Rams To Use 2 Or 3 Running Backs, Jeff Fisher Says

Now that we know David Wilson and Andre Brown are splitting carries with the New York Giants, one of the biggest backfield mysteries belongs to the St. Louis Rams following Steven Jackson's defection to Atlanta.

We expect "Making The Leap" candidate Isaiah Pead to be given every opportunity to win the lead-back job, but Daryl Richardson was impressive in his own right as a rookie.

Throw in fifth-round draft pick Zac Stacy -- a trendy fantasy sleeper -- and there are more questions than answers regarding the backfield roles.

Coach Jeff Fisher provided little insight this week, telling NFL.com's Ian Rapoport that the situation could be "playing two or three backs all the time. Which is good."

Don't draft a Rams RB this FFL season. Got it

 

To be fair, Jackson wasn't a draftable FF RB for quite a few years anyway, so no real difference on that front.

Zac Stacy will make for a tasty waiver wire option though for goal line situations.

 

Uhhh yes he was.

 

Jackson was always draftable. Maybe not as a 1st or 2nd, but he was always draftable. Stacy could be this years Alfred Morris. Don't have too much faith in Richardson or Pead

 

Jackson was draftable...just not overly productive.

 

1500 yards a season and a handful of scores is always very draftable.

 

I could see STL trying to spread out teams more this year with the offensive cast they have now
