NFL Fantasy: You need Jacquizz Rodgers!
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled to find a healthy running back all season. Star running back Doug Martin has been injured since Week 2 with a hamstring injury. Charles Sims is also injured so the job belongs to Jacquizz Rodgers. Rodgers has 69 rushing attempts this season 324 yards and has become the starter in Tampa until someone returns from injury.
Rodgers ran wild on the San Francisco 49ers rushing for 154 yards on 26 attempts in the 34-17 win. Since taking over the starting role Rodgers has two straight games with 100 plus rushing yards. Rodgers will lose some of his attempts once Martin or Sims return to the team, but until then Rodgers is a solid option.
The Bucs are going to use Rodgers for 25 plus rushing attempts each game. The Oakland Raiders are the next opponent in line for the Bucs and I expect another strong rush attack from Tampa. Rodgers is a strong option in fantasy every week until Martin or Sims return to action.
