yupper 6 Posted October 23, 2014 I saw a couple tweets earlier from M. Berry & E. Silva talking up Charles Sims. Anybody have any info on this kid. I think TB was high on him before he got hurt. Doug Martin isn't good & the new coaching staff doesn't hold ties to Martin. With the RB position the way it is, do you think the Bucs give this kid a shot?

michaelboltontheassclown 5 Posted October 23, 2014 Complementary back most likely. More of a receiving back than a pounder. Has a chance as Martin and Rainey have concerns and I think the coaching staff would be glad to see someone step up. I wouldn't invest in him as a fantasy starter until he proves something.

R8RMick 242 Posted October 23, 2014 Interest is well founded, but he'll be recovering from injury for awhile yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigperm0107 3 Posted October 23, 2014 you guys are going to miss the bus..not sure what you are talking about but the dude practiced today and has a good chance of starting next week. Don't sleep too long or you are going to miss out on this one. People in other forums are already grabbing him as have I..especially in PPR..dude can catch and draws comparisons to Forte. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yupper 6 Posted October 23, 2014 I can put in a waiver wire claim and pick him up, or should I c**k block the D. Murray owner and grab J. Randle? There's no guarantee Murray gets hurt, but based on his track record, it's probable. We tend to hoard RB's in our league, and we have deep benches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Next Generation 10 Posted October 23, 2014 Picked him up in both my Dynasty and 14-team redraft. I especially like his prospects in Dynasty as the coaches are very high on him. The comparisons to Forte are very encouraging. He's 6' 214 lbs, so he seems to fit the bill as an every down back. From Rotoworld: Charles Sims (ankle, short-term I.R.) practiced on Wednesday and could return to the lineup when he first becomes eligible Week 9. Drafted in the third-round this May, Sims drew comparisons to Matt Forte from Bucs RBs coach Tim Spencer this preseason. The current Tampa Bay regime has no loyalty to either Doug Martin or Bobby Rainey, and could be interested in seeing what they have in Sims down the stretch. He is a nice speculative add in 12-team leagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted October 23, 2014 Saw that today as well, thought he was weeks away. Big issue is how the ankle responds to practicing again. We'll know more by the weekend. Saw Sims play last year for WV in the TCU game, he was very impressive and never came off the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flgatorguy87 160 Posted October 23, 2014 He's a guy I've been watching all season and now with the positive reports I went ahead and dropped Greene for him who I just got as a throw in on a trade. No reason not to add him at the cost of a guy like Greene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P Park Pimps 1 Posted October 23, 2014 Would any of you drop Knile Davis for Sims? Im pretty desperate and i already have doug martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrmcguire 36 Posted October 23, 2014 debating this also about dropping Knile Davis or Jeremy Hill for Sims.....I've been holding onto both hoping for a Charles or Gio injury, but need a good back with the bye weeks coming up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted October 23, 2014 If you own the starter I'd hold. I would drop them if not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rrmcguire 36 Posted October 23, 2014 I don't own either Gio or Charles, just holding out hope for injury....so should I pick up Sims? Would you drop Hill or Davis? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted October 23, 2014 Davis has value only if Charles goes down. Hill has been serviceable in several starts so far this year with stand alone value. Gio is also taking some mega hits this year so I like Hill better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbyn2022 53 Posted October 23, 2014 I love this kids tape. I was beyond impressed. I think he's gonna be a really nice player and I think he's def gonna start over Martin and Rainy. Bucs are done for why not see what they have? Why waste a high pick on him and not give him a Chance to shine. I was offer Crowell for him straight up declined.

Bobbyn2022 53 Posted October 23, 2014 Davis has value only if Charles goes down. Hill has been serviceable in several starts so far this year with stand alone value. Gio is also taking some mega hits this year so I like Hill better. I was Offer hill and Crowell for Sims and Helu. Thoughts? Sims could be pretty good and has an easier way to becoming a starter. Helu might take over for Morris. I do have gio so hill could come in handy. Crowell might win the starting job? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted October 23, 2014 All secondary guys without an injury with Sims being the unknown at this point. He could take that job. Depends on what you need. As long you don't own one of Tate or Gio I don't think they are anymore valuable than Sims and Helu to you. I'd prob roll the dice on Sims getting a shot at the starting spot.

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted October 25, 2014 As NPG pointed out, Sims is practicing again and could see the field week 9 or 10. Anyone have any kind of reports of seeing him from college? The comparison to Matt Forte seems too good to be true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattcoz 3 Posted October 25, 2014 I picked him up, my RB situation is horrible and I need a hail mary. I don't need him to be Matt Forte, just need him to be better than Doug Martin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philo312 41 Posted October 25, 2014 I love this kid; I stashed him on my 12 team. Bucs could easily go youth 2nd half of season. They spent a 3rd round pick (3.5) on this kid and love his pass catching skills. Dude has super soft hands and worked exclusively out of the shotgun/pistol O for Houston. (transferred to WV sr yr where he caught 45/400/3 TD's) I've read that a few scouts compare his skillz to that of Matty22. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

$epphori$ 118 Posted October 25, 2014 I think you all are forgetting that that O-Line is a disaster and part of the reason Martin and Rainey have been mediocre thus far this season. I loved Sims in college and agree he could be a 3 down beast in the NFL but they need to fix that line or he will do as bad as the other RBs IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robotitan 0 Posted October 26, 2014 Even if he starts, Tamba Bay offensive line is horrible. Don't see anyone on this team doing anything. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=439635 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
