Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted October 31, 2014 Per rotoworld Doug Martin (ankle) remained sidelined at Bucs practice Thursday, but has shed his walking boot. The fact that Martin has shed his boot offers a glimmer of hope for his Week 9 status, but most signs point toward him sitting out against the Browns. Reporter Greg Auman believes Bobby Rainey will lead the Bucs in touches in Martin's potential absence, but that rookie Charles Sims could earn a much bigger role going forward if he performs well. We'd consider Rainey a borderline RB2, and Sims a wait-and-see RB3. Oct 30 - 2:08 PM Do you trust rainey will get enough touches? I think this sims kid is another devonta freeman, overrated as hell, but touches are king in the land of rbs (except for antone of couse). I could see lovie forcing sims into action. It would be nice to get at least 1 more big performance from rainey during bye week hell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flyfreak 84 Posted October 31, 2014 it's all up to sims, if he does well with his touches then i'll do well with mine the more touches we get, the better we'll feel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 20 Posted October 31, 2014 Sadly I'm carrying both Rainey and Sims. I'll start Rainey this week since Jennings is still out but I'll wait and see who emerges in the Tampa backfield and drop one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HOKIEZ 34 Posted November 1, 2014 Not sure why so many people hate on rainey just because hes not an all pro. Guarantee if Sims is active he splits secondary reps with Mike James . Rainey is going to be solid this week based on volume alone. There is no debate that Sims is the better long term add, no one needs to waste time talking about that anymore. The browns have given up 9 th most pts to RBs and the last 3 games they have played ten, jax, oak. That says a lot. Rainey should be good for 20 touches this week. He had 14 last week. Hes a solid RB2 this week 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted November 1, 2014 Sims is the newest flavor here to lick; we don't want any of that old Rainey flavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BREWSTER_MIL 0 Posted November 2, 2014 I think he runs close to 100 yards, 3 catches for 25. A solid fantasy day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Made some key desperation trades to attempt digging myself out of a 2-6 hole. Going to need to win out and rainey being the feature back would go a long way in helping my cause.

SNZ11 5 Posted November 2, 2014 Doug Martin (ankle) is inactive for Week 9. With Charles Sims also in street clothes today, Bobby Rainey should pile up touches against Cleveland. Martin is safe to drop in 10- and 12-team leagues. Look for Sims to rotate with Rainey in Week 10 against the Falcons. N Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
