Steven Jackson says he’s trying to be ready for Week 2, but fantasy owners would be wise to avoid him.

Tony Softli, a former personnel executive for the Rams, said on the latest Cover Two Podcast that RB Steven Jackson‘s quadriceps injury will keep him from playing in Monday night’s game against the Giants, according to a team source.

The Rams had a rough day on the field and it could get rougher if Danny Amendola’s injury keeps him out for the season.

It’s not a pleasant sight for the Rams that RB Steven Jackson is on the sideline during the first quarter riding a stationary bike.

Fantasy owners looking for a breakout candidate at running back should look no further than Shonn Greene.

LeGarrette Blount could be worth a look off the fantasy waiver wire heading into Week 8.

St. Louis QB Sam Bradford was the hot pickup this week, as enthusiasts scrambled to replace bye week starters Tom Brady and Chad Henne.

Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris spent part of the team’s bye week getting a longer look at reserve running backs LeGarrette Blount and Kareem Huggins, under the guise of getting the two youngsters more involved behind starter Cadillac Williams.

Many football enthusiasts know the name LeGarrette Blount, but not for positive reasons. Now the Buccaneers rookie running back could make a name for himself in fantasy circles — and for positive reasons.

One player who can expect a larger role for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when the team returns from its bye week is RB LeGarrette Blount.

The other shoe finally dropped on Derrick Ward in Tampa Bay.

Bucs coach Raheem Morris doesn’t appear too happy with the shape Derrick Ward is in.

After two underwhelming performances, Derrick Ward looks to be in danger of falling behind Kareem Huggins on the Bucs’ depth chart.

Reports suggest that one player who could be in jeopardy of losing his job with the Bucs is Derrick Ward.

Buccaneers RB Cadillac Williams is relishing the fact that he’s healthy during the offseason for the first time since 2007, and he has set some high goals for himself.
