That was my thinking - those playoff matchups. But at this point, I'll go with Roddy White and Austin Collie over him and it'll be hard to start him over Stevey Johnson at the flex. That wasn't supposed to happen... but that's reality I guess. And with Collie's concussion I'll be forced to keep starting him and his 6 YPC.
TDs are the least predictable statistic, especially for WRs. He is getting looks and making catches. I am very happy with him in PPR.
You got to be kidding. He's been terrible if you drafted him to be a #1 receiver.TDs are the least predictable statistic, especially for WRs. He is getting looks and making catches. I am very happy with him in PPR.
Exactly. There have been 219 player seasons with 1200+ receiving yards in NFL history (Marshall is on pace for 1236 after today's game) and only 2 of them finished with fewer than 4 TDs. Marshall's low TD total up to this point has to be disappointing for owners, but at the same time it shouldn't be a significant concern moving forward.
My main hope is that Bess and Hartline are so involved, Henne starts to revisit the importance of getting the ball to his playmaker supreme. They need TDs, after all. And why Marshall isn't being targeted more in the RZ is beyond me when he's a 6'4 freak. I remember seeing a stat that basically indicated Marshall is barely getting RZ looks. That baffles me. Of course this is all self-serving as a Marshall owner, but it's the Calvin Johnson rule. Just get the targets to these guys in situations where they can make a great play. That's the advantage of having these guys.
Exactly. Add 5-6 TD's and he is a stud same goes for Colston...lack of TD's is killing a lot of really good WR's this season.That's FF. Unpredictable.TDs are the least predictable statistic, especially for WRs. He is getting looks and making catches. I am very happy with him in PPR.
What about the lack of yards though, too? That's my concern. More than 71 yards only twice all season? The 53, 71, 166, 50, 127, 57, 64, 30 is what scares me. He's trending downwards and I just get the feeling that a return to 100+ would be more of a fluke than another 30 yards receiving performance. What's the feeling from a Miami fan - is it better or worse than the statistics portend?Exactly.

Better imo. This is Henne and the offense. When Miami dedicates itself to getting Marshall the ball they get him the ball. I've seen a few games with 10-12 targets in one half and then nada in the 2nd. I think this will work itself out.What about the lack of yards though, too? That's my concern.

I watch all the Dolphin games...the main issue is that nobody on the Dolphins stretches the field and because if that coverage is tight. Marshall is not a quick cutter or blazing fast guy, he is kind of like a Fitzgerald. Teams try and take him out because Bess is a decent #3 slot guy, but the Dolphins don't have a 2, a TE threat or even much of a weapon out of the backfield. Normally Ronnie catches pretty well, but he isn't explosive out of the backfield. On top of that Henne has been mediocre; but partly because of the receivers not being very open. Yes, he missed the TD to Fasano, but the ball just came out of his hand bad (slipped?). He is an OK QB with some upside, but until the Dolphins get a deep threat you will see a season like Marshall has had thus far with a few more TD's sprinkled in.
I agree - I would let Henne check down as well I suppose. I though the running game would be far better, too. I just bought Marshall last week since the 2nd half looks great (again, on paper) aside from week 14: 10: TEN (7) <-- DST rank vs. WR position11: CHI (3)12: @OAK (6)13: CLE (28)14: @NYJ (25)15: BUF (21)16: DET (13)I guess we'll just see. Miami is only 2 games back, spend nearly the entire 2nd half at home or in warm weather, and face some weak passing defenses. Still, something has to change in the offensive approach.
Do you actually follow the team or watch Marshall? Because if you do then why would you pat yourself on the back for the "Revis Island" concern? Against NYJ Marshall had one of his best games: 10 for 166 and 1 TD. Revis island has been hurt and is not the same.
I was explaining my thought process BEFORE the season started. I just thought BM had more red flags on paper than other WRs around the same draft position. His performance overall doesn't seem all that surprising so far. He's great, but the situation seemed less than stellar for someone you would want to be your WR1.az_prof said:
The targets are actually fine - 3rd in the NFL (87), 4th in NFL in receptions (52). The problem is that the targets are never in the red zone and never for more than 6 yards it seems....
... No.You guys are ridiculous.
Revis didn't even play that week. Cromartie matched up on Marshall and actually covered him very well - but Marshall just looked like a beats that game.
I doubt I could get Williams for Marshall in my dynasty. I would think hard about that one and probably pull the trigger.
Marshall for TB Mike is a freakin steal.
Dynasty league?
3 keeper
Bingo. Henne simply was never going to bring it for Marshall. I'm hopefull for Thigpen, who really resurrected Bowe two years back in KC. Different system, but he's a guy that seems to take more risks. I was happy about Pennington too (ANY change), but I'll take this scenario. Marshall will be on the bench though for sure. Gotta see the connection before I trust it again...
I wouldn't cut bait after 9 games. This is a super stud we are talking about.
Something happened above and beyond the double/triple coverage. When the season started Marshall had 3 games w/ 13+ targets. Today it bubbled over when Henne came into the game. Marshall looked disinterested and threw a tantrum.
Yeah - he had a couple of real nice drops. He acts like such an ### I find it really hard to root for him even having him on 2 teams.
He was? :( You get points for unsportsmanlike conduct penalties?
He had 3 catches for 41 yards in less than one half. They had a 1st down at mid field with about 1:30 left in the half, in a game they trailed in the entire time. The opportunity was certainly there for him to have at least a decent game if he didn't get hurt.He was?You get points for unsportsmanlike conduct penalties?
