Fantasy Impact: 

We've heard this story before, but Martin has been good once every three years, and averaged under three yards per carry for the last two, so maybe the trend will continue. Marshawn Lynch was solid last year for the Raiders, but it is clear he cannot handle the same kind of workload he had in Seattle.

Oakland was just 19th in total PPR points at the running back position in 2017.
