Doug Martin follows up huge game with average fantasy day
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin was held in check by the San Diego Chargers in Tampa’s 34-24 win.
Ezra Shaw
Martin only averaged 3.6 yards per carry, but still managed a collective 119 yards between rushing and receiving.
Fantasy Impact: No one expected Martin to replicate his incredible game from Week 9 in which he rushed for 251 yards and four touchdowns against the Raiders, but being held without a touchdown has to be considered a disappointment.
Still, Martin got enough yards to put up a decent day and has shown that he belongs in the starting lineup every week. When 119 yards is considered a bit of slow day you are dealing with top-level running back, which is what Martin has become. He is a must start against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11.
