Brandon Marshall injury update: Ready to go for fantasy shootout
Brandon Marshall is ready to go for what should be a shootout against the Saints. We break down the fantasy implications.
It’s the second week in a row in which he’s been on the injury report for a foot issue. Marshall had some more serious hip complications in the offseason, but those seem to have subsided.
The Pro Bowl wideout has 27 catches, 348 receiving yards and two scores in four games this year. His stats aren’t too eye-catching, but he’s been consistent every step of the way with at least five catches in all four games.
Fantasy impact: Marshall and the Bears are going to have to go toe to toe with the high-powered Saints offense. Coach Marc Trestman's offense has helped them score the third-most points in the NFL this season. Alshon Jeffery could get some more looks in practice since he had a full week to work with Jay Cutler, but still there's no reason to think that Marshall won't be among the big Week 5 producers.
