Tre Mason, Benny Cunningham, Zac Stacy's Post-Week 11 Fantasy Reaction

Tyler ConwayNov 16, 2014

After weeks of uncertainty, Tre Mason has solved the St. Louis Rams' running back situation. Mason received a vast majority of the snaps for the fifth straight week in Sunday's 22-7 win over the Denver Broncos and appears to have cast Benny Cunningham and Zac Stacy into irrelevance.   

The former Auburn star carried the ball 29 times for 113 yards, while Cunningham had only seven yards on his two carries. Stacy, the starter earlier this season and expected star coming into 2014, did not touch the ball. Barring an injury, Jeff Fisher seems to prefer Cunningham and Mason.

The Rams have used Cunningham in obvious passing situations and he continues to look fine as a pass-catcher. The second-year back had four grabs for 31 yards, tying him with Kenny Britt for the team high in receptions. Mason, who struggles at times in pass protection and rarely used as a receiver in college, has a lone grab for a yard.

Given that the current system is working, it's unlikely there are many changes going forward. Mason has emerged as a strong every-week play in all formats, though the Rams don't score enough for him to be a superstar. His one rushing touchdown came nearly a month ago against the 49ers.  

Cunningham is the handcuff you'd want if for some crazy reason you'd like to handcuff a Rams running back. I wouldn't do that, but, hey, different strokes for different folks. The only people who should own Zac Stacy are people in Zac Stacy's immediate family.
