Ian R. Rapoport , NFL Network, Sports ReporterSorry. He might not even play.
#Bucs will activate rookie RB Charles Sims today, source says. He’ll play Sunday.
On a serios note though...anyone starting him this week is in desperation mode. Hoping for the best!

I am starting him. Gio is hurt but I am playing hill. Eddie Lacy is on a bye so I am starting him. I am going up against the guy who has ingram, hilman, and arian foster. Praying for the best...

Tampa Bay head coach Lovie Smith's commenting on RB Charles Sims in a weekly coaching video.
Go to the 2:30 mark of the vid.
Lovie's voice sorta hesitates when asked if Sims can make an instant impact.
He says something along the lines of. 'Ah eee yes. He's a good football player and he's made good strides to get back on the field. Ahhh as far as him being able to go? He's getting closer.' And ah... in the next couple of weeks we feel we can get him on the football field.

Confirmed.

Took another look at some tape of him and ahh... yeah. He looks real quick, big, strong, can catch.
Just not sure of how much work they'll give him and the Bucs are hurting on the offensive line so it might take a little while to see what he can really do.

Wait a second...
Pump the breaks.
Not seeing this ANYWHERE else.
Not at PFT, not on the Tampa Bay sight, not on feeds for Tampa Bay reports, ESPN hasn't picked it up.
Premature tweeteration at this point.
I'd wait for better sources to confirm.

11-60-1 + 3-35 = 18 points. Based on TB saying they'll give him a lot of burn.

I need to hit a homerun with my flex spot so mighty play him over Mike Evans. Bye weeks stink.

Still haven't seen any official news that Sims has been activated, just rehashing the report that he WILL be activated not that he HAS been activated.
PFT wouldn't sit on a story for hours and they not only haven't reported this, they haven't even said that according to> blah blah blah on Twitter player-X has been activated but the official team site has nothing yet.
The only other report that corresponds with the original source is Ian Rappaport but his tweet is from 8:52 this morning.
Charles Sims*, TB RB IR

Is this considered the official bandwagon thread?
conservative projections this week.
8 carries/48 yards
6 rec/70 yards
possible TD
have him as a solid RB2 this week.

if he doesn't play of course expectations need to be tempered, but all the dominos are falling into place for this guy to have an epic end of season run.
Probably the best receiving back to enter the league in a long time. Tampa sucking could be good for him to put up insane receiving numbers.
The bandwagon is gaining steam but it's just getting started.
steveski
Footballguy
118 yards and a possible TD is your conservative estimate? So like a top 5 RB this week...
ILUVBEER99
Footballguy
i may be a bit optimistic but the FBG staff projections have him around 8-10 carries. what they are missing is that if he plays enough to get that many carries there is no way he's only getting 1 reception which is what they have projected. I just assume they aren't aware of what kind of receiver he is.

At this point it's not even a sure thing he's playing tomorrow, but he's made it past the first hurdle... onto the next.

PPR, flex over Hurns, Nicks, Clay and Kearse. So yeah, pretty much desperate.
I'm not so sure. If he's healthy enough to play and cleared by the doctors and he's been practicing then I think it will come down to who has the hot hand. If he gets an opportunity and gives a spark they might give him 10-15 touches. Which against Cleveland can mean very good production.

I hope Rainey fumbles.
Who are you guys starting Sims over?

I'm sitting him for Bradshaw, Oliver, and Desean Jackson. I really considered sitting Oliver but I feel like I need to see a week out of Sims first, especially when Oliver seems to have a pretty high floor (and this might be the last week I get good production out of him). I feel good about Sims, but not good enough to start him over those guys.

i think you're making the smart decision, as high as i am on Sims he's a huge risk this week and those other guys are all pretty solid plays this week.

Not starting him, but cautiously optimistic.

Kind of. But I think he's getting one more shot. Like if he goes out tomm and goes for a buck fifty and a td, I'm going to temper my excitement for Sims.

I'm currently starting him because I have Forte and Lacy (keeper league, short rosters with Starks) on bye. He's my RB2 with Ingram.
I could pick up someone like Christine Michael or Peerman but I feel like they will be as much as a crapshoot as Sims. Either way I'm not expecting much.
I like the enthusiasm but anything more than 5 points (maybe 10 in PPR) is pretty optimistic.

I'm really surprised people are starting him his first week back. Isn't Rainey going to be the main guy this week with Sims only sprinkled in? I own Sims in two redraft leagues, but I guess I want to see something before I throw him out there in my starting lineup.

Again, anyone starting him probably doesn't have the luxury of taking a wait and see approach.

Indeed. With BYE weeks upon me at both RB spots, I'm putting in Sims over Chris Johnson. The fact that Chris Johnson is my back up RB should symbolize what kind of situation Chris Sims might be used in.

I have him and Rainey in one of my leagues, I am starting Rainey now, but I am waiting to hear reports from ESPN and other sources to get more info.
