NFL insider believes RB will play big role in season debut

Bucs aren’t saying much, but I would expect RB Doug Martin to be significantly in the mix tonight coming off his suspension. They believe his return can help spark the offense. They’ll monitor him as game goes along, as he could have some rust. But my sense is they wouldn’t have activated him just to split carries with Jacquizz Rodgers. (ESPN – Dan Graziano)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Martin is far from a safe play tonight given his complete lack of practice time following his three-game suspension, but owners may not have much of a choice with the bye-week crunch starting to hit and the rash of injuries that hit the running back position last week. He’s going to be hard to trust as anything more than a flex, but he certainly has upside and the matchup working in his favor.
