Did anyone else start Doug Martin?

And I must eat crow. I told someone in another thread to bench him in favor of Rashad Jennings.

It's a good thing that two weeks ago you told me not to listen to you.

I started Martin last night.

This year has been nuts, every single time I give someone advice it ends up being the exact WRONG thing to do.

Started him in 3 leagues although had it not been for Bradshaw not practicing yesterday I was going to sit him in the CP league.Thank you Ahmad.

Also had Freeman for a cool 28 in the CP league and now with the news that Jordy might not play and Jennings is still out I can start Jones and Cobb as I own them both.

Probably just jinxed myself and won't even break 100 with the rest of my squad and will have to watch you go 6-2.

Oakland is in the top 10 in rush-D-per-game and yards-per-rush-allowed, Charles is streaky, and McFadden finally has some WRs to spread out the Chiefs D. Based on that, I'd roll McFadden, but sounds like you are following the Costanza rule.

My head told me to go with McFadden, but I put Charles in anyway.

Looks like I made the right call. I'm so far ahead in my game already, it probably doesn't matter.

I'm ahead 69.5 - 1 after last night. This is a league where I typically score over 200 points each week, so I'm off to a great start. Still have V. Cruz, Colston, L. McCoy and M. Ryan left to play plus Charles. I may score 300 this week.

If Reid has any sense at all he'll run the hell out of Shady this Sunday because Atlanta run d sucks.He should be good for a Martin like total as well.

You were right, but it did not matter. I still won by a good margin thanks to D. Martin. I even had crappy performances from V. Cruz and M. Colston.

So a new problem this week. Out of this group of players I can start RB x 2, WR x 2 and Flex x 1.

L. McCoy RB @ NO
D. Martin RB @ OAK
T. Richardson RB vs. BAL
J. Charles RB @ SD
D. McFadden RB vs. TB

V. Cruz WR vs. PIT
M. Colston WR vs. PHI
R. White WR vs. DAL
D. Bowe WR @ SD

I'm thinking this. Tell me what you think.

RB - L. McCoy
RB - T. Richardson
WR - V. Cruz
WR - M. Colston
FLEX - R. White
