Cunningham rushed six times for 40 yards and caught three of five targets for seven yards during Sunday's win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The opportunities remain limited for Cunningham, and while he's shown well when given an opportunity (5.3 yards per tote), the volume isn't there to consider him much more than a desperation stash/handcuff for Todd Gurley owners. Further discouraging is Cunningham's attachment to the league's lowest-scoring offense. Barring an injury to Gurley, Cunningham is unlikely to warrant much fantasy attention.

Cunningham rushed three times for 10 yards and caught five of six targets for 32 yards during Sunday's game against Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
There haven't been many opportunities for Cunningham behind Todd Gurley. However, Week 9 saw the snap counts between the two backs closer than in the previous two games, as Gurley received 43 offensive snaps compared to Cunningham's 25. Still, Cunningham is likely best viewed as a desperation stash/handcuff for Gurley owners, and being attached to the underwhelming Los Angeles' offense further limits Cunningham's fantasy potential.

Cunningham played 26 of 79 offensive snaps and rushed three times for four yards with one reception for five yards during Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham played just 13 of 58 offensive snaps in Week 6 against the Lions, but even with a few extra repetitions on Sunday, he failed to move the fantasy needle. The 26-year-old running back is firmly behind Todd Gurley in the backfield, and it will almost certainly take a Gurley injury for Cunningham to become a contributing fantasy asset. Additionally, with Gurley catching 18 passes over the past four weeks, Cunningham's PPR value is dwindling. It's unlikely the backfield work will be much different following Los Angeles' Week 8 bye, either.

Cunningham received just 13 of 58 offensive snaps during Sunday's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
While he made the most of his opportunities (two rushes for nine yards and two receptions for 14 yards), the volume isn't there for Cunningham to be a viable fantasy asset. Todd Gurley caught all four of his targets for 39 yards, as he continues to be utilized more in the passing attack at Cunningham's detriment. At this point, it appears almost certain that it will take a Gurley injury for Cunningham to become fantasy relevant.

Cunningham snatched two passes for 14 yards and carried the ball twice for nine yards in Sunday's loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The running game was supposed to carry Los Angeles this season, with Cunningham serving a supplementary role behind last year's phenom, Todd Gurley. Instead, the Rams rank 31st in the league in yards per carry and 28th in yards per game. With less production from that side of the offense, there's less for Cunningham to do. He, in turn, is on pace for career lows in the rushing and receiving

Cunningham is expected to play Sunday against the Lions, the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was inactive in Week 5 because of a thigh injury, but he isn't on the injury report this week. His return should bump Malcolm Brown out of the picture, and it could cut into a few of Todd Gurley's passing-down snaps. However, while efficient with his opportunities thus far (8.0 yards per rushing attempt and per reception), Cunningham will likely need to break a big play to tip the fantasy scales most weeks. Gurley is also seeing more work in the passing game with five targets in each of the past two games, so Cunningham's opportunities are likely to be minimal.

Cunningham (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 tilt versus the Bills, the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The backup running back will take a seat after being limited on Thursday and Friday with the thigh injury he suffered against the Cardinals in Week 4. His absence should open a handful of reps for rookie Malcolm Brown, who had an impressive preseason, but should also result in an uptick in workload for Todd Gurley.

Cunningham (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jack Wang of the LA Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was forced out of last week's win over Arizona, and while he wasn't listed on the Wednesday injury report, he showed up as a limited participant both Thursday and Friday. It's unclear if he suffered an aggravation, or if it was just a slight oversight by the Rams earlier in the week. Cunningham doesn't have much stand-alone value, but a potential absence could lead to a few more targets for Todd Gurley.

Cunningham (thigh) was limited in practice on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was absent from Wednesday's injury report, which makes it a bit peculiar to see him as a limited participant on Thursday. The team could just be giving the back some extra rest so he's fresh for Sunday, but look for a more official report to come out sometime before kickoff. If he is ruled out, Malcolm Brown should see increased reps behind Todd Gurley.

Cunningham (hamstring) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was forced from Week 4's matchup with a hamstring injury and already appears to be healthy enough to play Week 5, given his absence from the injury report. The fourth-year back offers depth at running back and sees work on third-down sets, but at this point is only a handcuff to starter Todd Gurley and his massive workload.
