Rams' Benny Cunningham: Sees slight boost in playing time

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.

Analysis:

Cunningham played just 13 of 58 offensive snaps in Week 6 against the Lions, but even with a few extra repetitions 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.
