Tre Mason, Zac Stacy, Benny Cunningham's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 10

When the St. Louis Rams examine how it all went wrong in Week 10's 31-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, they can look no further than the running game. As a team, the Rams gained 70 yards on 22 carries.

Sixty of those yards were split between Tre Mason and Benny Cunningham, with the latter recording the run game's lone score.

Conspicuous by his absence was Zac Stacy, who, despite being the Rams' leading rusher heading into Sunday, failed to register a carry for the second straight week. Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Stacy was on special teams duty:

As long as the 23-year-old running back is in Jeff Fisher's doghouse, Mason and Cunningham have some value, albeit not a ton. Mason is likely to get more carries, but Cunningham will get the touches close to the goal line.    

With so much left open regarding the Rams backfield, it's probably a good idea to wait at least another week and see if things clear up. Stacy, meanwhile, is a candidate to be dropped in most leagues.
