The fifth-year running back has been plagued with a hamstring injury this season. It has kept him out since Week 3, but his return should come soon. He was able to practice this week, though on a limited basis.
Antone Smith and Charles Sims are now on I.R. while Jacquizz Rodgers is dealing with a foot injury, so Tampa may rely heavily on rookie Peyton Barber vs. Chicago, even if Martin is able to play this week.
Fantasy Impact: If he were to play, Yahoo! ranks Martin as the 38th-best running back for Week 10. He would face a Bears defense allowing the third-fewest points to running backs.
Even if Martin were to play, the combination of a long layoff and a bad matchup would mean keeping him on the bench is the smart play.
