Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Linehan had an overall 11-25 record in his first head coaching job. The Rams have been outscored 147-43 this season, and have allowed at least 30 points in seven straight games dating back to last year. The move was made heading into the Rams’ bye week and several hours after the Buffalo Bills outscored them 25-0 in the second half of a 31-14 victory Sunday. St. Louis has lost 17 of its last 20 games overall. ... While the Rams have plenty of talent, an immediate turnaround seems unlikely. That said, teams have played hard for him in the past. Bottom line Fantsy impact? If the team doesn't block better, the offensive numbers aren't going to improve greatly.
