The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have ruled out Doug Martin against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. Martin is dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2 that continues to sideline him.

Making matters worse is Martin suffered a setback earlier this week. He is now out with new clear return date in sight. He has failed to practice since Week 2, so he may still be several weeks away from returning.
In the meantime, Charles Sims is on I.R., leaving Jacquizz Rodgers to be the featured back in Tampa Bay’s offense.
Fantasy Impact: Even with Martin likely missing at least one more week, try to avoid dropping him in any league you own him in. He showed us last season that he can still be an elite fantasy running back, so be patient with this injury.
In the meantime, Rodgers is a great pickup whether you have Martin or not.
