What It Means:

Doug Martin (hamstring) and Jacquizz Rodgers (sprained foot) will not be available, leaving the Buccaneers with a trio of Antone Smith, Peyton Barber and the recently signed Mike James. Smith out-snapped Barber 22-3 once Rodgers left Sunday's loss against the Oakland Raiders, and him and head coach Dirk Koetter have history from their time in Atlanta together. We expect Smith to see the majority of work, while Barber will likely get the short-yardage scoring opportunities. James is just another able body at this point.

Smith finished with 16 yards on four carries in Week 8, earning -0.16 Rushing Net Expected Points.
