David Martin

Today I gave in and picked up David Martin in the Bulletin Fantasy Football Challenge league. I've been excited about Martin for months now, but I was hoping I could pick him up later in the season. With a Week 1 contest against Washington, the risk was too high for a big Week 1 game which would prompt another owner to snag him.

Why do I like Martin? Dolphins coach Cam Cameron used Antonio Gates well in San Diego and Trent Green knows a thing or two about utilizing tight ends (ask Tony Gonzalez). Martin is tall and has more speed than a tight end should so he definitely has the tools. Pick him up as a great No. 2 tight end option who has the potential to finish the season inside the top-10 at his position.
