I'd say yes, Schiano said he carried them at the end and gave him a goal line touchdown. Split carries next week, he has to do something with the opportunity now.

Coach Greg Schiano said he expects to use Brian Leonard and Bobby Rainey in a timeshare going forward. Doug Martin (shoulder) is on injured reserve and Mike James (ankle) is about to join him. In Monday night's win over the Dolphins, Leonard got 22 touches and Rainey got nine, but Rainey was the one doing work in the crucial fourth quarter. He got the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard scamper to the edge. "That's probably how we'll have to go -- ham and egging with those two guys and see what we can do," Schiano said. Look for Leonard to be the early-down pounder and Rainey to be mixed in as the change-of-pace back. The touch split should be similar to the one we've seen with Rashard Mendenhall/Andre Ellington and BenJarvus Green-Ellis/Gio Bernard. Neither back will be much more than a flex play going forward.

Who would you take first crack at: Rainey or Leonard?

I'd probably go for Rainey, but I don't think he's worth a #1 waiver claim unless you are really hurting at RB.

he's going to split carries with B.Leonard. But, Rainey has more upside out of the two.
