At 33 years old. Brandon Marshall may not put up the same numbers as he did in 2015 with the New York Jets, but that doesn’t mean he will be irrelevant in the fantasy world. After posting 109/1502/14 line with Ryan Fitzpatrick in ’15, Marshall was a huge disappointment last season in the dysfunctional Jets system. Losing Decker was a major blow, as defenses would double and even triple cover Marshall, having nobody else to worry about. When Marshall was released by the Jets, I immediately  mentioned the Patriots as the best fit for him for the 2017 season. The Giants is just as good. The Giants ranked towards the bottom of the league in Red Zone efficiency last season (touchdowns – 51%) and needed a big target for Eli Manning to go to in the end zone and on 3rd downs. Marshall doesn’t have to be “the man” on the other

side of Met Life Stadium with Odell Beckham Jr there, and the Giants have to be pleased with what they saw out of rookie Sterling Shepard. If the Giants use Marshall in the right way, I think it’s a great signing for both the player and the team. Odell will command so much attention that it will open up the middle of the field for Marshall. Something that he’s not afraid to do. I’m not believing it when I hear that he will ruin the Giants locker room. Winning cures everything and the Giants are a winning team and organization. For someone at his age and caliber to have never been in the playoffs, I fully expect him to be focused, motivated and good teammate. In fact, I also think he can be a good role model for Odell. There won’t be any Miami boat trips heading into the playoffs this year. Let’s also not lose sight of the fact that he now has a future hall of fame quarterback and 2-time Super Bowl MVP getting him the ball.

From a fantasy perspective, Marshall won’t give you the WR1 status he gave us in 2015, but he could provide great value in the 4th-5th round of drafts. His value will be higher in standard leagues, but double-digit touchdowns is not out of the question in this offense.
