Bucs' Sims will debut today

Tampa Bay RB Charles Sims, a third-round pick in May whose NFL career was delayed by an ankle injury, will play today vs. Atlanta. Sims bears watching for several reasons, not least of which are that the Bucs seem to have given up on Doug Martin (not only in 2014 but longer-term) and that Bobby Rainey, despite having played well through Martin's assorted injuries, does not seem to be anything all that special. Also of note: the Falcons are about as favorable a matchup as any running back could hope for this season. Depending on how he's used -- and note that we still expect Rainey to get the bulk of the work this afternoon -- Sims has at least a chance of debuting with a big game.
