Rams WR Danario Alexander says he is 100% Healthy

Danario Alexander, who has had five operations on his left knee already, has been working hard during the preseason to get back to 100%. Apparently that has paid off for a guy who looked pretty darn good in his rookie campaign, even with the injuries and rehab going on. "Watching him go through wide receiver drills and just getting off the line, he looks much quicker, looks much faster, much more explosive than he did in the (2010) season," said QB Sam Bradford after one of the club's informal workouts on Tuesday. This is great news for the Rams who are also going to get speedster Donnie Avery back from his knee injury. Alexander could be a definite sleeper pick as his size (6'4" 215lb) and speed make him a potential nightmare for opposing defensive backs...if he can stay on the field.

He's going to get lost in the shuffle on a team that's increasingly building around Tight Ends. I don't see much upside for a 2011 fantasy season, but I could be wrong. A lot of it will come down to opportunities.

"Its An Outrage"
Rookie WR's Greg Salas and Austin Pettis could very well make Rams fans forget about D.Alexander, M.Gilyard and L.Robinson.

Some relevant news that somehow slipped by last month!

Why The May 21st Doomsday Benefits Danario Alexander The Most, Post-Rapture

by Dan Moore • May 19, 2011 8:00 AM CDT
If May 21 is really the end of the world, we at SB Nation St. Louis have a lot of business to cover between now and doomsday. Yesterday we discussed the effect of the rapture on Albert Pujols's baseball card; today we're going to ponder the end of the world as it relates to the St. Louis Rams' fraught wide receiver situation, which has been slouching toward doomsday for some time now already.
I don't mean to insinuate anything, although you're welcome to infer that I'm insinuating something, but Danario Alexander stands to gain the most from the rapture and subsequent October 21 apocalypse. Right now Alexander is the man-who-would-be-number-one in Sam Bradford's beleaguered crew; all that keeps him from that faint, lucrative praise is his lack of durability—the constant fear that he won't be healthy at the moment the Rams need him most.
Enter the apocalypse.
Alexander is healthy right now. Now we know exactly how many moments the Rams have left on this earth—and in the Edward Jones Dome, in case you were hoping for a retractable roof—so Alexander's durability is now that much less important to our valuation of his future. The doomsday news is good for Donnie Avery, as well—now he'll neevr have to prove that his speed has returned following last season's serious knee injury.
As for the rookies—well, my apologies, guys. Maybe don't worry about the playbook
