Brandon Marshall gets traded then arrested – Fantasy Impact


NEW YORK -- A woman has accused new Bears receiver Brandon Marshall of punching her in the face at a nightclub, New York City police said.
The woman alleged the incident occurred at 3:50 a.m. ET Sunday outside the Marquee, a nightclub in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, police said. Police are investigating a complaint the woman filed Monday evening. Marshall has not been charged.
In a statement, Bears general manager Phil Emery said the team was aware of the alleged incident when it obtained Marshall from the Miami Dolphinson Tuesday.
"Both the Bears and Dolphins were aware of what occurred over the weekend. We decided to move forward with the trade. We have high expectations for Brandon as a Bear," Emery said.   More…
Shacks’ Take:  Talk about your good news/bad news scenario from a fantasy perspective.  Good news, Marshall is reunited with Jay Cutler who made him a fantasy star for the two years they were together.  Bad news, Marshall will likely face a suspension to start the season under Roger Goodell’s conduct policy.  Marshall is a stud WR but a flake in real life.  What the hell is a star football player doing out at the clubs a 4am, nothing good happens to pro athletes after 2am.
Make him someone else problem 
I traded him in my keeper league because I want players I can trust and Marshall does not qualify.  In terms of talent and opportunity Marshall is a surefire top 10 wide out, but his off-filed issues will drop him down my draft board.  He’s an awesome talent I will avoid on draft day.
