Schiano Hopes, Plans for Doug Martin to be Starting RB: Fantasy Implications
Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano says he plans for rookie RB Doug Martin to be the starter. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Tampa Bay traded back into the first round to get Martin, a rookie out of Boise State. The interesting thing about this is Blount being at the top of the depth chart, but it seems Martin will have more fantasy value going forward. What remains to be seen is whether Blount will be a factor around the goal line, but he has had a problem with fumbling in his first two seasons.
