LeGarrette Blount Returns To Practice For Bucs; Fantasy Value Remains Low
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeGarrette Blount returned to practice on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: Blount is not currently a factor in Tampa Bay's offense and of little value to fantasy owners. It's good news for him that he has been cleared to play but Martin was featured heavily in the team's Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers. Martin is the only Tampa Bay back to own heading into this weekend's game with the New York Giants. He is a fringe No. 1 running back in a 12-team league.
