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.
More times than not this season, when I've benched one of my "studs", it has ended up screwing me over. I don't know about your league, but in mine, Marshall is the #1 receiver. You can't bench him.
I agree but its not just Marshall facing double teams all game but Cutler facing JJ Watt and company....which Cutler will show up...plus there is a chance of thunderstorms in Chicago.
Yea I'm with u .. Early in the season I benched players becuz of match ups but studs gonna do what studs do good or bad d... And Marshall seems to be having one of thoses Denver seasons..
