St. Louis Rams C Jason Brown (knee) practiced Friday, Sept. 25, and he is listed as probable for Week 3. He will start the team’s game.

Bill Coats, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams C Jason Brown (knee, ankle) was officially listed as limited in practice Wednesday, Sept. 23, but he appeared to take every snap with the first team.

Though Rams C Jason Brown (sprained knee) is considered day-to-day, he's expected to practice on Wednesday. Brown and rookie Jason Smith both suffered sprained knees in Sunday's game. Smith is officially considered doubtful for this week, but the Rams got good news on Brown. Adam Goldberg will fill in at right tackle for Smith.Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch Related: Jason Smith

News: Cardinals kicker Josh Brown converted his only field goal attempt in Week 10 against New Orleans, a 32-yard try. He also made two extra point attempts and finished with five points.

Analysis: Brown does not have more than eight points in any game this season. He does kick in doors, but the Rams offense does not put him in enough situations to succeed as a Fantasy kicker. He is not a recommended play for Week 11 against Arizona

News: Josh Brown's first NFL pass was not a thing of beauty but he doesn't care about style points. The St. Louis Rams' kicker was named the NFC's special teams player of the week Wednesday after a game that saw him kick a 41-yard field goal but also throw a 36-yard touchdown pass to tight end Daniel Fells. Well, throw might be overstating it a bit. It was more of a flip on a fake field goal attempt that helped the Rams end a 17-game losing streak with a 17-10 victory over Detroit. Brown, who was a running back playing eight-man football at Foyil (Okla.) High School, said he considered trying to run for a first down. Instead, he sort of shot-putted the ball to Fells, who broke one tackle en route to the end zone. "I didn't really even use my shoulder on that throw," Brown said. "I wasn't trying to make it pretty, just effective."

Analysis: Brown, who is in his seventh season, to some razzing from his teammates. "Everybody has been busting me on," Brown said. "If you're looking for style points, there were definitely none awarded. But, you know, we got six points out of it and results are the only thing that matters." In about 30 years, Brown said the throw may look better when he's describing his touchdown pass to his grandkids. "Nothing wrong with a little embellishment," Brown said. Brown's touchdown pass might be one of the few bright moments he has in 2009. The Rams offense is still struggling, so Brown remains a low-end Fantasy flier

Brown was named the NFC's special teams player of the week Wednesday after a game that saw him kick a 41-yard field goal but also throw a 36-yard touchdown pass to tight end Daniel Fells.

Even though more names than usual were on the trading block, little happened before the deadline. The Chiefs and Rams were the only teams to get value. The Chiefs traded backup nose tackle Tank Tyler to the Panthers for a fifth-round pick because they felt comfortable with Ron Edwards as their nose tackle.

Avery had four receptions for 67 yards and two touchdowns during the Rams' loss to New Orleans in Week 10.

Spin: It was easily Avery's best game of the season and one has to wonder if this will be remembered as a turning point game or if Avery disappears for another two or three games. Because of the latter option we wouldn't be throwing him into your line-ups just yet. Remember that in his last two games prior he caught just three passes for 73 yards.Sun, Nov 15

News: Rams WR Donnie Avery caught four passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns in Week 10 against New Orleans. He doubled his touchdown total with the performance.

Analysis: Avery had a combined four catches in his previous three games combined. The Rams offense looked suddenly vibrant and alive in Week 10 against the Saints and it could be a sign of things to come down the stretch. Even still, we don't recommend Avery as anything more than a No. 3 receiver in deeper leagues for Week 11 against Arizona. He is best saved as a reserve to be used as an injury-replacement when facing a favorable matchup. You can't rely on him to score two touchdowns every week

Donnie Avery had four receptions for 67 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 10 loss to the Saints.

Our View: Avery has posted three or fewer receptions in six of nine games this season, but he has scored four touchdowns in the last five games. Obviously, this was a nice performance but it's a leap of faith to start Avery on a weekly basis. However, we really like this kid in dynasty formats.

Marc Bulger had a decent outing in Sunday's 23-20 OT loss at Jacksonville, as he completed 22-of-34 passes for 213 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

Our View: Bulger likely had a good enough performance to hold off Kyle Boller for the No. 1 role at quarterback. The Rams were leading 10-6 after three quarters, but were outscored 14-10 in the fourth quarter to push the battle into overtime.

Boller (concussion) is active for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

Spin: Boller is healthy enough to play, but Marc Bulger is expected to get the start.Sun, Oct 18

St. Louis Rams QB Kyle Boller (concussion) practiced Friday, Oct. 16. He is listed as probable for Week 6 and will be the No. 2 quarterback.

Jackson had 131 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and totaled a season-high 176 yards from scrimmage in the Rams' 28-23 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.

Impacts: Jackson has 6,206 yards in his sixth season, passing Lawrence McCutcheon (6,186) for third on the franchise career list. He's still worth a start every week despite the Rams' ugly record.

Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson moved up to third place on the Rams' all-time rushing list in Week 10. Jackson finished the game with 6,206 career yards and moved ahead of former NFL RB Lawrence McCutcheon, who rushed for 6,186 yards in his Rams career.

Jackson carried the ball 26 times for 131 yards and one touchdown and also had nine receptions for 45 yards in the Rams' loss to the Saints in Week 10.

Spin: Another huge week for Jackson who just piles up the yards while his club piles up losses. The good news is Marc Bulger played very good on Sunday and if he can regain his past pro bowl form it should lead to a lot more holes for Jackson to run through.Sun, Nov 15

St. Louis Rams OG John Greco (wrist) was taken off the team’s injury report Friday, Sept. 25. He will be the team’s No. 3 offensive tackle for Week 3.

St. Louis Rams OL John Greco (wrist) missed the team’s practice Thursday, Sept. 17, and he is not expected to play in Week 2.

St. Louis Rams OL John Greco (wrist) underwent wrist surgery earlier this week and is expected to miss two to three games.

Smith is healthy again, but the No. 2 overall pick in the April draft won't start Sunday when the winless St. Louis Rams play at Jacksonville.

Impacts: Coach Steve Spagnuolo says Friday that Adam Goldberg will start at right tackle, though Smith will see some playing time against the Jaguars (2-3). The Rams (0-5) will try to snap a 15-game losing streak, the longest in the NFL.

Rams rookie RT Jason Smith (knee) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and appears close to returning to the field. Smith, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, hurt his knee in Week 2. Adam Goldberg has been filling in at right tackle. The Rams issue hasn't really been pass protection as they've given up a respectable 12 sacks in five games.Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch Related: Adam Goldberg

News: Rams TE Randy McMichael caught two passes for 30 yards in Week 10 against New Orleans. He was targeted five times in the game.

Analysis: McMichael has had more than two catches just three times this season and he has not had more than four catches in a game. He has yet to reach 50 yards in a game and has not scored a touchdown. He remains just a last-resort option for Week 11 vs. Arizona

McMichael had two receptions for 30 yards during the Rams' Week 10 loss to the Saints.

Spin: That's about par for the course for McMichael who now has 20 receptions for 201 yards and zero touchdowns on the season. The fact that No. 2 tight end Daniel Fells seems to be the primary tight end target at the goal line (three touchdowns) even makes McMichael less viable as a fantasy option.Sun, Nov 15

News: Rams TE Randy McMichael has sore ribs, but X-ray tests came back clean Monday. The Rams have their bye this week, so McMichael is expected to be ready for the next game in Week 10 vs. New Orleans.

Analysis: McMichael had two catches in Week 8 against the Lions for 16 yards. Keep an eye on his progress during the bye week and hope he's ready for the Saints game. When healthy, McMichael is a No. 2 Fantasy TE

News: Rams TE Billy Bajema caught just one pass for 12 yards in Week 10 against New Orleans. He was targeted just once in the game.

Analysis: Bajema does not get many looks in the offense and as a result Fantasy owners should not consider him a viable Fantasy option

Bajema caught one pass for 15 yards during the Rams' loss to New Orleans in Week 10.

Spin: Bajema remains the club's No. 3 tight end and shouldn't be targeted in even the deepest of leagues.Sun, Nov 15

Bajema caught two passes for 43 yards during the Rams' Week 8 win over the Lions.

Spin: They were Bajema's first receptions of the year which is surprising because he had such a solid preseason. He remains the club's No. 3 tight end behind Randy McMichael and Daniel Fells.Mon, Nov 2

Amendola (concussion) does not appear on Wednesday's injury report.

Spin: Amendola was starting to garner some fantasy attention before suffering a concussion in Week 8. He might not be worth adding, but it couldn't hurt to keep an eye on him since the Rams' depth chart at WR is in a state of perpetual motion.Wed, Nov 11

Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams WR Danny Amendola (concussion) participated in the team’s practice Monday, Nov. 9, and he is expected to play Week 10.

Danny Amendola (concussion) returned to Rams practice on Monday, and is expected to play against the Saints this weekend, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View: Amendola gets a few targets in the Rams' passing "attack," but is used more often on special teams. He has no current fantasy value.

Rams franchise player O.J. Atogwe is a player that likes to take risks; he's forced 33 turnovers since the start of 2006, the most in the NFL. Apparently, the Canadian born player's risk-taking extends beyond the field.49ers coach Mike Singletary...

Rams signed franchise player O.J. Atogwe to a one-year, $6.342 million contract. The sides will likely try to hammer out a long-term deal after the season. Atogwe, 28, is one of the league's most underrated players. A true ballhawk, the free safety's 32 turnovers caused are the most in the NFL since 2006. He'll line up near the line of scrimmage more in St. Louis' new aggressive scheme and should be one of the top IDP DBs off the board in drafts.

Rams FS O.J. Atogwe will sign his one-year franchise tender on Wednesday, according to The Sporting News' Albert Breer. That means no long-term deal is in the works, at least until after this season. Atogwe attended all voluntary workouts, indicating that he won't hold out of training camp. The fifth-year safety will collect $6.342 million in 2009.Source: The Sporting News

Bartell, who has struggled with a thigh injury for nearly two months, said he hasn't felt this good in weeks, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Spin: Bartell, the Rams' No. 1 cornerback, has also had to struggle through a concussion during the first half of the season. The fact that his thigh is feeling better is great news for a secondary that has been decimated by injuries already this year.Thu, Nov 12

Rams CB Ron Bartell (concussion) has resumed practicing in full. The Rams will need all hands on deck with the red-hot Peyton Manning & Co. coming to town this week.

Bartell (concussion) received medical clearance and participated fully in Wednesday's practice, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Spin: Bartell, the Rams' No. 1 corner, suffered the mild concussion in overtime of the club's Week 6 game at Jacksonville. His return is very welcome as the club desperately needs all it's primary weapons on defense to have any shot at upending the red-hot Colts on Sunday.Thu, Oct 22

The St. Louis Rams have declared CB Danny Gorrer, LB Dominic Douglas, QB Keith Null, DL Leger Douzable, OT Phillip Trautwein, OG Richie Incognito, OG Roger Allen, WR Ruvell Martin inactive for Week 10.

Week 10 inactives: QB Keith Null (3rd), OG Richie Incognito, DT Leger Douzable, WR Ruvell Martin, DB Danny Gorrer, LB Dominic Douglas, OG Roger Allen, and OT Phil Trautwein.

Our View: Overall, the Rams have a clean bill of health coming out of their bye week. One key note, OG Jacob Bell (thumb) is active and will start, which is good news for RB Steven Jackson.

Rams signed CB Danny Gorrer off the Saints' practice squad. An undrafted free agent this offseason, Gorrer was a two-year starter at Texas A&M.Source: St. Louis Rams on Twitter

Bill Coats, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams DT LaJuan Ramsey took a bulk of the snaps at defensive tackle with the first-team defense during practice Wednesday, Oct. 14.

Rams DT LaJuan Ramsey got most of the work with the starters in practice Wednesday. Ramsey will get the first crack at replacing Gary Gibson (ankle), who is out for the season. Third-round rookie Dorell Scott will also take reps. St. Louis is highly vulnerable up the middle with SS James Butler (knee) questionable for Week 6.

Expect a bounce-back game for Maurice Jones-Drew.Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch Related: Maurice Jones-Drew, Dorell Scott

The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that new addition LaJuan Ramsey got the majority of the work with the starters in Wednesday's practice.

Our View: Ramsey looks like the favorite to replace DL Gary Gibson, who is out for the season with a foot injury. The Rams are a nightmare on defense and are thin up the middle with Adam Carriker out for the season, so don't expect Ramsey to make a huge difference.

The St. Louis Rams placed Gibson on injured reserve with a broken ankle Monday, meaning he will miss the remainder of the season.

Impacts: Gibson was hurt during Sunday's 38-10 loss to Minnesota and will have surgery. Gibson, who had 12 tackles this season, was replaced on the roster by wide receiver Tim Carter Monday.

Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams DT Gary Gibson (foot, ankle) has been placed on Injured Reserve, ending his 2009 season.

Bill Coats, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams LB Larry Grant will start at strongside linebacker in Week 7.

The St. Louis Rams' Twitter page reports St. Louis Rams LB Larry Grant (ribs) has bruised ribs, but is expected to be fine.

News: Rams LB Larry Grant totaled two tackles and one sack during a Week 4 loss to the 49ers. Rams DE Chris Long bull rushed 49ers LT Joe Staley, considered San Francisco's best offensive lineman. He pushed him so far back that QB Shaun Hill had to step up into the collapsing pocket. And he stepped right into the arms of Grant, who cleaned up for the sack.

Analysis: Grant is a second-year linebacker out of Ohio State. He was active for just two games last season, but has been in the lineup for all four games this year. However, he has just three tackles as a backup LB. Grant still has little Fantasy appeal

Bill Coats, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams LB James Laurinaitis led the team in tackles for the fifth time Week 8. Laurinaitis leads the team with 74 tackles this season.

Laurinaitis unofficially had five tackles and also recorded his second interception in as many weeks during the Rams' loss to Jacksonville in Week 6.

Spin: The rookie middle linebacker looks like a keeper and is a decent IDP candidate every week as he leads the club in tackles.Mon, Oct 19

News: St. Louis LB James Laurinaitis intercepted a pass and had five tackles on Sunday in the team's overtime loss to the Jaguars. It was the second straight game in which he picked off a pass. He also had five tackles in the contest.

Analysis: Laurinaitis had 14 tackles in the team's first game but has seen those numbers tail off the rest of the season. The interceptions are not something that Fantasy owners can count on week in and week out as LBs don't usually get too many of them. Think of Laurinaitis as a decent No. 2 Fantasy LB for Week 7 against the Colts

Quincy Butler is the leading candidate to step into Bradley Fletcher's (knee) starting cornerback job. Nickel back Justin King has been limited this week with a groin injury. Butler, claimed off waivers from the Cowboys last December, has mainly been a special teamer. Upgrade Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson this week, assuming they start.Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch

Ron Bartell suffered an undisclosed injury in the overtime period of today's loss at Jacksonville, according to the Rams' official twitter page.

Our View: Quincy Butler replaced him in the secondary. Bartell is the Rams' best cornerback, and would be a tough loss if forced to miss time. The Rams are yet to update his status.

Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams CB Quincy Butler will see more action with CB Tye Hill (knee) done for the year. According to Billy Devaney, the Rams\' executive vice president of player personnel, St. Louis is \"looking for some bigger people across the board,\" and Butler fits the profile. He has played with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League as well as spending time on the New Orleans Saints practice squad and the Dallas Cowboys\' active roster.

St. Louis Rams CB Bradley Fletcher (knee) was placed on the Injured Reserve List Thursday, Oct. 29. He underwent surgery to fix the lateral meniscus cartilage in his knee Tuesday, Oct. 27, and will have additional surgery in roughly a month to repair the anterior cruciate ligament. CB Quincy Butler looks like the likely replacement for Fletcher. Fletcher may not be ready for the start of the 2010 season.

Rams placed CB Bradley Fletcher on injured reserve with a torn LCL and ACL, ending his season. Fletcher will have two separate operations; the first will repair his LCL and the second will fix his anterior cruciate ligament. St. Louis will have to go back to the drawing board at the cornerback position opposite Ronald Bartell this offseason. Fletcher had emerged as a possible long-term solution, but may begin 2010 on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Rams cornerback Bradley Fletcher will miss the rest of the 2009 season after tearing two ligaments in his right knee, according to the official Twitter page of the team. Fletcher was in his rookie season with the Rams.

Our View: Fletcher earned plenty of playing time as a rookie this season, and he was making great strides before this unfortunate injury. He has good size and speed, and he could end up being a nice player in this league if he comes back fully healthy.

St. Louis Rams DE James Hall (back) was limited during the team’s practice Friday, Nov 20. He is listed as probable for Week 11 and is expected to play.

Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams LB Chris Chamberlain is facing a $5,000 fine for a helmet-to-helmet hit on New York Jets WR Wallace Wright during the team's first preseason game.

Young linebacker Chris Chamberlain led the Rams in tackles on Friday night, bringing down four Jets.

Our View: Chamberlain is fighting to make the squad, and leading the team in tackles is never a bad thing.

Quinton Culberson could be phased out at strong-side linebacker as Chris Chamberlain is expected to share a lot more of the workload, according to Pro Football Weekly.Culberson racked up 11 tackles back in Week 10 against the Jets, but is averaging less than four tackles over his last three outings, and should not be considered for fantasy lineups Sunday.

Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams S Craig Dahl and S David Roach were each fined $5,000 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness Week 8. Roach was fined for striking an opponent who was away from the play, while Dahl was fined for striking an opponent with his forearm.

News: Rams DB Craig Dahl (seven tackles, sack) and DB Oshiomogho Atogwe (six tackles, sack) had nice performances in a Week 5 loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: Otogwe is a solid starting LB in all IDP Fantasy formats, while Dahl isn't worth worrying about heading into Week 6 at Jacksonville
