Atlanta Falcons running back Jacquizz Rodgers had a solid outing in the Falcons 24-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rodgers carried the ball 10 times for 49 yards with a second-quarter touchdown, he also caught two passes for thirty yards.
Jacquizz Rodgers becomes a fantasy option

Rodgers was more productive than Michael Turner, who was held to 17 yards on 13 carries. The 10 carries for Rodgers tied his season high.
Fantasy Impact: With Rodgers soundly outperforming Turner it is possible the Falcons will try to work him into the offense more frequently going forward.
Atlanta is never going to be a run first team, so Rodgers value is limited, but is he can continue to play like he did against the Bucs he could become a solid fantasy option going forward.
