Bucs Offensive Coordinator Calls LeGarrette Blount A Complimentary RB: Fantasy Implications
The offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is calling LeGarrette Blount a complimentary running back. We break down the fantasy implications.


Fantasy Impact: It has been pretty clear for a while that Martin was being prepared to be the primary back for the Bucs. Blount rushed for 781 yards last season but isn’t looking like a viable option in 2012 for fantasy owners. Sullivan’s comments seem to confirm that Martin is the only Tampa Bay RB that fantasy owners will want to open the season.
