Fireballer 2,384 Posted October 30, 2014 Bucs beat writer Greg Auman sees 10-plus touches for Charles Sims (ankle) Sunday. It sounds like a lot for a rookie that has been on IR/return all season, but it speaks to the kind of role the Bucs want him to have. Doug Martin (ankle) is in a walking boot and highly questionable, possibly leaving Sims and Bobby Rainey as the top-two backs against the Browns' No. 30 run defense Sunday. "There's no doubt, when (Sims) is ready to go, he will give us a spark," coach Lovie Smith said. "I feel pretty confident in saying that."

Antiramie 50 Posted October 30, 2014 From 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 Source: Greg Auman on Twitter Martin is officially listed as questionable this week. Me thinks the RB situation in TB is gonna be a cluster**** ROS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flgatorguy87 160 Posted October 30, 2014 What are you leaning towards? Sims now but ask me in 5 minutes. I've set my lineup so that my flex spot is empty currently. If something changes with Sims status I can make a last second acquisition and throw in a WR from the waiver wire that would be a Jeremy Kerley level but would at least be some points. As long as nothing changes I think Sims should have about the same touches as Cadet with the chance at more if he shines. I don't think Cadet has any chance to steal the show but I'd be willing to say that Cadet is a more likely bet for 5 points. See the stupid sh!t I've been thinking all day. I need this win and that's usually when I become the over analyzer. If I lose the next 2 I'll probably start building keepers for next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cquick11 2 Posted October 30, 2014 If gio is out, I am going to start him since I have others on bye. This is a ptr league, I am hoping for ten points. I picked up moncrief as a stanby incase something changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikes_Fan 8 Posted October 30, 2014 OK, serious question. I just pulled off a trade to pick up Randall Cobb and this is leaving me with an extra roster spot to grab a FA as a potential flex option to play defensive matchups. Simms is available. Is he worth the grab, or should I go with someone like Terrance Williams despite the Cowboys situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdon 28 Posted October 31, 2014 When Charles Sims walked on the Tampa practice field today Doug Martin's boot fell off his foot and he was healed. Martin kissed Charles feet and promised to block with all his heart Sunday so that Sims could become elite. It was reported that Sims laughed and said 'I don't need blocking' jdon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bfros 53 Posted October 31, 2014 the entire thread shows how desperate we are for a new RB toy..... ...don't get me wrong, the guy was a great college football player....but if he plays, remember 3 things: 1. Rainey and likely Martin are gonna figure in (maybe Martin next week) 2. He's a rookie who's never played in the NFL 3. He's playing on a terrible terrible terrible team that will struggle to move the ball. but pick him up and stick him in (that's what she said) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
