Dynasty Trade, Doug Martin for Kelvin Benjamin? (1 Viewer)

With Andrew Luck out, Hilton not performing, Cooper/Allen/Martavis/Benjamin as weekly question marks...Trade Kelvin Benjamin for Doug Martin?

I have doubts about Mccoy lasting all season and his weekly floor. Ingram is on a three-headed committee so his ceiling is capped until the Saints figure things out or Kamara is injured.

For dynasty on strictly a player vs player evaluation, I think KB is the clear superior. That said, you need some serious help at RB. Your dynasty outlook is pretty bleak at that position. I don't know if Martin helps that much, but I might be inclined to roll the dice.

I'd do it. Your receivers are you strength so you'll help out your weaker area.

I go for it

Martin has conquered some personal demons overcame addiction and reprioritized his life.

He's changed his diet his workout routine and by all accounts is lighter stronger faster and from what I saw in the preseason I believe it.

I bought a lot of Martin this year and if he stays on course you should get a few more good years out of him too.

Good luck

I actually just made a similar deal (at least in my mind).  WR is a strength, start 2 RB's and I have Melvin Gordon but little else after that and am a win now team.

I picked up Cam Meredith for free off waivers 2 weeks ago (and was happily surprised) and sent Kelvin and Meredith for Martin and Swoope (TE premium).

I realize this is an overpay on paper, but as it turned out i took a free asset (Meredith) added a bench player (Benjamin) and got a starting RB for the stretch drive to fill my RB 2 spot.

So for me it made sense.  If i was you, i'd make this deal.

Hope this helps.
