It seems as if the weight of carrying the Rams offense has finally crushed Steven Jackson. After three straight games over 100 yards in weeks 8-10, the Rams' star RB has hit a wall recently. In his past two games, Jackson has ran for just 3.3 yards per carry, and has not gotten in the end zone. For week 13, numberFire.com is projecting that Jackson's downward slide will continue.
Amongst running backs, numberFire has Jackson projected as No. 24 overall, so fantasy owners should seek other sources of production on Sunday. For the week, numberFire likes the following running backs more than Jackson: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Beanie Wells, Darren Sproles, Roy Helu, Jonathan Stewart and Shonn Greene. Jackson's numbers will likely be depressed further if QB Sam Bradford is unable to make the start for the Rams on Sunday.

Despite the St. Louis' Rams continued offensive woes, WR Brandon Lloyd has kept on producing. Lloyd hauled in a touchdown for the third straight game in last week's match up vs. the Arizona Cardinals, to go along with 74 receiving yards. In Week 13, numberFire.com projects Lloyd as the No. 16 overall WR, making him a solid play as a WR2 in any league.
numberFire has Lloyd projected for just under 60 yards, but gives him a 40% chance of catching a touchdown, which significantly ups his value. One caveat here is that Lloyd's projection would likely go way down if QB Sam Bradford is unable to play vs. the Niners. Lloyd and Bradford had displayed a winning chemistry, and that would likely be absent with Feely under center, not to mention that Feely has not played very well this year overall.

Yahoo! has compiled a list of the most added and dropped players in NFL fantasy football for Week 13, and the St. Louis Rams defense ranks among the most dropped this week as the team travels to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The other Rams player to appear on the list of most dropped, albeit way down the list, is quarterback Sam Bradford, who re-aggravated his ankle injury and may not play in Sunday's game.
As for adds, 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree is high on the list, as he is set to face a Rams defense that will be missing their starting SS Darian Stewart (concussion) and has been decimated at cornerback all season long. Unsurprisingly, quarterback Alex Smith is also fairly high on the add list, and likely for similar reasons. The Rams have no players appearing on the most added list, but for a 2-9 team that has struggled to score points, that is to be expected.
