St. Louis Rams left tackle Rodger Saffold was able to fully participate in practice for the first time this week and his status for Sunday's game against the Redskins is much improved.

Fantasy Analysis: This is great news for Saffold and those personally concerned for him, but also good news for anyone that owns Sam Bradford, Steven Jackson, or any other Rams fantasy players.
