The news is notable because Sims missed the first nine games of the season after undergoing ankle surgery in the preseason. The rookie made his NFL debut in Week 10 and got off to a slow start in his firs two weeks, rushing for just 59 yards on 21 carries and averaging 2.8 yards per carry. He added five catches for 25 yards.
Fantasy impact: Sims is not expected to miss Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, but it's worth monitoring his status over the week if his surgically repaired ankle is bothering him again. Sims led the Bucs' backfield in snaps last week and has a real chance to go off against the Bears' defense, but he remains a risky flex play, especially if Doug Martin returns this week. We like Sims as a dynasty-league stash more than a serious starting option for the 2014 fantasy playoffs.
