djk80 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Few people in my leagues have dropped him. Wondering if I should pick him up possibly for playoffs if he comes back. Haven't heard much from him lately still just the could be out 2 or 7 week possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk80 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 The Bucs being so bad though not sure how much they want to risk.........tough to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk80 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 I just found this for today :: Speaking Monday, coach Greg Schiano said Doug Martin (shoulder) will "hopefully" be able to play "soon." Schiano conceded that right now, Martin can't play. That means Mike James will get another start Sunday, this time in a nearly impossible matchup at Seattle. Martin's timetable is extremely fluid as playing through a torn labrum for an 0-7 team appears counterproductive. Previous reports had Martin's timetable at anywhere from two weeks to two months. ----------Tough call how he will be when/if he gets back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for nothing, Greg. Also, not sure what site you grabbed this from... but "a nearly impossible matchup at Seattle"? Look, I know the Hawks are a lot better at home, but Zac freakin' Stacy just ran for 100+ against them and Arian Foster also had fine success against them. Not saying James is going to get 100+ or anywhere close... but that's bad reporting, IMO. As for Martin, I picked him up in a 10-team non-ppr league. Couldn't sit on my #1 waiver priority any longer. If he is back in a few weeks I think he'll have a few good games in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Dont understand why they brink him back this season. Hes their rb of the future and they are already playing for next season. Why risk further damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why risk further damage? I'm thinking this...Schiano is another story tho as he's looking to control the damage. Still dropped him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I just dropped him too. Somehow, Andre Brown was still on the waiver wire, and I grabbed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekez Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just dropped Martin for Vereen (PPR league), Brown and Ellington were available as well (10 team). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Rugby Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I finally parted ways with him (also got Brown). I am not believing that he comes back this season. So far, no one has decided to pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historymike Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Dropped the Muscle Hamster a few weeks ago and I do not regret it. Even if he somehow plays again this year, the Bucs are not going to risk burning him up or reinjuring him with 30 touches a game if he is not 100 percent.

onbrake Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm 8-0 so I picked him up for the playoff stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloroform Rx Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Is there any insight into other players who have suffered similar injuries and what their recovery time was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historymike Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Is there any insight into other players who have suffered similar injuries and what their recovery time was? These injuries are all over the map. Mark Sanchez and Drew Brees each had multi-month rehabs following surgery, but then again they throw for a living. I read somewhere time lost for the average NFL labrum tear is three weeks, but the range goes from one week to 12 weeks. This link discusses in more detail the range of severity.

wpayers Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Mark Sanchez has a very similar injury and he's out for the season. He elected to have surgery rather than wait it out like Martin is doing. I can't speak to relative severity of the two cases but the injury certainly is not minor.

wpayers Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The Huddle News feed is stating that Schiano indicated that Martin may play in week 10. I can't find any other mention of this. Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said RB Doug Martin (shoulder) has a chance to play Week 10. Huddle Up: This would effectively nullify Mike James' value. Keep an eye on this. Can anyone locate a source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me the source was GREG SCHIANO... ....the huddle usually doesn't post stuff like this unless it was actually said....good news if you are a Martin owner or it may just muck up your lineup for the rest of the season feeling you have to start him....

stevegrab Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Info is all over the board on this guy. From his coach saying 3 days ago that he needed surgery to talk of him returning Nov 11. I did see this on CBS sports which kind of echoes the Huddle News by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (03:45 pm ET) Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano said Monday running back Doug Martin is "in play" to return to the lineup Week 10 vs. Miami. Martin has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddle get their news from KFFL says that at the top of the page. I think they just write the Huddle Up piece, and I presume they verify anything they feel is questionable before posting it. I am guessing that Schiano said this in some press conference today. Dig around more, maybe on the local TB papers or the Bucs site and you can probably find a transcript.

Joebirds55 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Very useful information, thanks Because posting a link to cbssports, roto, espn etc that anyone on this forum has probably already seen would've done wonders....

I actually have a source in the bucs training room and Martin is definitely out No because saying you don't trust any info from Schiano has no meaning. Somebody was looking for info, I scanned a few links I found and posted something. I was trying to be helpful. I don't have an inside source like you do. If you had info then post it.

koralkillers Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I watched his press conference today and he did say Martin was in line to possibly play this week...he also talked about having two capable backs the rest of season..sounds to me that Martin will be back sooner than later...
