What a bust he's been. Well one of my league's season is close to being over.

 

I traded for the guy in week 6 too.. Drank the "ROS schedule" Kool-Aid and took a flier on him. Fortunately he didn't cost me a lot (T Rich), but now wishing I could have that one back..

rotoworld says "likely done for season"

According to multiple reports, Doug Martin sustained a labrum tear in his left shoulder Sunday and is likely out for the season.

Martin's wildly disappointing second NFL campaign ends with a thud. In six games, he's rushed 127 times for 456 yards (3.59 YPC) with just one touchdown and added a meager 12 catches for 66 yards. Now he'll watch the rest of the season as sixth-round rookie Mike James operates as the feature back with third-round rookie Mike Glennon at quarterback.

+1 I got him during the off season and went into this year with D.Martin/A.Foster...thought I had me a contenda!!

 

Same 2 starting RB's I have. Thought that paired with 2 WR1's and someone like Wallace as my 3rd WR had me coasting into the playoff's.. Lost Foster yesterday too, fortunately before the game started yesterday I picked up Tate.

Even assuming that the problem in TB starts with the OL, who is his backup? It looks like Mike James but they don't appear to have given him much work; do we think TB is going to pick up Beanie Wells or Mike Turner or someone?

 

I didn't watch the game (specifically) yesterday, however I was watching the Red Zone channel. Every time they flipped to that game and TB had the ball, James was in there at RB when they were in a RB set. Don't know how good the guy is, but if he's not already rostered (I'd imagine he's not) he certainly appears to be the RB to own - not that he's gonna be a solid producer, but if you're in need of a fantasy replacement, or another RB, he's certainly someone to target.

Brian Leonard is another back on the Bucs, but the stat line shows James getting the workload. Leonard will probably be used in certain situations. He is a great blocker and has solid hands. Won't really know how they will work the RBs in until their next game, but it seems like its James then Leonard on the pecking order at this point.
