The Facts:
The NFL's No. 4 all-time leading rusher said he is working out every day so he can come back as quickly as possible, and is hopeful he can play in the season opener Sept. 10 at Tennessee. But he made no guarantees about when his injured right knee will allow him to resume his career. "I'm working out as hard as I can," said Martin, resolute as always. "I don't know how long it will take me. All I can do is keep working the way I'm doing."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Recent reports have indicated Martin urged the Jets to take a running back high in the draft, that he's considered retirement and that he has virtually no cartilage in his knee. Instead of dismissing the reports, Martin declined to comment on them. About the only thing he was willing to say was he hasn't had any additional surgery. ... Despite Martin's insistence, we strongly recommend laying off on draft day -- at least until we know more.
