Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall returned to practice on Thursday, getting in a limited session. After sitting out Wednesday's session, Marshall is now fully expected to play in the team's Week 11 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Brandon Marshall returns to practice, fantasy status looking up
Brandon Marshall was back at practice on Thursday and should be ready for Week 11. We break down the fantasy implications.

Marshall suffered an ankle injury in Chicago's blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 10. He downplayed the injury all week, saying he'd be ready to play and wouldn't miss a game. The injury is to a different ankle from the one he hurt earlier this season. Marshall has yet to miss a game in 2014 despite the injuries. He has 42 catches for 496 yards and six touchdowns.
Fantasy impact: Marshall might get listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, but he should suit up. He might end up going on a snap count, making him a risky WR2 play if he can't find the end zone. Look for Alshon Jeffery to get more looks in the offense. The Bears need Marshall at 100 percent to jump-start their sputtering season.
