Rams Donnie Avery has been bothered by a nagging hip problem, but he should be ready to go for the team's Week 14 game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to the AP.
Our View:Avery was held without a catch in the Rams Week 13 game. The receiver has had a decent start to his career with 499 yards receiving and two touch downs.
Steven Jackson only received one rushing attempt in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to Miami as coach Jim Haslett felt he was "gassed," but Jackson insists he was not tired, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Jackson said, "No, I wasn't gassed. I had 21 carries and felt great. So, it wasn't me and my conditioning. I wish Haslett would stop saying that." Haslett believes his conditioning was compromised by his lengthy holdout.
Our View:Jackson's season will not get easier in Week 14 at Arizona, who remain in the playoff race.
Torry Holt reportedly begged to exit Sunday's loss to Miami several times, according to the Sun Sentinel.
Our View:Holt has been held out of the endzone in four straight games, and the frustrated receiver will remain an unfavorable fantasy option in Week 14 against a Cardinals' defense that will be out for blood following their tough loss to the Eagles on Thanksgiving Day.
