Jacquizz Rodgers Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Peyton Barber expected to start for Buccaneers Week 13; C Joe Hawley inactive
With Doug Martin out with a concussion, Barber is expected to get the start in Tampa's backfield. He's returned 2.9 yards per carry this season and he figures to lose some early-down work to Jacquizz Rodgers and passing downs to Charles Sims. On top of that, the Packers run defense has been solid the past four weeks, limiting RBs to 67.3 rushing yards per game (9th). On the season, they're 11th in adjusted line yards while Tampa Bay's offensive line is 19th (per FO). They'll also be without Hawley, who was going to fill in for in the injured Ali Marpet, so Barber will be running behind a third-string center.
Buccaneers activated Doug Martin (suspension) for Week 5
Martin will play against the Patriots Thursday night after missing the first three games due to a suspension. He's expected to have a limited workload in his return as he hasn't been able to practice with the team while he served his three-game ban. Even though the Patriots defense has been poor against running backs, allowing the second-most yards per carry (5.1), it may be best to avoid this backfield this week as Jacquizz Rodgers and Charles Sims will pick up snaps and touches. New England has been terrible against the pass as well; they've allowed the highest-passer rating (116.5) and the most passing yards (324 per game). Through four games, every opposing quarterback has thrown for over 300 yards and at least two touchdowns. In the past, they've been able to limit their opponents' top weapons but this season they've allowed the second-most receiving yards per game to WR1s (110.7, per FO). It's a great spot for Jameis Winston and Mike Evans.
High Volume RB Bargain for week 3
If you're looking for value at running back this week, Jacquizz Rodgers instantly becomes one of my top options in the bargain bin. Known more of a "change of pace" back early in his career, Rodgers has been thrust into the lead role in the absence of Doug Martin; accumulating at least 17 touches in six of seven games dating back to last season. He should get plenty of opportunities to improve upon those totals for at least one more game this week, facing a porous New York run defense that has surrendered the third most rushing yards per game and ranks 29th in rush defense DVOA this season. With Tampa Bay likely opting to slow the game down to keep their banged up defense off the field as much as possible, "Quizz" should receive all the touches he can handle, making him a low-risk, high-reward option at a very attractive price.
Running Backs Like to Eat and This One Should Get FED
Jacquizz Rodgers is not a flashy play this week in DFS. He's not going to see as many targets out of the backfield as James White or Tarik Cohen, but he provides a high floor at a very reasonable price point. Doug Martin has been suspended for the first three games of the season, which means Rodgers is the guy in Tampa Bay. He may lose some passing down work to Charles Sims, but we can still expect somewhere in the range of 18-20 touches for Rodgers. In his five starts at running back a year ago, Rodgers handled at least 17 touches in every game and we saw him get 30+ touches in a couple of outings. When it comes to this position, we are more concerned with volume than we are with efficiency or matchups. In a home game where the Buccaneers are favored, look for Rodgers to see as many touches as he can handle. We know that the Bears have a tough front seven, but they won't be able to load the box with Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson threatening to make plays downfield.
Bears LB Jerrell Freeman not expected to play Sunday
Freeman is dealing with a concussion and a pectoral injury, putting his Week 2 playing status in serious doubt. Practice squad linebacker Jonathan Anderson has been promoted, which implies Chicago doesn't expect Freeman to play. It would be a big loss as he was their leading tackler a year ago (110) and earned an elite 93.9 grade from Pro Football Focus. If Freeman misses, it would provide an upgrade for running backs Jacquizz Rodgers and Charles Sims.
Doug Martin won't be eligible to return until Week 5
With Tampa Bay's Week 1 matchup getting postponed to Week 11, Martin won't begin serving his three-game suspension until Week 2. As a result, he won't return to the field until the Bucs visit the Patriots in Week 5. In the meantime, Jacquizz Rodgers will be their lead back.
Jacquizz Rodgers expected to get a heavy workload Sunday
Rodgers will get the start at running back and the bulk of the touches with Doug Martin and Charles Sims out. He's a player to target in fantasy in a week where plenty of teams and players will lack the playing time or motivation. Tampa Bay is still technically alive in the playoff hunt (although they need five specific teams to win and two to tie) and Rodgers has a lot on the line. The 6th-year player, who was cut by the Bears this preseason, will have one final chance to prove his worth to the Buccaneers organization. He's set to become a free agent, so this is also an opportunity to get paid by another team, should the Bucs pass. Rodgers had one of the best games of his career the last time he played Carolina, racking up 129 yards on 35 touches. He's a solid receiver and excellent in pass protection, which means he'll be an every-down player once again. The Panthers will be without their star linebacker, Luke Kuechly. Without him, they've allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to running backs over the past four weeks, despite ranking 10th in rush DVOA on the season (they were ranked as high as 6th with Kuechly in the lineup). With many unproven value backs available in Week 17, Rodgers is a more reliable option. Plus, he's in ideal Week 17 situation: he has a secure workload, he's motivated, his team is motivated, and his opponent isn't playing for anything. Rodgers projects as our RB3 on FanDuel in terms of points-per-dollar.
Doug Martin stepping away from Buccanneers
This confirms that he won't play on Sunday. Jacquizz Rodgers will lead the backfield and should see a healthy number of touches with Charles Sims also out. Tampa Bay is another team that will definitely be playing to win since their small chance of making the playoffs depends on it. Rodgers has jumped to our RB2 in terms of points-per-dollar on FanDuel.
Charles Sims to IR; Doug Martin expected to be inactive for Tampa Bay this week
The Bucs have placed Charles Sims on the IR and Doug Martin is also expected to be unavailable this week. Jacquizz Rodgers should get the bulk of the RB work with Peyton Barber spelling him some. Tampa Bay still has something to play for with an outside (albeit very slim) shot at the playoffs so Rodgers is a viable DFS option despite a relatively tough match up against a top 10 ranked run defense in the Panthers.
Doug Martin will be inactive Sunday
Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times confirms what we expected; Doug Martin will not play for the Buccaneers on Sunday. Jacquizz Rodgers is expected to start and lead the backfield in his place with Charles Sims working in behind him as a change of pace back. The last time Rodgers played the Panthers he piled up 129 yards on 35 touches. Although it's doubtful he sees that type of volume again as Charles Sims was still on injured reserve for that game, Tampa Bay is favored by 6.5 points, which means he should have a favorable game flow. Tampa Bay should be playing to win, which is another plus, as they still have an outside shot at the playoffs (although their chances are minimal). Rodgers currently projects as our RB10 in terms of points-per-dollar on FanDuel.
