Rams RB Benny Cunningham is out indefinitely with an ankle injury.
Cunningham is donning a hard cast on his ankle, which isn't a good sign. The Rams will move forward with Zac Stacy in the feature back role, and Daryl Richardson as the change of Pace. Isaiah Pead is now the No. 3 tailback.

Benny Cunningham rushed four times for 13 yards in Sunday's Week 5 win over the Jaguars.
Cunningham was the No. 3 back behind new starter Zac Stacy and backup Daryl Richardson. Cunningham only got carries when Stacy left late due to a rib injury and the Rams were killing the clock. Even if Stacy sits out in Week 6 at Houston, Cunningham would be off the fantasy radar.

Benny Cunningham rushed four times for six yards in Week 4 against the 49ers.
With Isaiah Pead inactive, Cunningham served as Daryl Richardson's backup and rotated series in the second half with the Rams in comeback mode. He added one catch for 17 yards and scored on a two-point conversion. Cunningham looked to be an upgrade on Richardson in pass protection and should continue to push for touches in a change-of-pace role.

Rams rookie RB Benny Cunningham didn't touch the ball in St. Louis' Week 1 win over the Cardinals.
Cunningham did return two kicks, but will likely be a healthy scratch in Week 2 with Isaiah Pead coming off suspension.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch confirms it's unclear who will be backing up Daryl Richardson Sunday.
Undrafted rookie Benny Cunningham earned a roster spot by rushing for 123 yards on 20 carries in the preseason. Fifth-rounder Zac Stacy struggled to just 68 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries. It's certainly conceivable that Cunningham will play ahead of Stacy against the Cardinals and will then enter a three-way battle for backup reps when Isaiah Pead comes off suspension in Week 2.

Rams UDFA RB Benny Cunningham has made the 53-man roster.
5-foot-10, 212, Cunningham runs noticeably hard and had a strong preseason with 123 yards on 20 carries (6.2 YPC) to go with two receptions for ten yards. Dynasty leaguers should keep an eye on Cunningham and grab him in deeper leagues. The Rams' tailback position is far from solidified long term, and Cunningham looks like a better prospect than fifth-rounder Zac Stacy.
