Sam Bradford went 26-for-39 passing for 315 yards during the St. Louis Rams' loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. He found the end zone on a goal-line rush. Bradford did not throw an interception for the first time since the season opener.

Bradford now has 1,337 yards passing on the season. He has thrown six touchdowns to five interceptions through six games. Bradford's next game will come against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact: Bradford turned in yet another efficient performance in the loss, and made a good day great with a QB sneak for a score midway through the fourth quarter. He looked very good against a solid defense, coming off an ugly 7-for-21 outing last week against the Arizona Cardinals.

While Bradford had a nice day, it's hard to like his fantasy prospects going forward. The Rams simply do not have the supporting cast to prop up Bradford's numbers, especially with Danny Amendola out long-term. He is an okay backup in standard leagues, but he shouldn't be in your starting lineup on any consistent basis.
