The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled on offense all season with only a couple exceptions. One of those exceptions was last week when running back Bobby Rainey rushed for 87 yards and caught a 34-yard pass against the Cleveland Browns in Week 9.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Bobby Rainey
Bobby Rainey looks to be in control of the Tampa Bay backfield. Is there any reason to worry about his fantasy production?

In his three starts, Rainey has a 5.2 yards-per-carry average, and he’s proven to be capable at picking up yards. The downside with Rainey is going to be ball security, but he has not lost a fumble since Week 3 -- he had three before then.
Rainey lost two fumbles against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, so he'll look for redemption against them this week. Atlanta ranks dead last is fantasy points allowed to running backs this season, so Rainey would be a good bet for a big game with 20 touches.
There is a small problem with Charles Sims now getting in the mix. The rookie has been limited in practice this week, and he will be eased into his role.
Fantasy impact: Rainey looks to be safe to start for at least another week. The matchup is too good.
