Looking at his game logs he's only scored 1 touchdown in his career against Oakland and Nnamdi. He usually gets 5 catches for around 70-80 yards. I can't believe I'm entertaining the idea, but I might start Antonio Bryant against the horrible Seattle D this week over Marshall? Crazy talk or the kind of move that wins leagues?

Nnamdi

think he's a game time decision, left last game and didn't return I believe, but I haven't seen any updates....we'll know more tomorrow. But even if he plays, he hasn't been "as good" as he's been in the past from what I'm seeing(still damn good though). I think you gotta go with him as it stands now.

if you bench marshall and he blows up you will be more mad at youself than if antonio bryant blows up....

Marshall is the smarter play IMO...I wouldn't overthink it

crazy talk. start marshall.

Nnamdi stays on one side and can even get beat when you challenge him. Several guys have had big first halves on him this year, then stopped throwing b/c they were up big.

Miles Austin went off for 7 for 145 and a TD against the Raiders a couple of weeks ago.

Don't over analyze this....you don't bench studs in the playoffs b/c of 1 cb that guards one side of the field.

I've got to start 2 of these 4:

Bowe vs Cleveland
Bryant vs Seattle
Marshall vs Oakland
Wayne vs Jax

Wayne scares the shite out of me. This is a total points big buy in 13 team league. I'm in 1st, but 1-3rd are separated by 16 points. Payout is 60-30-10 so we're talking about a close point race where the dropoff from 1st to 3rd is significant. It's making me question EVERY decision now.

Nnamdi actually hasn't been spectacular this year, just good. The Washington game was only his second outstanding game this year and first since week 2 at KC.

I think Marshall's low-end production might be around 5 rec, 65 yards, 1 TD.
