12 Players to Avoid in Fantasy Football Drafts This Year
While everyone wants to know who will be the next big sleeper in fantasy football, it's just as important to find out which players we should be avoiding.

Doug Martin, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

In sharing a backfield with Charles Sims, you already know Doug Martin's ceiling in PPR leagues is suppressed.

This means that Martin will be largely dependent on his usage in the ground game, and that's a bit of a scary proposition for a team projected at 7.5 wins by Bovada.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren't a lock to succeed this year, and if they fall behind in games, Martin's role will quickly evaporate. That's a fine gamble in mid-to-late rounds, but with a third-round average draft cost, there's a bit too much risk in Martin's profile.
