Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall is officially listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the New York Jets. Marshall is dealing with an ankle injury that forced him out of practice on Thursday and Friday. The questionable designation is supposed to denote a 50 percent chance of playing, but Marshall's chances seem higher than that.

Marshall and fellow receiver Alshon Jeffery have been banged up to start the season and both are listed as questionable. Jeffery is dealing with a hamstring injury, but is expected to start without issue on Monday against the Jets. Marshall had a great game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2, catching three touchdown passes to help Chicago to a thrilling comeback victory.
Fantasy Impact: When quarterback Jay Culter is having a good day, then his receivers are having a great day. That includes Marshall. He’s a must-start in fantasy when he’s healthy, but his questionable designation is a big issue, especially given that he’s playing on Monday. If you’re a fantasy owner and you have other solid options, it might be worth going elsewhere, but if you need to rely on Marshall it does seem like there’s a solid chance for him to play.
