Lucky Jack Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I can't find much recent on the Jackson and Faulk roles. Anyone out there know what the "odds on" plan is -- Faulk as a change of pace guy? Out of the backfield on 3rd down? In the red-zone? What is your intell, or even just your bet? Thanks all...

darin3 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Martz has said he wants Faulk on the field as much as possible. That will mean 2-back sets, Faulk as a split-wide receiver, slot receiver, 3rd down single back, and who knows what else. In terms of carries per game, I would say 5-8 carries a game. Probably 30 yards per game. Receptions-wise, I think he's valuable. If you're in a league that gives you a point per reception, he's a borderline starter, definite solid bye week filler. He'll probably net you 4-5 receptions a game, at bare minimum. That could translate into 40-50 receiving yards per game. Of course, Martz is nuts and he could just be blowing smoke up the collective a$$es of us fantasy footballers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 i'm actually really interested to see how the rams utilize faulk with jackson this year. i think what darin said is right on, and if that's how they use him i think they could really give defenses fits. we'll see if martz can live up to being the offensive genius people say (or used to say) he is.

migarvin Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 yeah watch faulk be a less explosive westbrook this year. But Jackson might be too good to give faulk that much playing time. But who knows, if jackson goes down watch out! Definitely grab him in leageus with flex positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOARHOGZ Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm thinking with the schedule that STL has got Martz will do his typical circus act and do some goofy - try and make the other team look silly type shananigans. I'm betting on Faulk to be used heavily in the passing game - and we know he's Martz teacher's pet. I wouldnt be surprised if he were sleeper material for this year as he wont get banged up as much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOARHOGZ Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 that previous post was also biased as I picked him up late - hopeful even ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 we'll see if martz can live up to being the offensive genius people say (or used to say) he is. 955034[/snapback] Hey, Martz IS an offensive genius; he's just a so-so head coach, that's where the problem lies.
