Martin is dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2 that sidelined him last week. He has failed to practice over the past two weeks, so he may still be several weeks away from returning.
In the meantime, Charles Sims is becoming the featured back in Tampa Bay’s offense. Depending on how well he does in that role, Martin could have a reduced workload whenever he does return.
Fantasy Impact: Denver has been surprisingly bad against the run this season, and Martin would have been primed for a good game had he played. Even with Martin likely missing at least one more week, do not drop him in any league you own him in.
Martin reminded us last season that he can still be an elite fantasy running back, so be patient with this injury.
