++ UPDATE: Martin/ Rainey - Doug Martin INACTIVE

[rvolpe21 5]

i have stacy, rainey, bradshaw and j bell, which three would you start?

[mgs316 14]

stacy, rainey, bradshaw

[Antiramie 50]

Even if Martin plays, I doubt he'll get many carries if he's essentially a game-time decision.

[Sho Nuff 720]

If true, Rainey becomes a must start.

Definitely...and then don't have to worry about Ridley.

[PATSSOX 22]

I was drinking the Martin Cool-aid before the season again but he must really not be any good. Or they just dont block for him but do for Rainey.

[desertfire 4]

NFL network just said martin is NOT playing tonight

[eaglesfreak 10]

Is rainey a top 5 start?

@JasonLaCanfora

 

Good chance Doug Martin does not even dress for the Bucs tonite. Even if he does, not much expectation of him being involved

[Birk 14]

Starting Rainey LIKE A BOSS

about an hour ago

I've updated my Week 3 player rankings. Bobby Rainey is now among the top 10 RBs: http://t.co/MlGBNWJUBw

[mgs316 14]

Fo shizzle.

 

Lets just end any debate tonight Bobby, blow up again and force Tubby to end the Martin experiment.

[slotterr 2]

yep, mess has been cleaned up, Rainey is ready for launch

[Serpent 51]

I think that's exactly what will happen. Rainey is just a better talent. Martin has had something like 2 really great games in his career, a handful of mediocre games, and the rest have just been awful.

[eaglesfreak 10]

hey guys should I even consider benching Leveon Bell vs panthers and Start Rainey?? My other Rbs are Mccoy and Gio Bernard..PPR league

If you did your braver than me. Bell has looked really good especially in PPR leagues.

 

I dont have those kind of options in league i have Rainey but i am starting him over Colston, Sammy Watkins and West.

[Serpent 51]

I might be nuts but I'm starting Rainey over CJ Spiller and Darren Sproles.

[PATSSOX 22]

Thats a real easy one especially now its official Martin inactive

[Candygram4Mongo 8]

Rest of Season:

Rainey or Donald Brown?

[AintNoStoppinMeNow 68]

Hypothetically, if Rainey has another great game tonight does he not become the lead back with or without a healthy Doug Martin?!

[Mike FF Today 611]

Doug Martin is Inactive. Rainey becomes a low-end RB2 in my book.

[eaglesfreak 10]

ugh..Leveon bell or Rainey....going back and forth!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate fantasy football..soo stressful!

[Antiramie 50]

Starting Rainey over Lacy and Ivory. GO BUCS!

[ray_ray420 5]

I'm starting, w/confidence, Rainey over R Bush, J Bell, D Woodhead, and S Vareen (two different leagues).

[eaglesfreak 10]

i dont have the balls to bench leveon bell for rainey! lol

[ray_ray420 5]

I agree, CAR is giving up 4.9 ypc, and Bell gets too many touches. Have to stick w/Bell.

[eaglesfreak 10]

plus bell gets 4-6 catches where rainey doesnt catch alot

[BigD13 6]

I've got both Rainey and V. Jackson. I know Atlanta gives up a lot of passing yard, but that has been against two pretty good QB's. McCown has been bad. I just can't start Jackson. I'm going with Rainey as my flex.

Ya but if there was a game Vjax was going to break out..this is the game

[RabidSeaCows 99]

I find that after a short week RB's do well on Thursday night.

 

QB's and WR often have rhythm problems because the O-line is still tired from Sunday's game.

 

Younger teams obviously do better on the short turn-around then older teams.

 

That said, I'm still starting Ryan, Julio and Rainey and V-Jax.

 

My perfect outcome of the night: Ryan pulls a Cutler and throws 4 TD's to Julio, meanwhile V-Jax goes 150 + 2TD's and Rainey rushes for 175 and 2 TD's

 

Final Score Atlanta 45 Buck's 42 in OT

[rsmnutt 8]

Who's dropping this bum?

[Phil Simms 11 127]

Is this one of those games where everything is in a players favor but they play terribly? Rainey with 50 yards and a fumble

[Antiramie 50]

Anything is possible, but I'll take my chances against the worst run D in football.

[BigD13 6]

I just hope the fantasy gods aren't too cruel tonight

[Antiramie 50]

Tampa might have 6:00 of possession in this game. Rainey might have been a bad decision.

Negative pts. Just bench him so I can quit watching this garbage already.

It's all your fault.
