Is is time to jump ship on this guy, or too early.
To date, the biggest bust of the draft. He fell to me at 5, and I was thrilled, but now what/

Trade Or keep?- that is if anyone would trade for him

He probably has more value on your team than what you can get for him. However, if you can, try and package a WR with him and see if anyone bites for a RB/WR trade on both ends.

I wasted $60 on him.

Lucky for me though, I have Richardson as my Rb2

Through six games he has one more yard and one less TD than last year

His TDs will come now that Vjax is looking good and teams can't stack the box anymore

Thanks.. Didn't realize that

Just worried about teams loading the box with Glendon at qb.

Glennon showed some promise last game. He's doing "terrible" yet still in double digits every game except for 1 and that was 9. The TD's will come. Guys have big 2nd half seasons believe it or not.

Doug doesn't have bad numbers, he just hasn't found the end zone..... Double digit points each week in PPR league at least except for 1

Yep and hell end up in the end zone for about 6-7 straight weeks to end the year and everyone who traded FOR him will win their leagues.

So he's guaranteed to find the end zone? Yeah, so is Trent Richardson.

Martin- sub 4 ypc, no game over 15 points in PPR league, 32nd among RBs in receptions (tied with Deangelo Williams!). Those are the facts.

But hey, that 40 point game is coming and will make everything alright

Did I say he was guaranteed?

No, I was implying that hell finish much stronger than he started.

I love the fact that you hate Doug Martin owners more than Doug Martin himself.

I'm just about in panic mode over CJ Spiller in one league and Martin in the other.

Spiller I would be more worried about. FJax looks good and doesnt look like hes going away. Martin im not concerned about, they are going to keep feeding it to him and only him and Nicks will come back in the next couple of weeks.

What I am saying is that everyone is freaking out about him and will end up trading him and then hell keep up the same numbers but will start scoring and those that traded for him will win their leagues. I never guaranteed anything and I am certainly not speaking definitively about him finding the endzone. Maybe I should be more clear in me mocking people who over react.

This happens every year with different players, people flip their shite because guys dont produce then they trade them and the people who they traded them to win. Martin has ZERO competition and his best OL is about to be back, he will begin to produce better numbers in the second half. Im not saying hes gonna hang 40/game, but hell end up being a top 10 PPR back.

He should be a top 10 back based on sheer touches alone

He's sucking right now and is at 18 amongst PPR RBs
