Doug Martin or Mikel Leshoure

Being offered a trade that would involve me getting either Martin or Leshoure. Who should I go with?
Leshoure seems to have more potential for points, but its risky with the uncertainty of who starts in Detroit. Tampa Bay offense just seems to suck, but Martin gets the majority of touches

Leshoure if he continues to get the ball. Martin is getting carries but not doing shite with them.
I was pretty surprised the lions fed the ball to him like they did

Yeah and that's what worries me about him. It was so sudden. What if they change it up suddenly next week? And then Best could come back and screw things up.

Whichever one you can get while giving up the least. Martin gets his touches but has been up against stronger defenses. I think well see some better performances later in the season. Leshoure is the guy in Detroit but played Tenn. I have both and will probably continue to play martin until I see more consistency from Mikel.

I'd go with Martin

I'm giving up the same either way, it's just my choice as to which of those two. I'm not expecting mind-blowing performances from either, but a consistent performer is needed...that's why I'm kind of leaning towards Martin. And yeah, I was thinking he just played some tough Ds...he does get to play the Saints twice who are shaping up to be an awful defense

Who are you letting go of?

I'm shopping RGIII cuz I already have Cam Newton. I know I should probably get more for him but everyone in this league seems set at QB and have turned down my proposals and I'm desperate for RB help
Posted on 9/24/12 at 1:59 pm to TheShwenz
How big is your league? I would rather get rid of Cam. Still think even his value is higher than these guys. There are no other more viable options?

12 teams. I waited forever to draft RBs because all the value was gone when my picks came around
Lineup is
QB: Cam Newton, RG3
WR: Calvin Johnson, Victor Cruz, Dwayne Bowe, Santonio Holmes, Nate Washington
TE: Tony Gonzales
RB: Michael Turner, Kevin Smith, Beanie Wells
- Obviously Turner has been underwhelming, Kevin Smith suddenly got yanked for Leshoure, and Beanie Wells gets hurt every other carry

Leshoure is starting the rest of the way as long as he is healthy. No mystery to that. Kevin Smith didn't touch the ball til OT.
I don't think Best will play football anymore. 3 major concussions in one year. I'd be very surprised if he ever plays a down again.

I grabbed Leshoure last week.
I just do not see Best ever coming back. He's been out since last season, and last I read has still not been cleared. He stated basically that he was hoping to get clearance once he is off pup. I cannot imagine what a few more weeks is gonna do for something like that. His brains are going to be scrambled eggs if he keeps getting hit.
I see Martin as a slightly safer choice, but leshoure as a bit more upside.

Depending on your record. I think it might be best for you to possibly move both of them for depth at RB and a serviceable QB. Romo, Rivers, P.Manning, shite even Brady, Brees and Rogers are middle of the road right now. Try and sell Turner with his decent performances the last two weeks and probably scrap the other two. With RG3's value now you could get a stud. I definitely wouldn't give either away for Doug or Mikel though.

Personally i like Martin. Just my .02

no way in hell...no league is giving up stud rbs for 3 weeks of good qb play unless they have multiple stud rbs and horrific qb play...
eta: I change my stance...judging by the posts on here there are probably plenty leagues that will

I'm still starting Martin at this point. Once Leshoure shows me more, he may move into my starting lineup.
Really tough, because I can only start 2 rbs from:
Marshawn Lynch
Doug Martin
Mikel Leshoure
Alfred Morris
