Football betting - Rams’ Avery Out With Foot Injury – NFL Football betting
NFL Betting
The St. Louis Rams have lost starting WR Donnie Avery for four to six weeks with an injury to his left foot.
According to the online sportsbook at SPORTSBETTING.COM, Avery sustained the injury in a scrimmage on Friday night and the best-case scenario has him returning for the Rams’ Week 1 road matchup against
Today Rams new head coach Steve Spagnuolo broke the news that he expects No.1 receiver Donnie Avery to miss 4 to 6 weeks with a foot injury. With Torry Holt already gone to the Jaguars the Rams are looking to Avery to have a strong season in his second year in the league in Football betting.
This news no doubt hurts Donnie's fantasy value for this season as we won't know how this injury will hold up throughout the season. Even if this foot problem is not expected to keep Avery out for the entire 4-6 one has to wonder how much he is going to lose in building chemistry with starting quarterback Marc Bulger.
A young receiver needs all the reps he can get and losing time like this is not going to help his chances to be a productive receiver in 2009. No doubt this injury may make receivers like Keenan Burton more valuable as he should get some more time in practice.
Effects of the Injury on Fantasy Rankings at Football betting
I believe the player outside of Marc Bulger and Donnie Avery that will be hurt most by this injury is running back Steven Jackson. This runner was already going to have to face defenses this season without opposing team needing to respect a Holt on the outside.
Now he has lost the one proven talent in the receiving core that has actually posted strong numbers during stretches of the season.
If Avery can't play to the best of his ability's fantasy owners should give serious thought about dropping Steven into the middle or late 2nd round of their 10 to 12 team fantasy league drafts.
