Doug Martin Fantasy Stats

The Oakland Raiders have parted ways with veteran running back Doug Martin after reaching an injury settlement. The team placed the 30-year-old on the IR last week with a shoulder issue but have ultimately decided to move on with Deandre Washington playing well enough in the preseason to handle the backup role. Martin could latch on to another squad midseason, but likely won't hold much fantasy value unless he takes over a starting role somewhere. Washington remains a handcuff and has no standalone value unless Josh Jacobs were to go down with an injury.

The Oakland Raiders have placed running back Doug Martinon IR Sunday and will move forward with Deandre Washington and Jalen Richard as backups to Josh Jacobs. Martin had just two carries in preseason game action while Washington made a strong case for himself shining in the team's first two exhibition games and will be the primary backup. The exact nature of why Martin was placed on the IR is unknown, but the team should pass along an update later today. Jacobs will get a slight fantasy boost as Martin was thought of to get goal-line work, but it appears that will now fall on the shoulders of the first-round rookie. Washington and Richard are purely handcuffs and have no standalone fantasy value.

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is slated for a backup role with the Silver and Black this season after leading the team in rushing in 2018. The "Muscle Hamster" racked up an underwhelming 723 yards and four touchdowns last season and will play second fiddle behind rookie Josh Jacobs in 2019. Martin didn't hold much fantasy value as a starter a year ago and is off the radar this campaign in a backup role. With Jalen Richard finding work in the passing game, it would take a significant injury from Jacobs to give Martin any sort of fantasy relevance. He's a late-round handcuff in best-ball leagues and can be avoided in season-long formats.

The Oakland Raiders re-signed running back Doug Martin to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Steve Wyche. This comes a day after Isaiah Crowell tore his Achilles during a workout on Tuesday. He will likely miss the entire 2019 season. Martin had a fumbling issue in 2018 but otherwise was decent, running 172 times for 723 yards and four touchdowns. Rookie Josh Jacobs, who was taken No. 24 overall in the first round, is expected to see the majority of carries on early downs, but Martin will be a veteran presence to help him out. Along with Bears rookie David Montgomery, Jacobs profiles as one of the better rookie running back targets in redraft leagues in 2019.

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was able to turn in a positive performance one final time in their loss against the Chiefs. Martin ended with 100 yards on 21 carries, giving him over 100 yards in his final two games. There was a bit of skepticism surrounding the signing of Martin in the offseason, but it turned out to be a solid addition, especially once he took over the starting role after Marshawn Lynch went out for the year. Martin is a free agent in the offseason and has a chance to return to Oakland if Lynch decides to retire.

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin had his best game of the season, which helped propel to the Raiders to the win. He ended with 107 yards on 21 carries with one touchdown, which was a season-high in both carries and yards. This now gives Martin four touchdowns in his last five games, a surprising level of production since he took over the starting role from Marshawn Lynch. Martin has one final game next week against the Chiefs to close out a strong second half of the season. He was able to find the end zone the first time he played Kansas City this season, along with adding in two receptions in the passing game.

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was held in check all day against the Bengals and unable to post solid fantasy numbers against the Bengals. Martin had touchdowns in three straight games coming into this week but was unable to extend that streak. He ended with only nine carries for 39 yards, which is the first time he had less than double-digit carries since taking over the starting role from Marshawn Lynch. Martin will continue to make a low-end fantasy option due to the overall inefficiency of the Oakland offense.

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin has a three-game touchdown streak in the works and he will look to extend that versus the Bengals this Sunday. Martin has seen double-digit carries in each game he has started since Marshawn Lynch went out with an injury and turned that into three touchdowns, one in each of his last three games. The matchup this week is very favorable since he is up against the Bengals who have the 28th DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) versus the rush this season.

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was able to extend his touchdown streak to three games during Sunday's win against the Steelers. Martin had very limited production overall, with only 16 rushes for 32 carries, but was able to punch in the one touchdown. He has done a solid job filling in the starting role since Marshawn Lynch went out with an injury but will continue to make a low-end RB2 option due to the overall inconsistency of the offense.

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee) and wide receivers Jordy Nelson (foot) and Seth Roberts (concussion) are all active for Week 14 against the Steelers. Running back C.J. Anderson is a healthy scratch after just being signed earlier this week. Martin was expected to play but is more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in a game where the Raiders may be playing catch-up from the very start. Nelson was never in danger of sitting and should be heavily targeted. He has WR3 upside. Roberts will be in on three-receiver sets but hasn't been able to do much this year, even with Martavis Bryant out for the year.
