Ask the Expert Question: Through two exhibition games, pick one player who has really impressed or disappointed you, and say why.

Through two exhibition games, pick one player who has really impressed or disappointed you, and say why.

TB running back Doug Martin has impressed. This preseason he has run 11-78 (one nice rush for 30 yards last week) and added a catch for nine yards. He is in the last year of his rookie contract so he should be motivated. He has a new QB in Jameis Winston who will benefit from check downs and screen passes-thus setting Martin up to catch more passes. He is healthy (some say slimmer and quicker) unlike his past two years when he suffered ankle and shoulder injuries.  He looks like his 2012 rookie form when he had, wait for it, 1900 combined yards and 12 TDs. Add in the fact he is just 26 yet almost a forgotten player due to his disappointing past two years and you have a potential sleeper success. Take the chance on him-you will not regret it.
