Thinking between Martin vs NE or Cohen vs Minnesota. Standard league. Which one should I start? My other RB I’m starting are Latavious Murray and Kareem Hunt as my flex. Freeman is on a bye and I’ve already dropped Dalvin cook for Murray.

What kind of production/carries can we expect from Martin?

I have a similar concern, as I need to decide between Martin and Wendell Smallwood. I think the real issue is how much of a reduced role (if any) will Rogers have? Admittedly, he has filled in adequately during Martin's absence. That may mean Martin gets fewer touches than a true RB1, or even a lesser RB2.

I'm going to search the net to see if there are any updated reports on Martin's work this week in practice. Perhaps there will be some mention if he's getting 1st team reps. It also doesn't help that this is a Thursday night game. I may end up flipping a coin at 6:55pm on Thursday. But in all seriousness, I'm leaning towards starting Martin.

I'd be cautious. How many practices is he even going to have this week.

I'm sitting him in favor of Duke in PPR. Need to see his usage before I throw him in a lineup.

yeah I've already been cautious to start many offensive players playing in Thursday night games this season. No way I'd want to have to rely on Martin if I don't have to

I think you can roll him out as a fine flex play, maybe even RB2. I wouldn't expect a huge game though. To respond to the original question, I'd probably play Martin over Cohen in standard.

Starting him in my 16-team 2-QB league this week. Hoping for the best.
