We're off and running with our annual player predictions for our favorite players from the St. Louis Rams. So far, we've taken a stab at 2010 numbers for Steven Jackson (here) and James Laurinaitis (here). I'll give you until Friday to make predictions for those two guys, and we'll post a round up as we get closer to the start of the season.
Today, let's jump back to the offense and tackle one of the wide receivers, Laurent Robinson.
Robinson leads the 10 players competing for the 5 or 6 wide receiver spots on the final roster in stats from the young preseason with 2 catches for 27 yards...not that preseason stats mean much.
Based on what little experience he had with the Rams last season, Robinson enters the 2010 season as the de facto starter. There's good reason for him being cemented into his starting spot though. Robinson has great hands, explosive speed and the ability to pick up those all precious yards after the catch.
One of the knocks on Robinson coming to the Rams was his route running ability. He's quietly emerged with a solid skill set in that department, and the biggest question mark surrounding him now is whether or not he can stay healthy. Part of his health problems come from his physical style of play and a knack for working well in traffic, a trait that goes well with Sam Bradford's accuracy. If he can stay healthy, he should be the Rams #1 receiver.
Let's talk stats. After a sweet debut game last year, Robinson was lost for the season before the second half of the Rams week 3 game against Green Bay. If you average his receptions and yards over his first two games last season, Robinson would have finished the year with 88 catches and 1,128 yards and somewhere around 8 TDs. That would assume, of course, that the Rams had a stable QB situation and a more balanced offense. Those will again be factors in Robinson's 2010 season.
So, make your prediction, including Receptions - Receiving Yards - TDs, in the comments below. You can also hit us up on Twitter.

In the last two years, he’s played in 9 games out of 32. Can we get half of a season out of him this year?
You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.
65 rec., 880ish yards, 7 TD's

Patience. The regular season doesn’t start until the 12th. I’m itchy too.

The rams will go thru more body bags for qbs this year than all our receivers total catches added together. Oh and he leads our team
maybe we should do this for the oline
Pancakes. Sacks. Fumbled snaps
I actually was in a fantasy football draft, and while I didn’t find myself in a position to draft a Rams WR, everyone got into a debate over Donnie Avery vs. Laurent Robinson for fantasy football purposes. I sided with Robinson, but the GM at the moment took Avery. Which would you guys rather have in fantasy?
Keep it classy St. Louis!

Probably Avery
He actually plays in most of his games. If they were both locks to play 16 games then I’d take Robinson, but Avery seems a little safer. And if its not too deep of a league you could probably pick up either one midseason.

58 receptions, 760 yards, and 6 TDs
That’s with all Bradford. Every week of Feeley drops those numbers.
