Raiders Beat: Doug Martin figures to be team's lead back

With Marshawn Lynch out, veteran Doug Martin figures to become Oakland's No. 1 back.

But Martin has not been nearly as effective as the Raiders had hoped as a change-of-pace back. Lynch has avoided 25 tackles this season through Week 6, ranking fourth among all NFL running backs. Martin, though, was averaging just 0.07 forced missed tackles per touch after averaging a league-low 0.06 forced missed tackles per touch last year.
