Zac Stacy finds fantasy numbers despite timeshare
The Rams running back was efficient and effective against the Bears in Week 12. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy impact: Stacy’s touchdown came on a goal-line carry in the first quarter. His longest run of the day was 35 yards, which accounted for the majority of his monstrous 7.3 yards per carry average.
Though the effort should make fantasy owners happy, there are two areas of concern in Stacy’s day against the Bears. First, he split carries right down the middle with teammate Benny Cunningham. Second, Stacy only caught one pass out of the backfield in the contest.
The Bears no longer have one of the best defenses in the league, so Stacy's Week 12 numbers are not a total surprise. That said, the Rams take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, and given the renewed possibility of a timeshare, Stacy may not be a sure bet for big numbers.
