Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 15: Bobby Rainey gets the 49ers on Sunday
Bobby Rainey had a big run on Sunday to make him a solid play against the Bills. Will he have the same luck vs. the 49ers?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Rainey turned in a nice line against the Buffalo Bills. He broke an 80-yard run on the first drive of the game to make his day in the win.
After that run, he wasn’t very effective. Rainey finished with 127 rushing yards on 22 carries and three catches for -4 yards. In other words, he had just 1.8 yards per touch after that breakout run.
He came into that game with very little momentum with just 49 yards per game in his two previous outings. The Bucs haven’t been able to move the ball much.
Fantasy impact: The Bucs get the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, so things don't look very good. They're one of the more disciplined defenses in the NFL and their linebackers can get off blocks with the best of them. Rainey is more of a desperation play this week and the odds of him breaking a big play are pretty slim. He's worth owning in all leagues and could have a better day in Week 16 vs. the St. Louis Rams.
