You know I was thinking this exact same thing myself until I just checked their stats on Yahoo.
Besides that freak 18 reception game, they have been pretty even.
They both get hella targets and receptions.
Marshall has 16 more receptions, but has played one extra game, and once again, I know it happened and it counts, but how many times is Marshall gonna go over 10 receptions in his career, let alone this season.
Boldin has already had a 10 reception game this year.
Boldin had an 8, 6,3 and 10 reception game.
Marshall had an 18, 6, 7 , 3 and a 9 reception game.
You add in an average game for Boldin of 7 receptions and take into account the 18 reception aerial assault from Marshall and you looking at 34 and 43 receptions respectively.
On top of this, who are your other RB's?
If Turner is facing a horrible matchup it's not out of the question to bench him one week if you have a really good fill in like Steve Slaton with a good matchup on your bench.
It's not like jacobs is a must start every week either, so it's all relative.
