St. Louis Rams wide receiver Brian Quick is just about recovered from a devastating shoulder injury, practicing in full on Monday. Quick got the yellow “no-contact” marker removed from his helmet, meaning that he’s been cleared for contact. He could make his preseason debut this week.
Brian Quick cleared for contact, set to make fantasy impact again

Quick suffered a separated shoulder in Week 8 of the 2014 season, cutting short a breakout campaign in his third year in the league. Quick finished with 25 catches for 375 yards and three touchdowns in seven games.
Fantasy impact: Quick will be ready for the regular season, barring any setbacks. The Rams’ clear-cut No. 1 receiver has a starting job locked up outside Kenny Britt. There are questions about the Rams’ passing offense heading into the season, but Nick Foles should be an easy upgrade over Shaun Hill and Austin Davis. Quick has legitimate WR2 upside and is still cheap in fantasy drafts, where he’s currently going in the 11th round.
