Marshall endured both injuries during Week 8's loss to the Oakland Raiders, but ultimately remained in the game after sitting out for a few snaps to manage his ailments. Marshall finished the afternoon with nine catches for 108 yards on a team-high 18 targets.
Fantasy impact: Health permitting, Marshall will resume being a target monster once again in Week 9, and with Ryan Fitzpatrick slated to start, it can be expected that more efficiency can be made out of his targets than the 50 percent rate he logged during Sunday's defeat.
For now, it can be expected that Marshall remains in the Jets lineup, but fantasy owners ought to check the active roster announcements 90 minutes before game time to make sure nothing unexpected is announced regarding his status. If Marshall plays, he is a locked-in WR1 against the Jaguars' vulnerable secondary.
