splotchman Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've been waiting all year for Doug Martin to breakout and it's fabulous to see him REALLY do so in primetime tonight. He's been solid since the bye, but outstanding tonight. My new mancrush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yeah, I think someone around here really liked him this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekez Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Oh yeah, I benched him for Sproles . I bought the whole "MIN is an elite run defense" crap. Just glad I didn't have them to start and DIDN'T start Kyle Rudolph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Tell me that ain't true! Why cause Bush is horrible? And Martin going against a decent Defense in their house. It's not like he's been lighting up the stat line What's so hard to believe about this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEPats Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Traded him for Mathews... Hopefully the latter blows up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekez Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Martin hasn't put up great numbers so far, so I agree with you that benching him against a good run D is reasonable (that's why i benched him for sproles in a PPR). But I think the problem with martin is that he wasn't getting the rock enough, they kept giving blount too many caries. Looks like the coacing staff finally realized what they had and figured out that its a good idea to give Martin the bulk of the carries. Pissed of that I benched him this week but hoping that he is going to get a ton of work going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's been lighting up the stat line What's so hard to believe about this I said nothing about how hard it was to believe and rather just stated,"Tell me it ain't true" expressing my feelings that I was really hoping that well... it wasn't true because of the big night Martin just had.

FUBARED Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I drafted this guy as my RB2 and have waited and waited, finally pays off huge for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Figures that this happens when I'm playing against him in every league but one. Makes me want to feed my cat a hamster...

KOKIDKOKID Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Sat him too....in my local league where I was (am) 7-0....benching him ought to cost me a win - I deserve to lose. Sat him in favor of CJ0K, Sproles and flavor of the week Rashad Jennings....heck Martin could cumulatively outscore all 3 combined this week. ) KO'd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butkus Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Been using him as a flex for most of the season with middling to poor results. He's most certainly looking better than a flex moving forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattk53 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Started him because Rice was on a bye! Going forward he, RR, and A. Morris make a nice threesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinatown dragons Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Started him because Rice was on a bye! Going forward he, RR, and A.

cubdaddy Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Went against the grain in my draft ...went QB, WR, WR in first 3 rounds...picked him 5.05 as RB2...I hope he keeps it up! With that long run and as bad as Ware is on 3rd down...I hope DMart gets more work in those situations...TB needs to use him more in the screen game...ala Brian Westbrook...

MikesVikes Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I decided to start him before the game in one league. I drafted Richardson over Martin on one league and Martin over Richardson in another. I thought that I would regret not picking Richardson but I didn't want all the same players in 10000 leagues.

I grabbed him late like that as RB2 in all my leagues but one...but I had him on the bench in one this week too Shouldn't be problem, but you hate to see those points sitting.
