The Facts:
The rash of injuries that have wrecked the Jets' season may have even the ultra-dependable Martin facing off-season surgery, someone with knowledge of the situation told The Star-Ledger yesterday. The news of Martin's possible surgery comes on the heels of Herman Edwards saying yesterday that veteran quarterback Jay Fiedler may also need surgery to repair a dislocated throwing shoulder.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Martin, who has been slowed by what the team is calling a sprained right knee, has struggled this season trying to become the first player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first 11 seasons. It appears he'll try to play out the string, but Fantasy owners looking for consistent totals should look elsewhere. ... Rookie Cedric Houston has been getting more touches recently, but the Jets don't seem to consider him a long-term answer.
