Crazysight Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 This week's potential sleeper (although I've picked up Andre Caldwell too): For those with a spot in a deep dynasty league like mine he might be worth picking up. With both Steven Jackson and the Cadillac Williams possibly out this week (Caddy may suit up but be limited) Jerrious Norwood and Quinn Porter look to be the main running backs on the Rams roster. Porter is also the only young runningback on the team by the looks of it. He's a former division 2 player who has decent speed, can both run and receive. For those not in deep dyno leagues it still might be worth it to keep an eye on the game to see if he gets some decent playing time and how he fares if he does. The Rams do have a tough matchup this week though against the Ravens. "St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson (quadriceps) is not expected to play in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, and RB Cadillac Williams (hamstring) is a game-time decision. That leaves RBs Jerious Norwood and Quinn Porter as the team's top options. "I think you have to (run the ball) in every game," head coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "It doesn't matter what defense you face, if it's a good run-stopping defense or they're not stopping the run real well. I think everything is more effective on offense if we're able to run the football." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Porter was with the Browns this training camp and was one of the last ones cut. I wouldn't trust him against the Ravens though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
