Headlines

Darby moves ahead of Pittman: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports there remains no clear-cut No. 2 RB behind starter Steven Jackson, who has missed eight games entirely and most of two others because of injury over the past two seasons. The paper reports that so far it looks like Kenneth Darby is the leading contender for the No. 2 spot. Antonio Pittman would also be in the mix after the Rams traded Brian Leonard to Cincinnati this offseason. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said the competition remains wide open between Pittman and Darby. "I'm not going to pin one against the other," Spagnuolo said. "I think both of the guys are picking up the system pretty well. I think both add certain things. Again, I would say I'm real anxious to see the competition when they put the pads on."

Fantasy Analysis

We still think Pittman would emerge as the leading candidate to replace Jackson if he got hurt, but not if Darby continues to make an impression. We should know the No. 2 RB in St. Louis in training camp, but neither is worth drafting on their own if Jackson is healthy entering the season, which is the case. But whoever wins the backup job behind Jackson would be worth using as a handcuff since Jackson has proven to be injury prone the past two years.
(Updated 06/09/2009).

RBs Kenneth Darby and Antonio Pittman are vying for the top backup job behind Steven Jackson. Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said the pecking order won't necessarily be that clearly defined and could depend on situations, meaning Darby could get the call on certain series and Pittman will be the guy in other situations. "I feel like we get overlooked a lot. That's nothing but motivation for us," Darby said. "It encourages us to go out every day and prove to all the critics and the doubters that we're just as good as anybody else out there." Pittman said, "This is what you make your team out of. You want guys that are going to come out there and compete every day." As for the importance of being ready when Jackson isn't, Pittman said, "It's a very big role. Being that guy that spells Steven, it's huge for the team, just so you know that when he comes out of the game, (the offense) doesn't skip a beat." 61/1/2009
