Blount ready to prove himself: The Tampa Bay Times reports that Bucs coach Greg Schiano said Tuesday it's too early to know how the team will split carries between running backs LeGarrette Blount and Doug Martin, who was drafted in the first round. Blount said he is looking forward to the challenge. "Them drafting a running back might be what I needed to become an every down back," said Blount, who added he lost at least five pounds this offseason. Blount says he's proving more and more everyday he can play every down. "I've been showing I can be an every down back," he said. Blount says he still sees himself as the No. 1 back. "Yeah, until they take it away," he said. "But at the end of the day, we're both going to play. But don't nobody affect my carries but me. Not what he does. ... Nobody can affect my carries but me. They drafted (Martin) because we needed him. I can't carry the load by myself." (Updated 05/15/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Blount's Fantasy value is clearly diminished with the addition of Martin, but he's not going to disappear in the offense. Blount will still get his share of touches and could work as the short-yardage back in the red zone. We consider Blount a No. 3 Fantasy option in standard leagues. He should be drafted with a mid-round pick, and hopefully he can find his way into the end zone on a consistent basis to keep his value at a high level. (Updated 05/15/2012).
