That leaves the running game as the main weapon against New York, but even this aspect of the offense has its woes. By now, we all should know stud running back Steven Jackson suffered a Quad strain during his touchdown scoring rush last Sunday.
He quickly exited the game after one more rush and did not return, leaving the running game with serious doubts. Surprisingly, backup running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams picked up the slack.
Caddy reminded us of the type of back he could be, rushing for 91 yards with a 4. Cadillac's play proved his acquisition this off-season was well worth it. After a couple injury riddled seasons and being edged out by rookie LeGarrette Blount in Tampa Bay last season, Williams came to the Rams with a chip on his shoulder. That chip became pretty evident when he took over for Jackson.
Caddy certainly made everyone notice he was back. It's actually possible this could make Robinson a nice value in drafts, because he could still be a top option if he's the team's lead back.
But, Etienne's upside is obvious. His pass-catching and playmaking ability mean he doesn't need to have a ton of rushing attempts or touchdowns to be a must-start running back. I talked myself down from having Etienne as one of the best running backs in Fantasy, but that outcome is totally on the table.
Head on over to Spotify , Apple , or wherever else you consume podcasts to follow Fantasy Football Today in 5. Fast and lean running backs like Etienne don't always pan out.
Sometimes they take on too many injuries and fade Cadillac Williams , David Wilson , sometimes they become studs for a few seasons Jamaal Charles, C.
Spiller , and sometimes they turn into superstars Alvin Kamara. Etienne's ability to stay healthy through four years at Clemson is a good sign, but it's possible the Jaguars will limit his exposure to try to keep him healthy. Robinson gives them that luxury. However, if and when Etienne emerges as the Jaguars lead back, he should be a must-start Fantasy back. He's worth considering as early as the No.
When Etienne weaved his way through defenders and broke through lower-body tackles, he looked like Kamara. If he's used out in space as well as placed behind a good offensive line, he can be just as productive as Kamara. One thing Etienne and Kamara have done a good job with is avoid big injuries.
The Rams need to get Williams in the action. Williams is certainly an inconsistent player. But if he's getting the ball, the fantasy numbers will be there. He won't replace an injured star, but Williams will keep your head above water enough to allow your other players to get you the win. Frank Gore is banged up. When Hunter was on the field against Cincinnati, he was quite effective. When Hunter played in the preseason, he was quite effective.
San Francisco will need to control the ball if they are going to beat Philadelphia. To control the ball, they will need an effective running attack. They won't get that if they are not giving the ball to Hunter. Am I saying that he'll go for yards? No, not at all.
