Fantasy Football Wide Receivers – Number 4: Brandon Marshall

2015 Stats: 109 REC 1,502 YDS 14 TDS

Coming off his first season as a Jet, veteran Brandon Marshall, continues to show he’s got game. Entering his 11th season, he’s looking to put up similar numbers he had last year and get his Jets to the playoffs.

Marshall is a no doubt early round pick for any fantasy football owner, but something to be cautious of is the quarterback situation in New York. The team re-signed Ryan Fitzpatrick, but Fitzpatrick tends to have up and down production in the NFL.

If Fitzpatrick can go out and sling the football like he did last year, then Marshall will have another terrific season. If Fitzpatrick goes downhill like he has in years past after getting contracts, then Marshall could be a big bust on your team.

Even with the questionable quarterback throwing to him, Brandon Marshall is a given to go high in the draft. He’ll be a great number one receiver option and should be able to help your team contend every week.
