Brandon Marshall-WR-New York Jets

The Jets suffered a tough loss (nothing new) to the Bengals on Sunday, and Brandon Marshall had a bad start to the season for both the Jets and his fantasy owners. However, he was heavily involved and should be fine in the grand scheme of things.

This week, though, is one that Marshall will try to forget.  He was targeted eight times including twice in the end zone, but he only ended up with three catches for 32 yards and no touchdowns.  He also had a critical drop on the Jets’ last drive.

Marshall will still be a fringe WR1 moving forward, but he was not great this week. He probably won’t be on our fantasy football busts list often, but he earned his spot this week to be sure.
