Rapoport: Bucs RB Doug Martin 'unlikely' to play tonight, will test knee in pregame

What about Buccaneers RB Doug Martin? I’m told he’s unlikely to play tonight vs. the Falcons with that knee injury. Will test out pregame to be sure.

Fantasy Impact: 

Bobby Rainey becomes a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 if Martin is out. If Martin is active, Rainey is still startable as a RB2/flex, but the situation is far murkier if Martin is playing tonight.

Bucs Beat: RB Bobby Rainey may get the start

Buccaneers beat writer Rick Stroud was asked about RB Doug Martin's status for tonight's game against the Falcons: "I think Martin is active but may not start. Probably go with the hot hand on (Bobby Rainey)."

Fantasy Impact: 

It sounds as if Stroud is speculating, not reporting as fact. Martin (and Rainey) owners should be aware that the situation is murky right now. Expect both backs to get touches, possibly forming a full-blown committee.

Buccaneers RB Doug Martin (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Martin apparently practiced with the first team ahead of Bobby Rainey, so it looks like he’ll get the start. HC Lovie Smith said that he wants to use two (or three) backs, so Martin’s workload may be somewhat limited this week if Rainey comes in and plays well.

Bucs 'want to play more than one running back'

Will Doug Martin be back for Thursday night’s game in Atlanta? If so, will Martin get the start? Or will the Bucs start Bobby Rainey, who is coming off a 144-yard performance against St. Louis?

There were no definitive answers from the coaching staff this week.

“We want to play more than one running back, two, maybe three,’’ coach Lovie Smith said. “That’s why we’ve had three (active) every time we could. That’s just making our running back position stronger.’’

Smith’s not dancing around. He’s serious about playing two or three running backs. He’s been saying that since he arrived, but it hasn’t happened the way Smith wants yet.

Fantasy Impact: 

This doesn't do much to answer the question at hand. Rainey's impressive game may be enough to earn him the start over Martin, who is back at practice. Neither player is a strong start this week given the murkiness of the situation.
