Doug Martin. 1. player. 48. Week 5 Projection: Standard: 14/PPR: 15. RB. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Start Em #1
After making my “Sit Em” list from last week, Doug Martin moves to the other side of the board this week. He and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be payed a visit by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have a pretty bad rush defense.
Martin will look to build on the best game he’s had in almost 2 years, gaining over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown against a pretty good Carolina Panthers defensive unit.
Martin seems to getting more and more involved in the Bucs offense under the new Lovie Smith regime in Tampa Bay, and I think his role will only increase if he can continue to produce at this rate.
Consider him a solid #2 fantasy running back for Week 5.
