Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's a surprising, but welcome, development after he has been hobbled for weeks with a sore ankle.
Brandon Marshall gets full practice Wednesday, good news for fantasy owners
Marshall’s ankle is getting closer to 100 percent and he got in a full practice Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

On Monday, head coach Marc Trestman said the team would “take a good look” at Marshall this week. They apparently liked what they saw, because this is Marshall’s first full practice since hurting the ankle in Week 1. He’s been playing mostly a decoy role this season, recording 16 catches for 144 yards. He’s been saving fantasy owners with goal-line targets, scoring five touchdowns.
Fantasy impact: A full practice is great news on Wednesday, a day when most top-tier players are either limited or resting. This suggests that Marshall is much closer to 100 percent than we thought. If there are no setbacks, he will be a full go for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers and can be fired up as an WR1 in all fantasy leagues.
