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 get what you're saying, you got to start your studs every game barring injury but Marshall's match up this weekend is a tough one, especially when you consider JJ Watt and company against Cutler who rattles easy and the chance of rain. Wallace goes up against the Chiefs, a much safer match up in my humble opinion.
Outlaws, I did the exact same thing with Marshall when he played the Cowboys: at the time, they were at, or close to, #1 pass defense. I benched him, and he went off for 25 points, and that would have won me my game. The lesson here? Start the studs!
