Had a decent week 1 then had hamstring issues week 2... then just recently had a "setback"... has been out since week 2 and is not playing this Sunday.

What are people doing with him? Nobody wants him when I try to trade him in a package, and I feel like he's too valuable to drop. Not to mention Jacquizz is playing well, which could be tough for Doug to jump back into his RB1 roll if and when he comes back.

If he's back near the end of the season, he has several great matchups.

Quizz assumes the Sims role when he's back.

Martin got a new contract this past offseason. If he is healthy he is playing. Quizz isn't built to carry the load over the long haul. Just have to wait it out, especially if you are poised to make the playoffs.

Rodgers was signed off the street they just gave Martin a contract for 36 mil. Look for Martin to be back next week and for Rodgers to return to irrelevancy.

In my league, Martin is a FA. Would he be worth picking up and dropping Rashad Jennings?

I would do that. Jennings isn't someone you would want to start unless you have to. Martin is a must start come playoff time with 2 matchups v the Saints.

He's only got 1 more year guaranteed on that deal. If Quizz continues to go over 100 every week don't assume the job is Martin's once he's healthy. Aside from that, Peyton Barber looked pretty good last week. I think he'll get some run again this week and they'll see what they have in the rookie.
