Rapoport: Bucs RB Doug Martin (hamstring) to miss 'about three weeks,' per source

Following the results of his MRI, Buccaneers RB Doug Martin is expected to be out about three weeks with a hamstring injury, source said.

Related players: Charles Sims

Fantasy Impact: 

Sims should step into the RB1 role with Jacquizz Rodgers chipping in as the change-of-pace back. Sims should offer RB2 numbers, though his schedule is rough, with Denver and Carolina after this week's matchup against the Rams. It looks like Martin is planning to return after the team's Week 6 bye. To gauge Sims’ upside as the team’s primary back, be sure to check out Joe Holka’s #RushingExpectation write-up about the talented Tampa Bay back.
