Have him as my RB2 in two money leagues. McCoy and Foster are my RB1s in the two different leagues.
League 1:
(I also have the Houston D as my only DEF in this league)
MJD home Vs. HOU
Doug Martin @ NYG
League 2:
MJD home Vs. HOU
BJGE home Vs. CLE
I am leaning towards benching him one more week in both leagues. He looked a little slow and I think it'll take 1 or 2 more weeks for him to get back in to game shape. If the Matchup dictated it, I would start him, but since I have the Houston D in league 1, that is also swaying me towards Martin.
In League 2, I don't have to worry about the Texans D, and I would normally start MJD, but that CIN matchup against Cleveland's horrible defense, plus the fact that lawfirm had 18/91/1 against the RAVENS really has me salivating.
Would love to get other thoughts and opinions.

both match ups look pretty close on paper, but i wonder if Martin gets many touches this week as MJD will. That is the one i dont know about. I might go MJD over Martin. I think both match ups will be pretty close though.

was all prepared to say play him in both but …no; he's not 100% and Houston's a bad match
I'd definitely play Martin over him if it's ppr; if not, it's a coin-flip – remembering the Jints don't have to respect the Bucs passing game like they did vs Dallas & running lanes might be scarce; gonna be scarce for MJD anyways
in the other game, I'd sit him for BJGE – Texans D is tough, Browns not so much

Thanks DocMem!
League 1 is .5 ppr. Martin definitely feels like the play here.
League 2 is full PPR, not that it matters much with the lawfirm, I don't see them using him much as a receiver out of the backfield.
Any other comments are welcome!

lemme add a caveat – if you really need a big day, ya gotta roll the dice with MJD in either lg – the others are good, solid RBs with better matchups vs MJD with a bad match & some question of effectiveness
if all you need is a solid, productive day I'd sit him as the other choices seem safer …but if ya got a tough match n' hafta claw for pts then I think ya gotta take the chance – neither of the others are likely to reach his potential ceiling even though both look odds-on to top his floor

Yikes, good advice, DocMem. In league 1, here is my matchup. You can see obviously that Marshall and Finley really screwed me going into Sunday. Is this a case where I need to swing for the fences and plug in MJD? I don't like starting my own players against my defense…

off the cuff, I'm thinkin' you can get away with that, though mebbe not by much

oops, sorry…
after crunchin' the #s, no matter how I look at it you're a 9 pt dog – Marshall n' Finley dug you a deep hole you shouldna been in
I'd play MJD n' swing for the fences but I don't think it'll help unless ya get really lucky with a coupla scores - I see him n' Martin as nearly even but, like I said up above, Martin ain't MoJo so yaneverknow
keep yer fingers crossed, sacrifice a chicken at midnight n' good luck!

Well, thanks for all the input guys. I won in both leagues. I started MJD over Martin in League 1, and he scored 2.4 more points than Martin. In league 2, I started BJGE over MJD, and he only scored .8 less than him, so basically a wash.
And DocMem, remember how I was supposed to be a 9 point dog going in to Sunday thanks to Marshall and Finley? Well, I did a rain dance and ran naked down the main drag in my hometown at 4am, and look what happened:
