Bobby Rainey (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVEAdd in All Leagues (PPR and Standard)

OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Much to the delight of fantasy managers and probably the Buccaneers, Doug Martin found himself inactive for this game. Coincidentally, the very young exciting rookie back who has drawn comparisons to Matt Forte named Charles Sims was supposed to come off the IR and dominate the league. Unfortunately for those speculating on Sims,the Bucs didn’t quite trust giving the duty of starting over to someone who has never even had a touch in the NFL.

So who would come to save the day for owners like myself who were in bye week and injury hell? None other than Bobby Rainey who has been featured in this article many times before.  The Rain Man brought the thunder against the Browns (told you the bad jokes were back!) to the tune of 19 rushes for 87 yards. Just for good measure he also added a reception for 34 yards. Not a bad day for the 5’8 212 undrafted back.

In fact,  the Bucs reluctance to go to Rainey sooner is a little hard to comprehend given his 4.6 yards per carry over 62 attempts prior to this game. I think it’s safe to say that Doug Martin can be safely dropped in 10 or 12 team redraft leagues. However, don’t go all in on Rainey. I do expect Sims to get his share of the carries, and the Bucs just simply aren’t a good enough team to see both players excel.
