Brandon Marshall Returns

One issue that many fantasy outlets haven’t even discussed yet is the return of perhaps the best player in fantasy football - that’s right. Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall returns from a shortened suspension to face the San Diego Chargers in Week 2. Marshall should be in all fantasy line-ups, because when it’s all said and done, he may just be the most dominant force in fantasy football. Read more

Handcuffing Your Wide Receivers

Well, one concept all fantasy owners are now familiar with is “hand-cuffing” – the art of locking up a running back situation by drafting the back-up to your starter. It seems simple enough, and it has really come in handy in the past, especially for owners of Priest Holmes in 2005 and Adrian Peterson in 2007, and many other backs. Heading into 2008, however, it seems there are a couple of scenarios in which the hand-cuffing concept could actually be applied to a different position – wide receiver. Read more

Fantasy Impact: Brandon Marshall

To say that Broncos third year WR Brandon Marshall had a crazy off-season would be a total understatement. First, an incident with a McDonald’s bag, a wrestling match and a TV sent him to the hospital for major arm surgery, then a couple run-ins with the law made him a candidate for league suspension. Check out what we think of his seasonal fantasy value now that the punishment has been handed out by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Read more

Brandon Marshall’s Rollercoaster Ride

Have you ever actually watched a Brandon Marshall highlight video? If you ever find the two minutes to do so, I guarantee you’ll start to want him on your fantasy squad - but in the past two days, fantasy owners have learned good news and bad news regarding his 2008 status. Read more

Marshall Predicts 100-catch Season…

Just two weeks after saying that he couldn’t even wipe himself with his right hand after going number two, Broncos 24 year old 6′4″ WR Brandon Marshall is predicting another 100-catch season in 2008. While normally we’d agree with him, we want to first see if these reports about him being ready for training camp are in fact true.

If he’s fully healthy, than he’s “he-mannish” prediction should come true, but if he has to catch balls with his left hand all season, he’ll struggle. Sorry “Baby T.O.” but 100 catches won’t happen unless you’re healthy. Still the confidence he’s exuding should rub off on fantasy owners enough to move his average draft position up several notches.

Marshall: I Can Do Everything But Wipe Myself…

Okay, this may be a little bit out of character for us, but we do appreciate “potty humor” here at No-Offseason.com, and this is relevant for fantasy owners, of course.

According to Sirius NFL Radio, Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall told media that he can do everything with his injured right arm but wipe himself. He then added that was a bit inappropriate to say.

Marshall’s health appears to be on the up and up, so fantasy owners should expect that he will now be ready for training camp, despite our earlier reports. We hope for his hygiene’s sake that his arm continues to heal quickly.

Marshall’s injury stemmed from a living room wrestling match in which he slipped on a McDonald’s bag and put his arm through a TV. The “wiping” thing only makes this weirder.

Experts Draft: Roddy White Goes In Rd. 3

Falcons WR Roddy White had a breakout third season in 2007, hauling in 83 passes for 1,202 yards and six scores in Bobby Petrino and Hue Jackson’s high flying offense, but will the stat column translate over to 2008 under the much more conservative and run-friendly Mike Smith and Mike Mularkey? We don’t think so, but find out who did, as we analyze the third round of our most recent experts league draft. Read more

Brandon Marshall Returns To Practice Today…

Owners of third year WR Brandon Marshall received some great news today, as their stud returned to practice, participating in some drills and catching some passes with his right hand for the first time since ramming it through a television during a living room wrestling match a few months ago.

All indications at this point are that Marshall will be ready for training camp. We still think he could get off to a slow start this season due to the injury, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be a solid fantasy WR1 again in 2008.

Brandon Marshall Catches Ball One-Handed…

Broncos WR Brandon Marshall reportedly made a couple impressive catches with his left hand in practice the other day, and is able to write with his right hand once again. This is good news for now, but unless they’re starting to award fantasy points for penmanship, than we’re not impressed enough with his recovery just yet.

Word is that he’ll be cleared by June 22, but we’ll keep you updated.

Brandon Marshall Back At Practice…

Broncos WR Brandon Marshall was back at practice yesterday, but still unable to catch passes with both hands. He was apparently running around covering WRs in drills, then trying to catch passes with one hand.

This sounds more like “fooling around” to us, than it does actually making progress towards a recovery.

Owners Need To Worry About Andre Johnson…

Monitoring injuries is one of the main subjects on the minds of fantasy owners this time of year. Many guys that finished with incomplete report cards last season are under the microscope heading into 2008. Fantasy owners want to know who will be a risk, and who will be a sure-fire reward. In this addition of the Stock Market Report, our latest outlook regarding two guys named Johnson may surprise you. Read more
