Scouting report

NYJ WR Brandon Marshall - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Arizona
With Eric Decker out for the season, the spotlight shines even brighter on Brandon Marshall. The veteran had eight catches for 114 yards and a touchdown last week, and it was the second straight week he reached the end zone. Marshall remains a top-tier receiver who is capable of breaking out every week.

Marshall has a decent matchup this week against Arizona, who is 24th in aFPA to wide receivers. Although we know Marshall can have a big game any week, the worry is more on QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and his weekly performance. Marshall is a definite start against Arizona as a low-end WR1. If Fitzpatrick starts playing better like he did against Pittsburgh, Marshall's stock will rise.

NYJ WR Brandon Marshall - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs Seattle
The Jets passing game as a mess last week, and Brandon Marshall's numbers were a victim. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick threw 6 INTs, and even though Marshall was targeted a season-high 10 times last Sunday, he caught only three passes. He also has been held without a touchdown the first three games. Another factor might be Marshall's health. Although he practiced this week and will play, he has a foot and knee issue that is keeping him from being 100 percent.

It might not get any better this week. Marshall faces Seattle who is No. 1 in aFPA to wide receivers. CB Richard Sherman will be ready for Marshall.

The Jets will try to bounce back, but the matchup pushes Marshall down the rankings to a high-end WR3 or flex for Week 4.

NYJ WR Brandon Marshall - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Kansas City
Brandon Marshall had a nice bounce back after a tough Week 1. The veteran receiver caught six passes for 101 yards last Thursday, but still is looking for his first touchdown of the season. It seems that QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is targeting all three wide receivers equally and sharing the wealth. Although eventually we think Marshall will have one of those monster games, the balanced receiving attack actually hurts the Jets No. 1 guy.

The Chiefs start the season as the worst team in the NFL in aFPA to wide receivers. But don't be fooled by that stat. KC has a pretty good defense especially at home. Marshall is not 100% healthy as his knee is still bothering him but he will play Sunday.

Start Marshall as solid WR2 for Week 3. The way Fitzpatrick is using all his wide receiver decreases Marshall's value a little so we will see if that changes in the upcoming weeks.

NYJ WR Brandon Marshall - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Buffalo
Brandon Marshall was one of the Week 1 busts with just three catches for 32 yards. If you go back to last season, it would have been his second-worst performance with the other being in Week 10 vs Buffalo (3 catches for 23 yards). The frustrating part for Marshall owners is the Jets had two touchdowns thrown to wide receivers (Decker, Enunwa), but none to No. 15. Don't get too down after just one game. We expect this to be the low point of Marshall's fantasy season.

As we said, the worst performance last year was against the Bills, but in Week 17, Marshall caught eight passes for 126 yards and touchdown in Buffalo. So, there is a good chance he can repeat that performance.

Buffalo has not been great against wide receivers, so the advantage is in Marshall's favor for Thursday night. The Jets will find a way to get the ball to their No. 1 guy, so start Marshall in all leagues and formats as a solid WR1.

NYJ WR Brandon Marshall - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Cincinnati
Coming off his worst season since he was a rookie, Brandon Marshall found a new home in New York and made the Jets a very happy team. He caught 109 passes for 1,502 yards and a career-high 14 touchdowns. Marshall had to be happy the Jets re-signed Ryan Fitzpatrick, because he got the veteran the ball - a lot.

The Jets will face a Cincinnati defense in the opener that was very good against the pass in 2015. They were 8th in aFPA to wide receivers. That matchup pushes Marshall to a rare spot as a high-end WR2. He is capable of having a big game to start the season, but there are other receivers with more favorable matchups who should put up better numbers.

NYJ WR Brandon Marshall - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
You still have to wonder why the Bears got rid of Brandon Marshall. He was one of the top receivers in the NFL and has had 1,000 yards receiving every season he has been in the NFL with the exception of his rookie year, where he only started only one game with Denver and in 2014 where he missed three games with an injury. Last year, he had a career-high 14 touchdowns and the second most receiving yards of his career (1,502). With Ryan Fitzpatrick now signed, that make Marshall's value climb.

Fantasy Downside
The biggest downside was going to be a possible new quarterback. Now, the only thing we can really find is he is 32 so eventually he will start slowing down, but that doesn't mean it will be in 2016.

2016 Bottom Line
Marshall comes in ranked a top 10 fantasy receiver and has an ADP is 18th which labels him as a second round pick. He has even more value in PPR leagues because of the fact he has been consistently catching over 100 passes his whole career. Expect more of the same from Marshall.
