Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin actually got it going last week. He rushed the ball 14 times for 96 yards in a loss to the Carolina Panthers. It should be noted that he had a 63-yard run, so that stat line is a little misleading. Plus, the Panthers are one of the easiest matchups for backs, too.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 16: Doug Martin is risky
Doug Martin had a decent game in Week 15. Should fantasy owners use him?


This week, they get the 16th-toughest matchup for fantasy backs: the Green Bay Packers. The Pack figures to blow out the Bucs because they are coming off a bad loss and need a win to fight for a bye in the playoffs. The Buffalo Bills had some success against them on the ground, but the Packers held backs below 90 yards in each of the three previous weeks before that.
As for the Bucs, their offense has been a lost cause all season. Martin and Co. haven’t been able to find running lanes, which should continue on Sunday.
Fantasy impact: He’s not a top-30 back.
