Texans DC Wade Phillips promises to double-cover Brandon Marshall on every play Sunday night.
Phillips has a good read on a Bears offense that is overly reliant on short passes to Marshall due to poor pass protection. "They've only thrown it to one guy basically," said Phillips. "They do a great job of that." According to Football Outsiders, the Texans are the most effective defense in the league against No. 1 receivers. Don't be surprised if a streaking Marshall is slowed in Week 10.
I'm playing him with Demaryius Thomas and Julio Jones. Of course, I just snapped up Emmanuel Sanders who will be starting for the injured Antonio Brown on Monday night at home versus Kansas City. Whaddya think? Should I go with Sanders instead?

Instead of Marshall? No. If you can only play two and are worried about Houston's D then Thomas and Jones aren't bad at all.
I'm hoping Jones goes off on NO. I also have Brees, which means a shootout, which means fantasy goodness all around:)

No, I gotta play three. So it'll be Marshall, Thomas and Jones for me.

That is a no brainer if the only other option is Sanders.
