Outlook

The Rams can't be worse than last year, right? A new coach with plenty of experience will help as will some additions on both sides of the ball. The defense looks improved with a revamped secondary and the offense will be better with more talent at receiver. The Rams are still a ways away from being a playoff team. Just finishing 7-9 would be a huge plus for this team after last season's disastrous year.

FANTASY BREAKOUT

Sam Bradford, QB. Last season was supposed to be the breakout year for Bradford but he battled injury and struggled in an offense that lacked playmakers at receiver. The Rams should be more conservative offensively this season but at least have some more talent at receiver, which is a positive for Bradford. And Bradford is healthy, which is another plus for the coming year. He might not have a huge season but is setup for his best season as a pro. Expect him to take a step forward in 2012.

FANTASY DUD

Steven Jackson, RB. Jackson is nearing that magical age of 30 and has plenty of carries under his belt. He also has battled some nagging injuries the last few years, which has limited him some game day. He still might have a good season or two left but a drop in production is expected at this stage of his career.

Team Notes

May 17, 09:52 AM Free-agent WR Titus Young (Rams) may not come within 100 feet of the mother of his 9-month-old child when he is released from jail. She was granted a temporary restraining order after complaining that Young threatened and harassed her.

Fantasy Impact: Wow. It just keeps getting worse for Young. He is a train wreck.
May 16, 11:04 AM St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher wants to get the ball into the hands of WR Tavon Austin as much as possible, in any way that they can. "We're going to try to get the ball to him as often as we can, however we do that," Fisher said.

Fantasy Impact: His life is quickly spiraling out of control.
May 08, 08:43 AM Free-agent WR Titus Young (Rams) was arrested twice in a 15-hour span Sunday, May 5, by the Moreno Valley Police Department in southern California. According to the police report, Young was stopped at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday after making an illegal left turn in front of a patrol car. Young was stopped and arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. Hours later, at 2:22 p.m. that day, officers responded to a tow company yard where a man was seen jumping over the fence. He was arrested for burglary after the police determined he was trying to take his own vehicle. He was booked again at the same detention center.

Fantasy Impact: Needless to say, Young is going to have a hard time getting back in the NFL. His life is out of control.
