The Facts: Marshall accepts his role with the Giants. In fact, the veteran is more than OK with not being the feature receiver for the first time since 2006 when he was a rookie with the Broncos. "They were clear with me we have a No. 1 receiver that's not even in his prime yet, and that we also have a freakin' stud in Sterling Shepard, so there's only one ball,' Marshall said. "I want this to be my most efficient year. It may not be my best statistically, but when it comes to the standpoint of efficiency, I really want to dominate in that category.'
Diehards Line:
As PFT's Charean Williams notes, Marshall, 33, had 109 catches for 1,502 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2015 with the Jets and has 1,000-yard seasons in eight of the past 10 years. He doesn’t expect a repeat of 2015 after signing a two-year, $11 million deal with the Giants, but padding his career statistics isn’t why Marshall picked the Giants. “I know I could have gone to another team and caught 100-something balls and put up 1,500, 1,600 yards, but that’s not the mission right now,’’ Marshall said. “That’s not the goal. My goal is to touch that Lombardi Trophy. ..." That might not be what fantasy owners want to hear, but it also doesn't preclude Marshall from having a productive season.
