Locker/QB/Tenn (1 Viewer)

Looks like best guess is now back Week 9-10.

Prior to the injury he was on a 2-week tear and looked primed to emerge as a potential QB1.
what do people think are his prospects with a Week 10-16 schedule that looks like JAX/IND/OAK/IND/DEN/AZ?
Return to form or was he a fluke earlier in the season?

Picked him up this week in a league where I have Pryor and Eli. I have an IR spot, but they've calling him doubtful at this point. Scoring system favors running QBs, so he's definitely startable.
Fahey and Barnwell both wrote articles about Locker showing promise early in the season. Shame he didn't get a chance to build on the early momentum, but between the schedule and the early success, I think he'll return to the level of productivity he showed before his injury.

Is there something to see here? His last three starts he's put up 28, 19 and 21 in my leagues. He was streaky last year but he has decent talent around him. It feel's weird that everyone has completely abandoned the hope that an 8th overall pick could have fantasy value. Any chance he comes out of the bye week healthy and rested and puts up low QB1 stats for the remainder of the year?
I would worry. Ram D last few weeks <> Rams D weeks 1-5.
Carolina couldn't run either in week 7, and they kept Cam somewhat in check (15-17-204-1, 10-26). Houston did run wild week 6, but they snuffed Schaub (15-26-186, knocked out) in a game that was a blowout for the Rams.
Rams D weeks 1-5 vs QBs: 21 pts / game (1pt/20yds, 4pt/TD, -1 int)
weeks 6-8 vs QBs: 14 pts / game
It's starting to look much more like the Rams D of last year which was rather stingy. Interesting that Jo-Lonn Dunbar came off suspension week 5 and started week 6. He was the SLB last year, moved to WLB this year, since DROY candidate Alec Ogletree had taken his old spot. With Laurinaitis at MLB and an impressive front four, the talent is there to dominate weaker offensive lines (the inconsistent Carolina OL and a very banged up Seattle O-line qualify here, Houston not so much especially in regards to run blocking). The secondary is the obvious weak spot on the Ram D with glaring holes at safety. The injury to Cortland Finnegan week 4 may have also been a boon to them as he was terrible.
If Locker gets the time, he can burn them deep. If he doesn't get the time, he may not finish the game.
Note the Rams do get up for these divisional games more so than others and the Monday Night hangover could come into play, so Locker's not a bad start. There just may be better.
