Martin is still out due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 2. Including this Sunday, the injury will have cost Martin six contests as he endures another lost season. There is no clear return in sight after Martin suffered a setback in Week 7, which makes holding on to him in any fantasy league a questionable move at best.
In two games this season, Martin has 25 rushes for 85 yards to go with five catches for 34 yards and no touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact: The Bucs will also be without Jacquizz Rodgers (foot) this week, which means they will rely on Peyton Barber, Antone Smith, and Mike James vs. the Falcons. Martin should get a nice workload when he returns since no one else can stay healthy or consistent.
Still, Martin is not worth holding on to in most fantasy leagues with no clear return date in sight.
