Doug Martin was a surprise healthy scratch in Week 16 which allowed Rodgers to lead the Bucs' backfield in playing time (62 percent) and total touches (17). With the Bucs now out of the playoffs, if Martin is injured it's entirely possible they shut him down for Week 17. And even if he's not, Rodgers' 4.5 yards per carry average in Week 16 was nearly a full yard higher than Martin's best average since returning from injury. Rodgers could simply hang onto this job outright, making him worth a look.
