Terrace Marshall Jr. Fantasy

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. (head) will miss his team's Week 7 matchup against the Giants with a concussion. Marshall, who remains in the league's concussion protocol, will miss his first career game after not practicing for the whole week. Marshall's absence should mean increased playing time for both Shi Smith and Alex Erickson (head). However, quarterback Sam Darnold is likely to lock onto D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson even more frequently than usual, giving each of them a slight boost in value.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Marshall suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and remains in the league's concussion protocol. He'll need to make noticeable progress on Friday to have a shot at playing this Sunday against the New York Giants. The 21-year-old second-rounder has only 14 catches on 22 targets for 116 yards through his first six games as the No. 3 behind Robby Anderson and D.J. Moore, so he hasn't really been worth holding in 12-team, single-year fantasy leagues. If Marshall misses his first game this weekend, Alex Erickson and rookie Shi Smith would be competing for looks as the No. 3.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. (head) missed Wednesday's practice. Marshall is in the concussion protocol after he took a big hit during last week's loss to the Vikings, and he isn't off to a good start this week in terms of practice. The rookie wideout has struggled to make an impact this year, as he has totaled just 13 catches on 20 targets for 107 yards through six games played. Fellow rookie Shi Smith looks poised to see an increase in playing time, though the likely beneficiaries of a potential Marshall absence would be D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson, who have averaged 10.6 and 9.6 targets per game respectively over the last three weeks.
