Obviously, pre-draft this would be a no brainer. But given how bad TB is, and how it looks as if age is catching up to Brady, its a tougher decision.

My current RBs are (can only play 2, no flex): Reggie, R Jennings, Sproles, Deangelo Williams, Ryan Matthews, and Bobby Rainey.

Jennings is basically a must start, but my 2nd RB spot is pretty wide open. I do have Martin's handcuff, so I see that as a good thing if Martin's injuries continue. My backup QB is Kirk Cousins.

Is the potential upside of Martin worth losing Foles and having to be replaced by either Brady or Cousins?

Nooooooooooooooo nope nope.

You can't do that trade taking a chance on BOTH Brady and Martin. If they both don't pan out then you're done.

so you are asking if you should give up Foles and Reggie for Brady and Martin?

Do not do that trade if you are getting Brady & Martin.

FIFY

Do NOT trade Foles for those two. Not even Foles alone.

I do not think there is a lot of potential upside with Doug Martin. He is injured. He is on an awful team with not a great o-line. He has looked pedestrian since his rookie year. The coaches seem to like his backup/committee member more.
