Running Backs: Bobby Rainey, Doug Martin, Mike James, Jorvorskie Lane (FB)

Doug Martin has seen a majority of the snaps the past two weeks for the Bucs. Martin had a tremendous rookie year in 2012 but has struggled with injuries since. He has yet to display the athleticism or power that made his rookie year so special.

Ravens fans will remember Bobby Rainey as a preseason hero in 2012 and 2013. He has since relocated to Tampa Bay, where he has been productive, especially last year. He leads the team in carries and yards but will probably play second-fiddle to Martin. He is elusive and a good receiver, but inconsistent.

Jovorskie Lane plays a very limited role as a lead blocker and rarely sees the ball. He does have a 54-yard run to his credit, however. He can be effective in short yardage situations.
