The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have ruled out Jacquizz Rodgers for their Week 10 clash with the Chicago Bears.
Jacquizz Rodgers injury update: Bucs RB out vs. Bears, for fantasy owners
The Bucs’ backfield continues to be an injury-riddled mess.

Rodgers suffered a foot injury back in Week 8 before missing Week 9. Injuries had allowed Rodgers to become the top back in Tampa, but they may also cost him that spot as well.
In six games this season, Rodgers has 88 rushes for 393 yards and one score to go with nine catches for 58 yards. Doug Martin’s hamstring injury is what allowed Rodgers to take over as the lead back in this offense.
Fantasy Impact: With Rodgers set to miss this game, it looks like rookie Peyton Barber may draw the start, though Martin is listed as questionable to play. Either way, Rodgers suddenly does not look like a smart player to keep on your fantasy roster. He’s failed to practice for three straight weeks now, so cutting him may be the smart play.
