Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffrey expected to take the field for fantasy owners Monday
Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey are expected to start against the New York Jets Monday night. We break down the fantasy implications.

Battling injuries since last week, Marshall (ankle) and Jeffrey (hamstring) are both officially listed as questionable. They’ve practiced on a limited basis throughout the week.
Fantasy impact: Listed as questionable last week, Marshall caught for 47 yards and three touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers. In other words, we learned benching him isn't an option. The Jeffrey injury is a bit worrisome since hamstring injuries tend to linger, but if he plays, you're most likely starting him as well. Marshall should continue to be considered an elite option with WR1 impact while Jeffrey should only be benched if you're holding another top 25 option.
