Doug Martin injury update: How to handle Bucs RB vs. Packers
Doug Martin is in danger of missing the start of the fantasy playoffs?.

Martin missed practice this week due to a concussion, which he suffered in Week 12. That made it an easy call to rule him out Friday. While Martin has had a nice season overall, he has failed to top 51 yards in four straight games. He just is not getting enough touches to be a real fantasy threat in this offense.
Fantasy Impact: With Martin now out of the picture, the Bucs will rely heavily on Jacquizz Rodgers this week. Rodgers filled in admirably for Martin when he was suspended to open the 2017 season.
This makes Rodgers a very good fantasy option for at least one week. And with the fantasy playoffs arriving soon, that means Martin is someone you can consider cutting, though it’s probably safe to keep him for at least one more week.
