A few weeks ago, Brandon Marshall was considered a possible top ten fantasy receiver. Now the NFL is looking into his rap sheet as his arrest on March 6th was his 3rd in 12 months. He is also going on a DUI charge in September. This is where his fantasy value is affected. Marshall could be suspended for at least one or two games which will turn many people away from drafting him even though he is an elite talent. But while a risk is involved, whoever takes him will be rewarded. Marshall is Jay Cutler's favorite target and should still see plenty of opportunities. If suspended, it will be hard to match last season’s totals with over 100 catches. But if Marshall is suspended for only a few games, 80 catches for 1000 yards and 6 touchdowns isn't out of the question. While it first appeared that Marshall would go in the 3rd and 4th round, he may now fall to the 6th or 7th where he could be a possible steal.

If Brandon Marshall falls to the 6th or 7th round in your league, I want in next year!
I know he has his troubles off the field, but so did TO, Randy Moss and a host of other stars. Yes, he may get bumped down a few spots, but I still think he will be taken in the top 10 of all receivers.
In my league he won't fall past the 5th round because if he's still on the board, I'm taking him.
