Falcons running back Jacquizz Rodgers again took a back seat to Steven Jackson Week 9 at Carolina, but he showed he's still a factor in the passing game even as a backup. His six catches tied tight end Tony Gonzalez for the team lead.
Of course, he had only 25 yards on those six catches and wasn't much more effective as a rusher, picking up 19 yards on five carries. But he looks like he won't be confined to strictly a backup role even with Jackson back.
Rodgers will look to validate his place in the backfield rotation Week 10 against the Seahawks.
