Marshall has been hampered by ankle injuries for most of the season, but he has yet to miss a game. He didn't do much in Week 12, catching just three passes for 32 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while the Bears nursed a two-possession lead during the second half. Marshall has a 52-618-8 line on the season.
Fantasy impact: Marshall seems to be finally healthy since suffering his first ankle injury in Week 2. He shouldn’t be limited in action since the Bears still have small playoff hopes and are going up against a division rival. Marshall should be starting as a WR2 in all fantasy leagues this week, with potential WR1 upside. He has a good chance to finish the season strong and carry teams in the fantasy playoffs if the Bears start clicking on offense.
