Standard scoring. Sims is interesting to me since the Bucs are going against the Falcons

I think it's one week early for Sims, but I have also been one week late on predicting the debut... with exception of Sankey. I played him the one week he did good and benched him the next.


I believe the experts are predicting Sims to get 5-6 touches, more if he does well.

Sims has the potential to get 30-60yds in the predicted 10 or so touches that TB will supposedly give him... But that's just it. IS he going to get those touches with Rainey running well? The good thing is that if the Falcons come back from their BYE legit, TB should be down by a lot, setting up Sims. Literal dart throw with him.

Mason is going to have an extremely tough time running against the Cards that has held McCoy, Murray, Mathews, Jennings et al. under 100 yards. I'm willing to bet the Cards will stack 8 and make Davis beat them through the air against an opportunistic secondary (probably give up 250, but would not be surprised if there were a INT return TD in there).

Neither seem like particularly good plays this week.

The Cardinals are a very, very tough matchup for Mason, but at least you know he will get the touches.

Sims is a huge wild card right now. Rainey will likely get the larger workload again as Sims is eased into action.

Same situation. Going Sims because I can't afford another loss and I am an underdog this week. Sims is an unknown. Hoping to get lucky with a breakout. Mason is going to get the touches, but it's just hard to see him producing well against the Cards.

Terrible options, but I think you gotta go with Sims. Cards are too good against the run and should get a decent lead at home, forcing Stl to be a one dimensional passing team.

Just read Sims may not be active. Listed as questionable. I'm screwed...don't have a single player on my bench that isn't on a bye

Cunningham (if available) over Mason is the better play probably (and if return yards are included).

Tre Mason



for the most part, you seem like you know what youre talking about... What are your thoughts on the guy? I am holding on to him because I think he'll do good when they let him. That being said, I am not starting a defense this week because of the guy. He's gotta start doing something for me to want to keep him around

I know you didn't ask me, but I think he's a solid play regardless of what Fisher says about it being a full blow committee (it's Mason and the rest; unless it's a blowout). He's just not an awesome play this week against the Cardinals imo.

No, thank you! I don't care who responds, I just didn't know if I should be holding a spot for him.
