Current Depth Chart Status: Primary Backup/Change Of Pace
– Charles Sims was poised to breakout last season as a rookie in fantasy football before being sidelined with an ankle injury for the majority of the 2014 season. Now that he is fully healthy, expect Sims to make a push towards that lead running back job if Doug Martin doesn’t improve. We have not received any signs that Martin is going to run away with this role yet, so that has opened the door for Sims to make his presence felt. He will be much more attractive in PPR settings, but nonetheless, it would be a wise move to draft and wait with Charles Sims as I believe he is going to be a big part of this offense in 2015.
What can we expect from Charles Sims if he is not the starter? http://t.co/7B6bdylr9W pic.twitter.com/N2wN3azpGb
