St. Louis Rams running back Zac Stacy appears to have avoided a major injury. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says that Stacy has only a strained calf muscle and "should be good to go" for Week 6.
Zac Stacy has minor calf strain, carries some fantasy risk for Week 6
Zac Stacy avoided a major injury against the Eagles in Week 5. We break down the fantasy implications.

Stacy was forced out of St. Louis' Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with the calf injury. He finished his day with 78 total yards on 15 touches. Through four games, Stacy has recorded 223 rushing yards and a touchdown on 53 carries, adding 10 receptions for an additional 98 yards.
Fantasy impact: The calf strain might keep Stacy limited in practice this week, but he should be ready for the team's next game against the San Francisco 49ers. Stacy has been a slight disappointment in his second year and has Benny Cunningham looking over his shoulder. Cunningham totaled 71 yards and a touchdown on 10 touches, playing a key role in the Rams' second-half effort. Neither back is a recommended start against San Francisco's defense, but for the moment Cunningham's fantasy arrow is pointing up while Stacy's is going down.
