Bobby Rainey crashed and burned on Thursday Night Football

 

RB Fantasy News - 

With fantasy RB stud Doug Martin sitting out with a hamstring issue, Bobby Rainey got his shot against the division rival Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy owners scrambled to get Rainey into their lineups as a RB fantasy football option and he put on a pitiful performance fumbling the rock away not once, but twice as the Falcons humiliated the Bucs 56-14 in a game that was out of hand by the end of the first quarter.

It wasn't a total bust for fantasy owners, especially in PPR Leagues. During GARBAGE TIME, Rainey managed almost the entire bulk of his 105 yards from scrimmage catching seven passes for 64 yards and rushing for 41 yards on eleven carries. But as fantasy owners know, fumbles some how always find a way to hurt fantasy owners.

Tampa coach Lovie Smith actually benched Rainey after his first fumble, but had to put him back in because he really had no other options.

Expect Doug Martin to regain his starting role when he returns to the team for their Week 4 road matchup against the Steelers.
