I'm definitely starting him on my fantasy team this week. I think Pittsburgh will put 8 or 9 in the box and shut down the run, enabling Brees to carve them up through the air.
Why do you think teams are doing this? I think we are more dangerous through the air than on the ground. With Duece coming off injury and Reggie not running incredibly well lately, it seems like teams would want to stop our passing game, esp w colston horn and devery was has been on fire a few games. I odn't think it is teams copying the Ravens, bc Baltimore didn't just stack 8 in the box and wait, they were moving around and showing blitz then pulling back and giving me looks i've rarely if ever seen, from defenses. I don't think bringin 8 men ready to obviously pounce on the run will stop us. You have to be creative and confuse our offensive line who are lights out at pass protection if they see what the defense is bringing.
