him to be listed as "probable" on Friday's injury report. [...]
Rams' Avery hopeful of playing
News: Woes at wide receiver prompted the St. Louis Rams to trade starting linebacker Will Witherspoon for an Eagles backup with no career receptions. That puts the heat on Donnie Avery, who'll try to shake off a bruised hip and get back on the field this week against the unbeaten Colts. The second-year wide receiver didn't practice Wednesday while restricted to off-field drills, but expects to be ready. Two days earlier, an MRI exam that revealed a bruise instead of a stress fracture provided a measure of relief for a player who toughed out a solid rookie season with a similar injury. "It's just a little hump in the road," Avery said. "I'm going to get over it, get out there and make plays. The best receivers, you're always going to have obstacles." Avery said he's been experiencing sharp pain when he tries to stretch out on a route but expects daily massages to reduce that. [...]

Avery questionable for Week 7
According to the Belleville News-Democrat, Donnie Avery (hip) did not practice on Wednesday
Our View: Avery was injured in Week 6, but practiced on Monday and Tuesday with no problems, so the fact that he was held out on Wednesday means something is wrong. His hip apparently tightened up and the Rams caoching staff wanted to be careful with him, so he got the day off. This puts his start on Sunday in question and limits his fantasy value.

Avery does not expect to miss time
Donnie Avery does not expect to miss any practice time after injuring his hip in Week 6 against Jacksonville, according to the Belleville News-Democrat.
Our View: The young receiver is day-to-day, and is just dealing with a bruised hip. He should be ready for Sunday's battle against Indianapolis, assuming he practices through the week.
Rams | Avery says he will not miss practice time
Steve Korte, of the Belleville News Democrat, reports St. Louis Rams WR Donnie Avery (hip) said he wouldn’t miss any practice time this week, according to head coach Steve Spagnuolo. Spagnuolo said, “He was talking about, ‘I’ll be out there practicing coach, I’ll be out there practicing.’â€

"They're calling it a bruise right now," Spagnuolo said. "I'm sure he's sore. I didn't see Donnie today, but he was already talking about getting out yesterday in the locker room. He was talking about, 'I'll be out there practicing coach, I'll be out there practicing.' That's him. ... He wants to come back. That's a good problem to have." [...]

Avery's injury just a bruise
An MRI on Donnie Avery's hip came back negative on Monday, and the young receiver is considered day-to-day, according to the team.
Our View: It's just a bruise. Great news for a struggling team. They are going to need all hands on deck against the 5-0 Colts this weekend if they want to have any shot, however minuscule, at winning.
The Rams are hoping that Avery's current hip injury isn't a
The Rams are hoping that Avery's current hip injury isn't a "replay" of the stress fracture that sidelined him for much of training camp last year, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

I'm just hoping for something positive and coming back out next week and playing." [...]

Avery to undergo MRI
Donnie Avery is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his ailing hip on Monday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View: X-rays on the hip came back negative, but the Rams are worried they could be dealing with a "replay" of the stress fracture that kept Avery out of most of his rookie training camp in 2008. He has recently started to play much better after a sluggish start to the season, so any injury would be a big blow to both him and the Rams.

Rams hope Avery can improve
News: Donnie Avery began living up to the St. Louis Rams' expectations when he scored last week against the Vikings. The second-year receiver had his best game of the season for the offense-deprived Rams last week with five receptions for 87 yards, and now he's looking for an encore. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo was happy with Avery's emergence, especially after his struggles to be a factor for a team averaging less than seven points per game, worst in the NFL. Avery leads the Rams with 18 receptions headed into this week's game at Jacksonville, where he'll play the league's 30th-ranked pass defense. "I thought he had some nifty little plays, and that's what we've been looking for out of Donnie," Spagnuolo said. "Certainly, if we can keep getting that and Donnie can keep progressing, it's going to help us." [...]

Avery had five catches for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Vikings.
Impacts: Avery had his best game of the season after catching just seven passes for 63 yards in his previous three games. With the quarterback situation uncertain in St. Louis between Kyle Boller and Marc Bulger, it's hard to tell what kind of production Avery will have.

Avery finds the end zone
Donnie Avery reeled in five catches for 87 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 loss to Minnesota.
Our View: This performance is easily the best of the season for Avery, who had been on a milk carton for the first four games of the year. Next week, the Rams head out on the road to face the Jaguars' pass defense, which ranks 31st (282 yards per game) in the league.

The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that wide receiver Donnie Avery is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Our View: Avery has been hampered by a hamstring injury and was limited in Friday's practice. Avery isn't a strong fantasy play when healthy and with the Rams starting Kyle Boller, playing the Vikings and Avery banged up he should remain on benches this week.

Donnie Avery was again limited in practice on Thursday as he deals with a hamstring injury, according to the team's official website.
Our View: Avery has just 109 receiving yards through his first four games, and with Kyle Boller and Marc Bugler both looking wholly incompetent at quarterback, his value could be severely limited all season.
Donnie Avery (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second

Rams wide receivers Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton were both limited in Wednesday's practice with hamstring injuries.
Our View: Neither of the Rams top two wideouts are good fantasy plays, especially against the Vikings. Now the fact that they're both banged up means they will provide even less. They should both get in the Week 5 game, but there are surely better options out there.

Avery wakes up from slumber
Donnie Avery had something resembling a "breakout" game on Sunday. The struggling second-year wideout reeled in three passes for 47 yards in the Rams' 35-0 loss to the 49ers.
Our View: He had just 16 receiving yards combined the past two weeks. While he's a nice young talent, playing in the Rams' nonexistent offense, he has next to no fantasy value.
Donnie Avery caught three passes for 47 yards in the Rams' Week
Donnie Avery caught three passes for 47 yards in the Rams' Week 4 loss. Avery is now the Rams' No. 1 receiver, but his quarterbacks just can't get him, let alone anyone else, the ball. [...]
Amendola slated for slot role
Danny Amendola has been promoted to the slot role as the No. 3 receiver in the Rams' aerial attack, according to John Czarnecki of FOX Sports.
Our View: Amendola will work alongside starting tandem Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton in three-receiver sets. Amendola has the physical tools to provide a spark to the Rams' offense, and is worth a look as a flier for deeper fantasy leagues.
