The Facts:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made it official today by slapping Marshall with a three-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The league added that if Marshall complies with counseling and other conditions of the suspension, Goodell will consider reducing his penalty to two games.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The team already have already arranged for the counseling necessary to meet the commissioner's requirements. ... So, barring a successful appeal, Marshall will be able to continue participating in training camp and the preseason, but he will miss the first two regular season games -- and a third (if he doesn't meet Goodell's requirements). Marshall will not be able to practice with the team from the time his suspension begins Sept. 2 until it either after the game against the Chargers or Saints. In Marshall's absence, Darrell Jackson is expected to fill the role as the No. 1 receiver while Keary Colbert and rookie Eddie Royal competing for the No. 2 receiver spot. No. 3 receiver Brandon Stokley and TE Tony Scheffler will help pick up the slack.
