Faulk Ripped

This site has Faulk rated as only a 3-star play this week.  Wow.  I see him going off on the 49'ers in a must-win game for the Rams.  San Fran is WAY overrated after drubbing probably the worst team in football right now.  Never write off Marshall Faulk.

First of all, WELCOME, nicklaus!  I hope you enjoy the site!  We like to think we're a good bunch!
 
As for your claim about Faulk's rating here, where are you getting that?  We don't provide weekly cheatsheets here.  Are you getting that from JunkyardJake.com, a site that we work closely with by way of acting as their externally-hosted message-board forum?
 
By the way, make sure to check your private messages!  Link is in the upper, right-hand corner!

I can see how you would think that was "our" rating.  
 
I have a tendency to agree with you about Faulk.  I don't think the Rams are as bad as they looked and should be in a closer game where they utilize Faulk more this week.  I also agree that the 9ers aren't as good as they looked coming out of week 1.
 
Did you read the new article Steg wrote?  It is an interesting read, but (as usual) there are some points that I disagree with.  One of the biggest concerns the Rams in general (therefore, by implication; Faulk): Quote:
Lastly, and this is more of a "stop believing the last 2+-years of hype that still persists even after Week 1 of '03", despite having solid bookends on their o-line, recently re-signed LT Orlando Pace and newly-acquired RT Kyle Turley, the Rams of '99-'00 are NOT coming back.  Excuses are still being made and hype about the return of the "Best Show on Turf" is still being generated and perpetuated by many, even if it is with the concession that QB Kurt Warner may be done and that they may have to move on with QB Marc Bulger,... although there are still many Warner apologists.  Stop buying into the hype, fellas!  It's over!  The '99 Rams are NOT making a return.  If you are banking on it, you are going to find yourself on the short end of the fantasy football ugly stick more often than not.

 
I think there was something obviously wrong with Warner last week and they will regroup and put up good numbers as the season progresses.  Maybe not quite like 99-00, but very close.  Last year they almost broke through to that past glory with Bulger at the helm, and it would not surprise me to see that happen this week in a rebound effort.

Statistically, though, with Bulger they weren't the fantasy MONSTERS they once were.  They won games, but were statistically more even with the pack.

Agreed with that, but I think if Faulk gets 17+ touches a game he's a top 3 back (behind Priest and RW).  I would start him vs SF, but SF's strength is up front and Bulger should have a good game vs. the secondary.  I'm not sure Marshall can rush for a couple scores vs the 9ers.  Luckily, with Faulk it's still possible to get 100 yards receiving.
 
Faulk rules.  Wish I had him this year :/

I'm tellin' ya's...  Be prepared for more Rams wins, BUT more fantasy "lack luster".  I think the #'s you saw in today's game will bare out to be quite prototypical.  The Rams of '99-'00 are DONE!  Get over it!

I think Faulk is still a possible fantasy stud.  However, I think he has dropped out of the top three now.
 
I would take Portis over him any day.  Especially in a keeper league.  I also feel Tomlinson will put up just as good of numbers if not better if that Freak (Boston) would play.  Especially with the best blocking fullback in the game ahead of him (Neal).

Funny that Noey21 mentions a fullback because the Rams don't even have one on their roster.  I think that is part of the reason for his lackluster totals so far.  Plus, he has to play in "Air Martz" system and that means he doesn't run the ball half as many times as he should.  I'm a big Rams fan, but Martz is not a good head coach, IMO.  His game management skills are atrocious as well, which is why he should be an offensive coordinator and that's it.

Yep, he drops to the #7 or #8 spot now, depending if your value of Jamal Lewis has skyrocketed or not. I'd still give up guys like Dillon, Tiki, Taylor, Davis and Edge for him though.

Hm...  Who didn't have Faulk in his preseason Top 10?

Two bad games and he's out of the top 10.  We'll see.  Let's not write Marshall off that quickly.  It's a long season.

I think the main reason you can drop Faulk in your rankings is that Martz doesn't use him.  It doesn't matter how good, or how talented a RB he is, if he doesn't get the rock, he doesn't get the stock.
