I'm worried he reopened the window for Martin. Only Martin's health and the fact that all other other backs on the roster are from past regimes makes Sims terrible performance today not door-slammingly disastrous.
How many times did he fumble?
That makes a certain amount of sense.
True. But again going back to how Lovie has raved about Sims I think he'll get every chance to show what he can do. I would anticipate his role growing in the short term. What he does will determine how much larger the role becomes.
9 weeks in the very beginning of his rookie season while playing for a terrible Tampa Bay team no less.
Yeah I'm surprised to see people so down on him. I realize he didn't go off but his YPC was better than Rainey's and he averaged 8.5 yards per catch. Plus he got double-digit touches in his first game. The fumble was bad but like someone said Lovie went back to him so that's a plus. I really didn't see anything yesterday that would lead me to think his role is going to shrink anytime soon.
If only the others will wait a few games before annointing him the Chosen One.
There'd have to be some really appealing options on the WW for me to drop a guy after only one game who the coaching staff has raved about and who got double-digit touches in his first game after missing more than two months of action. If he got 4-5 touches yesterday I would probably be less enthused. But the fact he got 10 out of the gate is very encouraging in my opinion. I agree he didn't do a whole helluva lot with them but if he got 10 in his first game I could see him getting 12-15 very soon, perhaps as soon as next week. In the leagues I'm in, I'm not dropping a RB getting that type of potential volume, especially if he has the potential to make a real impact as a receiver (which Sims does).
I agree. Dropping him after 1 week doesn't make any sense. Why would you own him in the first place? Did people really expect him to go out and rush for 100 yards in his first game in the NFL and coming off of a serious injury? I'm pretty sure he touched the ball more in his first NFL game than any other rookie RB did in their first game this year.
I understand that but there's alot more to receiving in the NFL than just ability (ie playbook ect). However, for anyone that doesn't own Sims I would consider this a very good opportunity as this short-term "let-down" should mean that the person who owns him in your league will be willing to give him up for next to nothing.
Agreed but the consensus among scouts was Sims has a great feel for all aspects of the passing game. Honestly, that's where I thought he'd make his biggest immediate impact.
I thought this too. If you woulda told me before the game he would get 8-10 carries I would have thought 4 receptions would go along with it.
We do a random drawing at the beginning of every season in our $ H2H redraft league to determine which divisions each owner will be in (Division winners get an automatic playoff berth).

I'm always thrilled when the guys in our league with this mentality are in my division.
I don't know. Did you?Grahamburn said:
Unless he flat out falls on his face (continues to fumble), it's probably a shoe in. Only thing I could see getting in the way is if Doug Martin is involved at all.
That's definitely the common sense move for them to make. Of course this is Lovie we're talking about so any sort of goofy thing could happen next.
