Brandon Marshall-WR-New York Jets

First, a caveat–Marshall was definitely playing hurt on Sunday and also playing with some of the worst QB performance known to mankind (more on that in a minute). He never got things going against the Chiefs giving him two ho-hum performances in a rough start to the 2016 season.

In Week 1, Marshall had just three catches for 32 yards, and he posted similar numbers this week totaling just 27 yards on three catches. He finished with eight targets but wasn’t able to make anything happen although he did come close to hauling in a garbage-time touchdown.

Marshall gets another tough matchup this week against the Seahawks. He should be healthy enough to play, but he is no longer locked in as a WR1. You can still get him in your lineups, but don’t hesitate to give him a week to get healthy or prove he’s back in sync with Fitzpatrick after te two struggled so mightily yesterday.
