The Bucs’ favorable schedule also boost Charles Sims to fantasy relevancy as he continues complement Doug Martin out of the backfield. Sims is the better receiver, and usually gets more work in the passing game.

Sims had 56 yards on seven carries against Atlanta this week while adding two catches for 21 yards. He has three receiving touchdowns this season and has at least 69 total yards in three of the last five weeks. He doesn’t get as many carries as the Douggernaut, but he still gets enough work to be fantasy relevant in good matchups like he has coming up.

His touches can come and go from week to week, but he’s definitely a flex option this week against the Saints in what should be a high-scoring shootout. Sims is especially valuable in PPR leagues, but he can be started even in standard leagues due to his solid totals most weeks.
