Keenan Burton wasn't talented enough to be a fantasy factor, but Brandon Gibson is.

Brandon Gibson, Ramses Barden, Patrick Turner and Devin Aromashodu all have talent. They’re young, relatively unknown receivers that are worth keeping on the radar in dynasty leagues.

There’s one difference: Gibson actually is getting an opportunity to play. Now.

Gibson is locked in as the Rams’ starting split end for the rest of the season thanks to Keenan Burton’s season-ending knee injury (and Laurent Robinson's). Donnie Avery will start opposite him and Danny Amendola will be in the slot.

Gibson had seven catches for 93 yards and led the team in targets in his debut.

“For him to come in after Keenan got hurt and play as well as he did is impressive, rookie or no rookie," Marc Bulger said, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I think we found a really good receiver there."

So if Gibson really can play, why didn’t he go until the sixth round of the 2009 draft? First of all, he would have gone much higher if he left Washington State as a junior. But he stuck around for a miserable senior season on a miserable team and had a miserable year.

Then, he pulled his hamstring in the practices leading up to the Senior Bowl and wasn’t able to play in the game. He also missed the agility tests at the Combine and at Washington State’s pro day. So Gibson went tumbling down draft boards before the Eagles, who didn’t really need a receiver, said they can’t pass on his talent and took him with the 194th overall pick.

Maybe I’m getting a little too excited about a rookie on a bad team. But the bottom line is Gibson has an opportunity right now and I’m stashing him and/or playing him until we see how this develops. The Rams play the Texans (No. 17 vs. pass) and Cardinals (No. 30 vs. pass) in Weeks 15 and 16.
