Description: Rams QB Sam Bradford was excellent in defeating Washington Sunday. Bradford threw for 310 yards and three scores. | Insight: Bradford has taken a ton of hits in the last two seasons but he still remains poised in the pocket. The Rams signal-caller should post career numbers this season, but that won't be enough to make him relevant outside of two-QB leagues. | | |

Description: Rams QB Sam Bradford went 6-of-9 for 102 yards and two touchdowns Saturday in St. Louis' second preseason game. | Insight: Bradford hasn't been sacked in the team's first two exhibition games after taking a ton of hits last season in Josh McDaniels' seven-step drop offense.

Description: New offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has redesigned the St. Louis offense to better fit quarterback Sam Bradford's skillset. | Insight: Bradford thrived in the Rams' West Coast style offense as a rookie in 2010 but the team got away from that approach under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels last season, causing Bradford to struggle. The expectation is that Bradford is going to throw lots of short screen passes this year, which should help improve his completion percentage while also keeping him upright and protected against unnecessary hits. | | |

Description: Rams quarterback Sam Bradford says he is still dealing with soreness in the sprained ankle from last season. | Insight: We're months away from games that count, but this can't be good news for fantasy owners. Bradford, in his third season, is learning a new offense under head coach Jeff Fisher and OC Brian Schottenheimer and it will certainly go faster if he's at 100-percent strength. This is Bradford's third offensive coordinator in three seasons. | | |

Description: Coach Steve Spagnuolo announced after Friday's practice that Sam Bradford (ankle, questionable) will be a game-time decision in Week 9. | Insight: National reporters aren't expecting to him play, but the Rams think they will play.

Description: Sam Bradford (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Week 7 against the Cowboys.
Source: Jim Thomas via Twitter | Insight: Downgrade most of the Ram position players as AJ Feeley makes his first start since 2007. Brandon Lloyd is really the only WR that is worth starting this week and Steven Jackson's match-up just got even tougher. | | |
| 10/19/2011 1:12:00 PM |
Description: Citing a team source, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Sam Bradford is expected to start Week 7 against the Cowboys, despite injuring his ankle on the final play of last week's loss to Green Bay.
Source: Adam Schefter via Twitter | Insight: There's a possibility that Bradford only suffered a minor ankle sprain and not a high ankle sprain as was originally reported. AJ Feeley is getting practice reps, but Bradford looks like he's going to tough it out and play. If Bradford plays, it's a good sign for a nice fantasy day out of Brandon Lloyd and Danario Alexander. | | |

Description: Sam Bradford (finger) returned to a full practice Friday. | Insight: Bradford is still considered a QB2 option with Justin Tuck, appearing more likely, to returning to the defense. | | |

Description: Sam Bradford (finger) practiced in full Thursday.
Source: Bart Hubbarch | Insight: Bradford is on track for the start on Monday night against the Giants. If Justin Tuck misses the game, he makes an itriguing option in week 2, but should be a QB2 this week. | | |

SOURCE: ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH | Insight: Once we get to true free agency in the new league year, the Rams could be looking at Sidney Rice, Malcolm Floyd, Braylon Edwards, Santana Moss, etc. These are WRs that can come in, play and produce in Josh McDaniels' new offense in St. Louis. | | |

Description: Rams QB Sam Bradford and newly-hired OC Josh McDaniels finally had a chance to meet on Wednesday.
SOURCE: ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH | Insight: Because of McDaniels' problems with Jay Cutler when he was hired in Denver, there were some concerns regarding neither meeting each other. The meeting was said to be brief, but "at least they've met." Bradford should flourish in McDaniels' offense. | | |

Description: Rams QB Sam Bradford has mixed feelings about being forced to learn a new offense this offseason, according to the Daily Oklahoman. "Part of me's a little bit frustrated," Bradford said. "I was really looking forward to spending more time in the West Coast (offense) and really getting into detail this offseason." However, he quickly added, "But part of me's extremely excited to be working with Josh McDaniels. If you look at what he's done with some of his offenses and some of his quarterbacks in the past, as a quarterback you can't not be excited to be in one of those offenses."
SOURCE: ROTO TIMES | Insight: The St. Louis Rams seemed to finally be getting comfortable with the West Coast offense before front office brass pulled the rug out from under them with the hiring of OC Josh McDaniels. | | |

Description: Rams QB Sam Bradford has been named 2010 Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press.
SOURCE: ESPN.COM | Insight: After taking every snap as a rookie, Bradford set NFL rookie records for completions (354) and passing yards (3512). Bradford likely helped himself by keeping St. Louis in playoff contention all the way to Week Seventeen. He should only get better with Josh McDaniels hired to run the offense in 2011. | | |

Description: Rams QB Sam Bradford says he wants to build chemistry with his receivers this offseason if there are no offseason activities because of a potential lockout.
SOURCE: ESPN.COM | Insight: It's encouraging to see Bradford bettering himself as an NFL quarterback, especially now that he will have to learn OC Josh McDaniels' new system. The Rams have a unit of young talent, but none of these guys really sticks out as someone who can take the ball and run as a No. 1 receiver. But we have seen flashes of ability from Danario Alexander. If he can stay healthy and develop with Bradford, he could be the guy who leads the way in the receiving game. As for Bradford's fantasy value, he should be a fine QB2, but he has a ways to go before he can make that next step. | | |
| 1/11/2011 2:30:00 PM |
Description: The Rams are reportedly trying to avoid changing their offensive system.
SOURCE: ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH | Insight: They shouldn't since Sam Bradford played exceptionally well in his first year. OC Pat Shurmur, who is the favorite for Cleveland's head coaching job, ran a West Coast offense, so bringing in someone like Josh McDaniels would add a new dimension, but could set Bradford back having to learn a whole new scheme. Former Vikings HC Brad Childress might also be a candidate to take over if Shurmur ends up leaving. | | |

Description: Bradford went 28-for-37 for 292 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers on Sunday. | Insight: A nice bounceback game for Bradford, who had struggled in recent weeks. He will lead the Rams into Seattle to battle for the NFC West title in Week 17. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
