Buccaneers will be extremely cautious with Doug Martin (hamstring)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be "very cautious" with running back Doug Martin (hamstring) since Jacquizz Rodgers is performing so well in his absence, the Tampa Bay Times' Greg Auman expects.
Martin suffered a setback two weekends ago when the Bucs were coming out of their bye week, and he's again considered week to week. Rodgers has posted back-to-back 100-yard rushing games without Martin, so there's no need to rush Martin back into the fold with Rodgers and Peyton Barber proving capable short-term fill-ins.
Among the 55 running backs with at least 30 rushing attempts through Week 7, Rodgers ranks 16th in Rushing Net Expected Points per carry.
