Rams report, 11/17

* Transactions. Fendi Onobun has become the latest Ram to finish his 2010 season with a trip to the IR, due to a bulging disk in his back. The Rams have signed former Bills TE Derek Schoumann to replace him.

* Sunday's game against Atlanta should be televised locally in St. Louis. There are only 1,000 tickets to be sold to get the NFL TV blackout lifted.

* The Falcons are 3-point favorites Sunday; I'll have to be a Scrooge and pick them to cover this week. They're 7-2. They're the best team in the NFC. Witnessing Sunday's 3-hour-long fiasco of pass coverage, I have no idea how the Rams keep Roddy White, the NFL's best WR, under 20 fantasy points. And Atlanta having the best red zone scoring defense in the league doesn't match up well for the small-ball Rams offense's red zone issues. The Rams are good enough not to get blown out, but beating the Falcons is going to be a lot to ask for. I'm thinking Atlanta 24-17.

I'll try to get a full injury update out tomorrow.
