Rams rookie QB Sam Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, is scheduled to start his first preseason game on Thursday at New England, according to StLouisRams.com. Coach Steve Spagnuolo confirmed on Sunday that starter A.J. Feeley won't be able to play after he injured his thumb and elbow in the first quarter of a 19-17 victory at Cleveland on Saturday night. Bradford played into the third quarter, leading the Rams on seven drives. They could only muster one field goal out of the seven, as Bradford struggled to move the ball up the field. Bradford completed 6 of 14 passes for 24 yards.
Analysis: Bradford was a bit frustrated by his performance -- or lack there of -- as he expects to tear it up every time he hits the field. "Anytime you're not able to do that, it's a bit of a disappointment," he said after the game on Saturday. "When I look at the film, there will be a lot of things I learn from." The fact he's studying his game and trying to get better is very reassuring. If Feeley's injury isn't serious he'll likely start for the Rams, but this is an issue owners should keep a close eye on. While Bradford has to wait for his chance, he may get it sooner than he thought. As of right now though, the Rams have inexperienced wideouts making both quarterbacks unattractive Fantasy picks in standard seasonal leagues on Draft Day. Bradford is worth a late-round pick in long-term keeper leagues and a first-round selection in rookie-only formats.
