TB RB Doug Martin - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Seattle
Doug Martin had over 100 total yards last week on 27 touches. Given his workload, it's pretty clear he's fully healthy from the injury that kept him out several weeks this season.

This week, he'll face a Seahawks team that has allowed some decent performances to backs this season. One might think Seattle has a tough defense, but they've allowed backs to go over 110 yards in four of the last five games.

Martin will be a solid RB2 play in Week 12.

TB RB Doug Martin - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Kansas City
Doug Martin didn't look great in his first game back, finishing with 33 yards on 16 carries. He did score a touchdown, which is a strong possibility in every game moving forward.

However, he may not find the end zone this week against the Chiefs, as Kansas City has only allowed one rushing score to a back over the last eight games. Martin should get plenty of touches, which makes him a decent play, but he won't be much more than an RB2 this week.

TB RB Doug Martin - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Arizona
Doug Martin had a role on the ground, and in the passing game, en route to a 96-yard day. He didn't have a touchdown, but that yardage total is nothing to laugh at. It's encouraging to see 34 of his yards come on five receptions, as Martin wasn't used much as a receiver last season.

The Bucs back may not have the same success this week, though as he'll be going against a tough Cardinals defense. Still, Martin will get his touches (he had 18 carries in Week 1) so he's still a solid start. He should be viewed as a RB2 play.

TB RB Doug Martin - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Atlanta
Doug Martin surprised nearly everyone with his season in 2015 when he finished second in the league in rushing yards. That led to a big contract, which means Martin is comfortably the starting back in Tampa, even though Charles Sims is a lingering threat.

Martin will get a favorable Week 1 matchup against the Falcons, a team that allowed the most rushing touchdowns a season ago. Martin played well in 2015 against Atlanta, putting up 178 total yards in two games, with one touchdown. Martin should be viewed as a RB1 option this week.

TB RB Doug Martin - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
After a few down years, Doug Martin broke out again in 2015 and nearly led the league in rushing. His big production led to a new contract, and he's ready to do the same thing again in Tampa this season.

Not only did Martin finish with 1,673 yards from scrimmage last season, he also had 288 carries, which was second in the league. He'll get plenty of opportunities in Tampa Bay's offense to try and repeat his success.

Fantasy Downside
While it's nice Martin played well last season, it's hard to ignore the two years prior. Yes, he had injuries cut his seasons short, but even beforehand, he wasn't playing well.

His usage could also come into play as the Bucs have a talented Charles Sims playing behind Martin. It obviously didn't factor in a year ago, but it's possible the coaches are looking for a way to share the workload.

Bottom Line
Martin's overall numbers might take a slight hit, but overall, he should finish on the low-end of the RB1 spectrum.

TB RB Doug Martin - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Carolina

Doug Martin has a chance to win the rushing title as he's just 64 yards behind leader Adrian Peterson. This is likely something Martin has in the back of his mind as he faces the Panthers in Week 17.

It will be a tough task for Martin, as the Panthers' defense is tough against the run. Although Martin did finish with 143 total yards against them earlier in the season. Martin should be viewed as a low-end RB1 this week.

TB RB Doug Martin - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Chicago

Doug Martin is averaging 120 rushing yards per game in his last five outings, and is easily becoming one of the best running back options this season. We expect him to continue his strong production in a favorable matchup against Chicago.

The Bears have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing backs this season, and Martin is a guy who can take full advantage. He should be viewed as a strong RB1 play this week.
