During 7-on-7 drills in the team's morning session, Harvin first bobbled, then hauled in a pass from quarterback Tarvaris Jackson in what was described as the "catch of the day."

Shortly thereafter, Harvin had to be removed from the field on a cart, thoug...

- Donnie Avery puts on weight for durability FFToolbox.com Since the St. Louis Rams are now paying big bucks for their rookie quarterback Sam Bradford, they're going to need somebody to step up at the wide receiver position. A possible favorite to be the go-to guy is Donnie Avery. Avery arrived at training camp 10 pounds heavier, intentionally. "I'm trying to get the weight but keep the speed as well," he said. Avery is expecting a battle at his position to determine the No. 1 receiver. "A lot of guys want to be No. 1. Everybody gets better when you have big competition. I'm confident in myself." FANTASY ANALYSIS: Avery entered the 2009 season as a po...
