Byron Marshall Fantasy Stats

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall carried the ball eight times for 45 yards on Thursday night against the Ravens. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry with a long rush of 16 yards. It was by far his best performance of the preseason, and undeniably more encouraging than Samaje Perine's five-carry, 13-yard outing. The battle between Marshall and Perine throughout the Redskins' four exhibitions looked like one nobody wanted to win until Thursday. At the same time, this competition has been for a depth role on Washington's roster. Regardless of who wins it, he will not offer any near-term fantasy value as the team's fourth running back.

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall entered 2019 training camp vying for the fourth slot on the depth chart. In two preseason games, he has carried the ball six times for 19 total yards. He did add an 11-yard reception to his tally in Thursday's contest, but his output is not indicative of a player running away with a roster spot. There figures to be minimal fantasy value from Marshall even if he were to earn the reserve RB role in Washington, as Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice are the clear top options. This backfield is best left alone in almost any fantasy format after Peterson and Guice.

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall carried the ball five times on Thursday against the Browns, collecting 17 yards for his trouble. He was only slightly more effective than Samaje Perine, who is also vying for a reserve role in the Redskins backfield behind incumbent workhorse Adrian Peterson and second-year prospect Derrius Guice. Neither Peterson nor Guice were featured in the preseason opener, so keep an eye on what the Redskins do at running back in their second game, when both figure to suit up and at least get some game reps in. If Marshall sees the bulk of the work behind them, it could mean Perine is on the outside looking in. Either way, Marshall should not be seriously considered for fantasy rosters at this juncture.

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall (ankle) went through drills for a second straight day on Thursday and is eligible to come off Injured Reserve next Monday. He has been running just fine and could become an option on third downs with Chris Thompson (ribs) banged up. It's notable with Thompson likely to miss another game this Sunday, but the Redskins also have Kapri Bibbs in the fold, so it's unlikely that Marshall carves out much of a fantasy role.

The Washington Redskins placed running back Byron Marshall (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he suffered an ankle injury in the preseason. The team also signed linebacker Josh Keyes as a free agent and added wide receiver Jehu Chesson and tight end J.P. Holtz to the practice squad. Quarterback Nic Shimonek was cut. Marshall joins rookie Derrius Guice on IR before the season even starts. Adrian Peterson will open the year as the starter on early downs, with Chris Thompson working third downs. Samaje Perine and Rob Kelley will fight for scraps.

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall (knee) is expected to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list due to sprained anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his knee. It's likely he'll be designated to return, so he could potentially help the team in November and December. Adrian Peterson, Rob Kelley, Chris Thompson and Samaje Perine will hold down the fort in his absence, while Kapri Bibbs is just a call away on the practice squad. There is no reason for Marshall to take up any space on your fantasy roster, but remember him if he can return to practice. He could still make an impact in 2018.

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall (ankle) is expected to miss two to four weeks with an ankle injury, according to a source. Marshall injured himself in the preseason game on Thursday. The 'Skins also had Samaje Perine injured, but he should be fine. With rookie Derrius Guice (knee) lost for the season, Rob Kelley and Perine should battle it out for early-down duties with Chris Thompson in the third-down role. Marshall didn't have much fantasy value to begin with behind Thompson. Kapri Bibbs should see more repetitions with Marshall out.

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said running back Samaje Perine (ankle) is OK after twisting his ankle in the preseason game on Thursday. Running back Byron Marshall (leg) is "OK" after undergoing an MRI exam, too. Perine is expected to battle Rob Kelley for the lead-back duties now that rookie Derrius Guice (knee) is done for the year. Any missed time for Perine, though, is bad news, as Kelley is already believed to be the favorite for the job. Perine is probably just a handcuff option in deeper leagues for Kelley owners right now. Marshall is the backup to third-down back Chris Thompson.

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall (leg) is being evaluated for a lower-leg injury in the preseason game on Thursday. When it rains, it pours. Washington lost rookie Derrius Guice (knee) for the season last week and Samaje Perine also sprained his ankle on Thursday. Depending on the severity of these injuries, the 'Skins might need to bring in outside help at the position. Marshall is the primary backup to third-down back Chris Thompson, so as long as he's still standing, Marshall has limited fantasy appeal.

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall appears to have recovered nicely. Having been placed on IR late last season with a hamstring injury, it was important for Marshall to have a good showing in the first preseason game. He caught a 25-yard TD which involved showing both his hands on the catch as well as his running to get into the end zone. Not shown in the box score was that he also looked good in pass protection earlier on the drive. He is fighting for the fourth RB spot behind Derrius Guice, Samaje Perine and Rob Kelley and made some progress towards that goal Thursday.
