Buccaneers | Bobby Rainey and Mike James likely to compete for backup job Fri Aug 15, 04:15 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bobby Rainey and RB Mike James are likely to compete for the back up running back job behind Doug Martin. RB Jeff Demps may also be in the mix as a situational player.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on both guys in the preseason here. Both James and Rainey looked good in limited duty last year. James got banged up after Doug Martin went down, which opened the door for Rainey. The former Western Kentucky back looked good against bad defenses but struggled against better teams. |

Buccaneers | Want to use rotation at RB Fri Jun 20, 04:15 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RBs Bobby Rainey, Mike James, Charles Sims and Jeff Demps will be vying for carries behind RB Doug Martin in training camp. Martin is the team's starting running back, but the team wants to use a rotation in the backfield.
| Footballguys view: Do they or don't they? We've heard the team will use a RBBC, then we've heard that Doug Martin is the man. We'll see how this shakes out in training camp. Martin will be splitting a bit of time with rookie Charles Sims. Martin's current ADP is RB12 (2.12) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
