Running Back-(3)

Doug Martin, Charles Sims, Mike James

The Bucs’ Doug Martin and Charles Sims were the best backfield duo in the NFL last year, and they will hope to continue punishing defenses again in the 2016 season.  Martin will lead the way, fresh off of his 2015 season where he ranked second in the NFL in rushing, with Sims as the perfect complement.

The third running back spot is up for grabs.  Between Mike James, Storm Johnson, Peyton Barber, and Russell Hansbrough there is no evident favorite.  Mike James could best these other backs because of his second year knowing the offense.
