Anybody thinking of benching Brandon Marshall on Mon night (1 Viewer)

Marshall looks like he is very happy right now and having a lot of fun playing football. I have a feeling he may end up leading the league in receiving yards this year. He is a monster talent and I think he is headed towards his best ever year because he seems to have all his personal problems behind him for now.

I can't believe people here really benched a player like Marshall. And not even for highly attractive alternatives. Crazy. It's like some people have never played FF before. Plug your starters in every week. Accept some weeks are dogs but there will be more good than bad. By getting cute with matchups you risk missing the big games which makes absorbing the previous bad weeks even worse.

Exactly.

I know some people say always start your studs, but I just read that Dallas and their CB's are only allowing 137 passing yards per game and if I'm correct have only allowed one receiving touchdown in that span. The Bears O-line stinks and Cutler hasn't exactly been lighting it up. I curious to see what other folks are doing with Marshall this week?

Well,,,,,he beat their recieving YPG with 138 and tied their TD total by himself. And yeah, I started him.

I sat him for Decker and would do it againg considering the matchups both players had and the QB's they both have, that TD by Marshall was blown coverage, no way you're gonna predict that. The way him and Cutler played the last two weeks and the way Dallas DB's have been playing anybody that had better options at WR was gonna sit the guy tonight, as they should. If Marshall is a "always start your studs" type player, anybody that did that the last two weeks with him got burned, as I'm sure you did, if you played him tonight I'm sure you played him the last two weeks when he did nothing. I'm sure he cost people wins two weeks ago when he dropped that sure TD that hit him in his hands against Green Bay too...

Last couple of weeks have been tough on Marshall owners. But I have managed to survive, so have a lot of owners. Marshall is a stud, blown coverage or not. I won this week because of him. If he would have put up a goose egg, it would not be because of Marshall that I would have lost. It is usually multiple factors that contribute to a lost not just one player. People have bad games out of studs all time and still win. It is the reason, I do not worry about match ups. Your stud can single handed win it for you, more times then he will ever lose it for you. It is the same with Megatron and Julio Jones who have not been exactly tearing it up. We'd prob laugh at any owner who sits Julio next week.
