The sight of Rams left tackle Orlando Pace getting carried off the field would devastate millions of fantasy football players -- and I'm not talking about some kind of weird league using offensive line stats.
The name of Pace, who missed half of 2006 with an injury, won't be called at any fantasy drafts, but he makes a huge difference to many players whose names will be called: Steven Jackson, Marc Bulger, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce. Pace is one of the league's best offensive linemen, and his teammates -- especially Bulger -- greatly missed him when he was gone last year.
Jackson has said he hopes to gain 2,500 yards from scrimmage this year, and although that's a lofty goal, it's not totally unrealistic. But it'll be a lot easier to achieve if Pace is on the field.
