Buccaneers' Charles Sims: Officially starting in Week 3

Sims is the starting tailback for Sunday's Week 3 tilt versus the Rams, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Analysis:

The third-year pro will get first crack at lead-back duties in the absence of Doug Martin (hamstring). Given his considerable proficiency in the passing game, Sims should see a significant boost in overall touches against the Rams, with Jacquizz Rodgers spelling him on occasion.
