American Chewy 98 Posted November 8, 2016 Was dropped last week in my league as a bye week casualty (still a bad move by that owner considering who he kept). Thinking of bidding heavily as his playoff schedule looks good and thier rb situation is such a mess right now. Thoughts? Any idea when he will be back?

bandrus1 413 Posted November 8, 2016 If he plays NO late in the year he could be a monster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimaveli 119 Posted November 8, 2016 He has not been seen. There's no weird report where some guy saw him jump through some tires or up a hill. I don't trust him to be in shape for real upon his return. He could be walking around looking like Lacy for all we know. It is not unreasonable to start believing that he's not coming back. But I've been trying to trade for him in a league where I don't have him. I'm holding onto him in another and cannot accept someone else benefitting from him showing up two weeks from now. Supreme rb performances are tough to find on the waiver wire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,315 Posted November 8, 2016 Well I'd definitely take a shot at him since he could be big down the stretch. However chances are probably just as good that he never fully returns this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted November 8, 2016 I've heard he has a shot to make his return this week. I think there's too good of a chance for him to be a monster down the stretch to not make a run for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimaveli 119 Posted November 9, 2016 Unicorns and fairies! Douglas Martin has been seen. At a practice. It means little to nothing but at least it is proven that he still exists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 591 Posted November 9, 2016 if he's on the wire, there is no doubt he should be rostered. They may ease him into the lineup over a couple of weeks, so starting him this week is questionable, but I have no doubt, the right move is to try and pick him up. if you are RB needy and have a playoff spot locked up, then I'd break the bank to get him (if you are on a blind bid system) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niner49er 6 Posted November 9, 2016 Someone dropped Martin in one of my leagues, and I'm on the fence if I should drop Carlos Hyde or Ingram to get him. I have 2-3 other solid backs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimaveli 119 Posted November 9, 2016 I'd drop Hyde for him with little to no fear. Keep or trade Ingram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted November 9, 2016 Agree it's a easy choice. Let Hyde go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcgangstas 41 Posted November 10, 2016 Agree it's a easy choice. Let Hyde go. Agree. Two matchups with the Saints is golden in the FF playoffs (assuming that you make it there,of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Chewy 98 Posted November 10, 2016 Another guy in my lead outbid me, he used nearly all his blind bid $ (more than I had left). I grabbed barber for this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimHauck 1,801 Posted November 10, 2016 Maybe I missed something but what makes Martin that much more valuable than Hyde? Seems like their injury status is similar, and Hyde at least put up some decent numbers in the games he has played. Martin meanwhile only averaged 3.4 YPC in the 2 games he actually played in.

Small sample size. Too small to use for projecting the rest of the year. you should look at last year's numbers as well. given his injury status, I wouldnt expect him to be 100% as good as last year (yardage wise), but I wouldnt expect he'd be as bad as he was in the first 2 games either. My guess is he will rush at an 1100-1200 yard per year pace. I also think he cant do worse than the 0.2 TD per game he got last year. So plan on 75 yards per game and 1/3 to 1/2 a TD per game. overall 10 fantasy points per game (give or take) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted November 10, 2016 Martin is the better over all player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimaveli 119 Posted November 10, 2016 Hyde, and Chip Kelly teams as a whole, tend to go down as the season progresses. And once again, Hyde is suffering from a mysterious injury status. At least Doug is finally looking to be back soon. Doug usually puts together a crazy string of games that make his season when he can get/stay healthy. And Simms being out of the way makes it even better/more likely to be a good thing if Doug makes it back soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimHauck 1,801 Posted December 12, 2016 Hopefully you all found someone else to drop for Martin instead of Hyde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
