Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 16
SIT ‘EM
48. . Running Back. Buccaneers. Doug Martin. 2. player
Doug Martin has been a bust in fantasy football this year. That alone makes him a worthy benching option in week 16, but the other is just how inconsistent the Bucs backfield has been in 2017.
Between Martin, Peyton Barber, and Charles Sims, there’s no rhythm there. Why would anyone feel confident starting any of those guys in their fantasy lineups? Martin has also been banged up a lot this year and to be honest… He’s likely only still on people’s rosters due to his name.
Don’t count on the former Boise State standout to make noise for your team in the championship game. In fact, don’t rely on any of Tampa Bay’s running backs to do much of anything.
This is a team that vastly disappointed in 2017 and while it’s not all on Doug Martin’s shoulders, he was a major bust this season. Keep him on the bench this week.
