Fantasy owners rejoice, Brandon Marshall scheduled to start
Brandon Marshall is active against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Marshall had been battling an ankle injury all week and was listed as questionable until Sunday morning. It now appears he'll be starting alongside fellow receiver Alshon Jeffery.
Fantasy Impact: Great news for Marshall owners as this news breaks early in the day. Unfortunately, Marshall was ineffective in his return during the second half against the New York Jets last week, so his production this week is still uncertain. If he simply "goes through the motions" due to a lingering injury, it might be another ineffective day for the Bears wideout.
For now at least, move forward with the assumption that Marshall will remain a top 10 receiver, all the while downgrading Jeffery a few spots. If everything breaks right for the Bears’ offense, Marshall could once again insert himself into the best plays of the week.
