Aerial shows command the headlines in the NFC South, but the division won’t shy from punishing opponents with formidable ground attacks.
Tampa Bay comes off a season ranked 24th in the league, averaging 101 yards per game, but the biggest question mark surrounds Doug Martin, who averaged a paltry 2.9 yards per carry in an injury-plagued season.
Which version of Martin shows up in 2017?
The healthy version with two 1,000-yard campaigns on his career (2012, 2015) or the one with three less than 500-yard rushing efforts (2013-14, 2016)?

The Falcons boasted a formidable one-two punch in 2016 with Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman to finish fifth in the league in rushing, averaging 120.
