Fantasy Impact:
The stars may be aligning for Doug Martin to have a bounce back year. Charles Sims seemed poised to steal receptions from Martin, however he'll be sidelined for the majority of the season. In addition. Martin has impressed coaches with his preseason play and improved pass-catching ability. At this point, his only limiting factor may be the poor offensive line play. Martin should be considered a high-end RB2 to be targeted in the late 2nd or early 3rd round.
