Can the Rams’ trio of fantasy studs stay healthy throughout 2008? If so, three monster seasons might be ahead.

QUARTERBACK: Marc Bulger missed four games last year and was rather ineffective in the other 12. Still, he has the potential to be one of the five best fantasy quarterbacks in the league. He’s definitely a QB1, but don’t take him over surer bets — he’s a lower-tier QB1.

RUNNING BACKS: I could almost write the same first sentence about Jackson as I did for Bulger: He missed four games last year and was rather ineffective in the other 12. Jackson, however, had his moments, scoring five touchdowns and rushing for 1,002 yards. He topped the century mark only twice, but topped 85 yards rushing seven times. His receiving numbers wereway down, but that should improve as his and Bulger’s health improves. Jackson is still a first-round running back, maybe even top-five if you’re confident. He’s worth the risk. Travis Minor and Antonio Pittman aren’t worth drafting as handcuffs; fullback Brian Leonard has little preseason fantasy value, either.

WIDE RECEIVERS: Torry Holt might no longer one of the top three fantasy receivers, but he’s still a strong WR1 who will top 1,000 yards and score 6-10 touchdowns. The more interesting St. Louis WR is Drew Bennett, who moves into the shoes of longtime Rams receiver Isaac Bruce (now with San Francisco). If Bennett steps up, he’ll put up numbers comparable to Bruce, perhaps 60 receptions, 700 yards and 5-7 TDs. That’s solid WR3 territory, if not sleeper WR2 land. It’s a big step, however, so don’t overreach.

TIGHT ENDS: Randy McMichael delivered an average TE season in 2007 — in fact, his numbers were down from 2006 when he played in Miami. In the meantime, several other fantasy tight ends passed him by. He’s a solid TE2 who might surprise with some TE1 stats, but most likely, expect similar numbers as last season.

KICKER: Josh Brown moves from Seattle, where he scored 127 points last season and made 82.4 percent of his field goals, to St. Louis, which should have just as potent an offense and plays indoors. For sure, he’s a starting fantasy kicker, among the top five in the league.
