Is this a no brainer? Non PPR. I have no idea what to think about Martin. Thought he looked good in his first game back and Julio hasn't been his typically self.
My other RBs: Bell, Hyde, Powell, D. Johnson, Cohen
My WRs: cooks, Hilton, Jeffery, garçon, sanders

I'm taking Martin. Will finish a top 10 RB. Julio isn't done per say but his best days are behind him IMO.

I would take it. Martin looked fine but it was all over an abysmal Pats D and plus no PPR takes away a good bit of his value

Can we be in a league together next year?

His injuries are quickly catching up with him. I'm trusting my eyes on this one.

Not to hijack the thread, but I just traded Doug Martin for Michael Thomas, thoughts?

Absolutely would rather Julio over Martin all day every day. Take the deal.

What about giving up Kelce for Martin? I have Jordan Reed as well. My rb's are crap. Thoughts?

frick no. You don't trade Julio Jones for freaking Doug Martin. Martin has played one (good) game, and was against a terrible Pats defense. I'd need to see way more from him before I'd even consider this kind of trade.

I'm assuming you took Julio in the first...

...Would you really take Martin over Julio if you were re-drafting today?

Reading is hard.

OP clearly stated he was offered Julio for Martin.

You have to jump on this deal. as others have said, Martin played against a bad D and shares the backfield w/ Rodgers. Julio has not had a great start to the season, but it would be a safer bet that he will finish with a stronger season that Martin from here on out.

I wouldn’t say he shares the backfield with Rogers. Rogers is clearly the backup. Martin was even put in during passing downs.

Tough decision. Martin will be a top 10 rb for the rest of this year if he stays healthy.
