The Facts:
Martin says he will be cleared for full activity next week after recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. "I feel great. My arm is about to get cleared this week," Martin said. "I'm just getting my strength back. It's been too long since I've been out of the game."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Martin's absence had the positive effect of forcing the Bucs to build depth with Mike James and Bobby Rainey, who each rushed for more than 500 yards. But new HC Lovie Smith says the Bucs will rely on Martin. "We're going to lean on one guy, but I like the rotation," Smith said. 'I think you have to have a bell cow. He's ours. At the running back position, there are enough reps to go along. We want three guys we feel comfortable with. Two will play, but it's not a rotation that where every series we're going to have a different guy in there. ...' During a recent appearance with the FootballDieahrds on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, PewterReport.com's Mark Cook suggested a 70-30 split in the backfield with Martin playing the lead role.
