St. Louis Rams second year WR Donnie Avery, who came on strong last season and looked like he could blossom into a fine fantasy option in spite of the team’s horrible offense, has already been in the news quite a bit prior to the start of the season.
Avery suffered a stress fracture in his foot about two and a half weeks ago, and it was believed he would likely miss Weeks 1-3 of the regular season with the injury. Fortunately, for his owners though, he’s already 100 percent healthy, and has been impressive since returning to practice earlier this week. He’s running at full speed, and reportedly caught two TD passes during 11-on-11 drills on Tuesday, August 25.
Avery then told media that he’d be ready for Week 1, but didn’t stop there. He also threw in this He-Man quote after his quick recovery - “I run fast, but heal faster.”
For the record, we jock Avery really hard and think he’ll have a breakout year.
