Fantasy Stat Breakdown: The Baby Rams
- If you want to know one reason the Rams are so bad this season, it’s because their receiving corps is so young. QB Marc Bulger has bruises older than these guys. Of the Rams’ top five wide receivers, Laurent Robinson is the veteran of the group in his third season. Donnie Avery, Danny Amendola and Keenan Burton are in their second season while Brandon Gibson is a rookie.
- It’s hard to notice the rookie among all the newbies on the Rams, but WR Brandon Gibson is averaging 6 catches for 77 yards over the past two games.
- Terrell Owens (remember him?) had more receiving yards on Sunday (197) than he had in his previous four games combined (164)
- Matt Stafford is only the fourth QB in Lions franchise history to throw for 400+ yards and the first one to ever do it in a game the Lions won. Leave it to the Lions to throw for over 400 yards and lose...three different times.
- Frank Gore had a three game touchdown streak snapped on Sunday.
- The Dolphins don’t have a single player averaging 40 or more receiving yards a game.
- The Seahawks had a team total of four rushing yards this week. Leading rusher Justin Forsett averaged 1.1 yards per carry over eight carries.
- Giants TE Kevin Boss has only ten catches in the past three games, but four of them have been for touchdowns.
- The last four games where Tony Romo threw for fewer than 200 yards are all against NFC East opponents.
- Sunday’s upset over the Bengals was the first time the Raiders have had 2 or more passing TDs in a game this season.
