Denver Broncos super stud wide receiver Brandon Marshall had his suspension reduced to one game. The suspension was originally set for three games, stemming from Marshall violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
He’ll also forfeit his pay for an additional game, for a two-game total of $52,352.
Marshall will miss the opening game against the Oakland Raiders, but will be ready to tear up secondaries Week 2 when the San Diego Chargers come to Denver.
What does this mean for fantasy owners? If you are able to get Marshall with the 39th pick in your league this year, that is an absolute steal. As opposed to drafting Kevin Smith with the 43rd pick, considering you can probably get Smith with the 91st pick.

I hate my team. But I’ll take a starting RB over a guy with a three-game suspension (you didn’t know it was only one game when you drafted him, you penis).
Of course I did, fag. I told you right away when you said three. He was my 4th round sleeper?
Fantasy season is officially on?
w/e i ll win it anyway !
I was actually hoping Smith would slide to me in that round, and I felt like punching Micah in the face when he grabbed him.
Then again, like most people I feel like punching Micah in the face all the time. So no harm, no foul I suppose.
Enjoy the fight for second place!
We did a 12-team draft with some heavy hitters last night. There were no sleepers. They were gobbled up immediately. Rice, Felix, DeSean…they all went starting in about the 7th round.
Only two teams had more than one defense. That’s how I know these guys know what they are doing.
