Oakland Raiders 2018 season grades: RB Doug Martin

The Oakland Raiders went into the 2018 with Marshawn Lynch atop their depth chart, as the veteran came back for his second season playing for his hometown team. With Lynch back in the fold, the Raiders needed to make moves to add depth to the position group, and they did so by bringing in Doug Martin to be their No. 2 back.

Martin, who was once a Pro Bowl player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, came to Oakland with fresh wheels, as he had not been used in a featured back role in quite some time. Playing on a one-year contract, Martin showed flashes of his old self late in the season, providing the Raiders with a solid option out of the backfield.
