Sit ‘Em #1
Doug Martin hasn’t been all that impressive so far this season with the addition of number one overall pick quarterback Jameis Winston.
Winston hasn’t seemed to take much pressure of of Martin and Charles Sims in the running game, and this has caused both backs to struggle in terms of fantasy production.
These facts aside, Martin on paper still seems to be a pretty good start on a weekly basis at least at the flex spot, but this week I am here to tell you: Do not even consider it this week.
Martin and the Buccaneers matchup with one of the stingiest run defense units in the NFL in the Carolina Panthers, and I don’t see the struggling offensive line of the Bucs being able to create many holes for either Sims or Martin in Week 4.
I would go for a waiver-wire hit-or-miss player over Martin this week if that tells you anything about what I expect from him against the Panthers.
Leave him on your bench if you can at all afford it in Week 4.
