Marshall is starting to receive some early buzz entering his third season, but the former second-round pick finished as a top-24 WR just once in 2022, so that buzz is certainly not based on production. It's all about projection for the 23-year-old Marshall, and at the very least he should be part of a healthier passing game overall with Frank Reich running the show and talented passer Bryce Young at quarterback. Marshall makes for a fine dart throw in the mid-to-late rounds, but if his price tag continues to rise, the juice might not be worth the squeeze.
Marshall was not targeted in Monday night's 20-17 loss to the Saints.
Marshall, who led Carolina's wideouts in snaps Week 1, was pushed down the depth chart with DJ Chark making his season debut. His addition led to Marshall playing under 40 percent of the offensive downs, trailing rookie Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen and Chark. In a limited passing game thus far, Marshall's fourth receiver role doesn't seem to carry much fantasy upside.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Catches two passes
Rotowire
Marshall caught two of six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons.
Marshall overcame a back injury to suit up and ultimately lead Carolina's receivers in snaps. Featuring on 90 percent of the offensive plays, Marshall tied for second in targets, trailing tight end Hayden Hurst's seven. Although his production wasn't anything special, Marshall's usage with DJ Chark (hamstring) sidelined was encouraging. He could remain regularly involved alongside rookie Jonathan Mingo even when Chark returns to his place in the starting lineup with Adam Thielen.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Marshall (back) practice in a limited capacity Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
While Marshall maintained his activity level from Wednesday, fellow wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) did not, as he joined DJ Chark (hamstring) as a non-participant. If one or both of Thielen and Chark have to sit out Sunday in Atlanta, Marshall could have an elevated role alongside rookie Jonathan Mingo, assuming the former gains clearance to play.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Still limited at practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Marshall (back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Marshall's status for Sunday's game in Atlanta is still up in the air while he works his way back from a back injury that he sustained in an Aug. 14 practice. He'll still have two more chances to upgrade to full participation in practice, but if Marshall can't go Sunday, rookie Jonathan Mingo will likely be one of the largest beneficiaries in terms of snaps.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Practices in limited fashion
Rotowire
Marshall (back) returned to practice Tuesday as a limited participant, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Coach Frank Reich said Marshall didn't participate fully but that his reps were "enough... a good first step," per Augusta Stone of the Panthers' official site. DJ Chark (hamstring) did rehab work Tuesday, while Laviska Shenault (concussion) was able to take the field in a red non-contact jersey. If Marshall manages to return for Week 1's match against the Falcons but Chark remains sidelined, he could start the season as one of Carolina's top three wideouts.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Expected to miss a few weeks
Rotowire
Marshall (back) is expected to miss a few weeks, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Marshall was injured in practice earlier in the week and is now likely to miss the remainder of the preseason. His status for Week 1 may also be in jeopardy, considering the season opener is in 24 days. With Marshall sidelined, rookie Jonathan Mingo should open the season as a starter alongside Adam Thielen and DJ Chark.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Marshall (back) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason matchup against the Giants, Augusta Stone of the Panthers' official site reports.
Head coach Frank Reich said the Panthers are "still evaluating" the extent of Marshall's back injury. The third-year player looks like the No. 4 wideout on the depth chart at the moment, so every remaining practice rep ahead of Week 1 will be crucial for any chance of Marshall handling a meaningful role in the season opener.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Dealing with back injury
Rotowire
Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Marshall "tweaked a little something in his back" prior to leaving Monday's practice in a cart, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Reich's statement clarifies the nature of Marshall's injury. After being blanked in Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets on both a personal and team level, Marshall will look to recover in time to play in Carolina's next preseason game Friday against the Giants.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Leaves practice on cart
Rotowire
Marshall (undisclosed) left Monday's practice on a cart, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Marshall rode in the front seat of a cart while leaving the field Monday, and Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports that the departure didn't seem very notable. That paints a somewhat less alarming picture than Schefter's report of Marshall being carted off the field, but the third-year wideout's health will still need to be monitored. Marshall operated as Carolina's No. 4 wideout during Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Opens preseason as WR4
Rotowire
Marshall wasn't targeted in Saturday's 27-0 preseason loss to the Jets.
Marshall didn't start the game but checked in on the team's second possession while starting quarterback Bryce Young was still in the game. While Marshall didn't gain any ground on Adam Thielen, DJ Chark or rookie second-round pick Jonathan Mingo for a potential starting spot, none of those receivers posted multiple catches in this game, so Marshall could still make a push for a larger role with a strong performance against the Giants in Carolina's second preseason game.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Excelling in practices
Rotowire
Marshall has "really surged over the last four practices" and was one of Carolina's standouts at the team's in-stadium practice Wednesday night, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
The 2021 second-round pick previously earned praise from coaches and beat writers during the offseason program and seems to have continued the momentum into training camp. Despite catching only 45 passes for 628 yards and one TD through 27 career games, Marshall comes with some third-year-breakout potential in an offense that has a new playcaller (head coach Frank Reich) and a new quarterback (first overall pick Bryce Young). It helps that Marshall is one of the youngest players from his draft class, having turned 23 in June, though he'll still have to battle for snaps after the Panthers signed Adam Thielen and DJ Chark in March and drafted Jonathan Mingo in April. Chark's presence, in particular, could be a significant obstacle for Marshall, considering both are tall, fast receivers who primarily run routes downfield from outside alignments.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Makes two grabs
Rotowire
Marshall caught two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Saints.
Marshall actually led the Panthers in all major receiving categories, evidencing their struggles in the passing game. After being frozen out to begin his second campaign, the former second-round pick finished with 28 catches on 47 targets for 490 yards and one touchdown in 14 appearances. That production marked improvement from his rookie year, all the while dealing with a rotating cast of quarterbacks. Marshall will hope to retain his starting role behind DJ Moore in 2023, but as Carolina likely strives to increase its offensive upside, it wouldn't be surprising if Marshall's spot comes under competition prior to next season.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Quiet in defeat
Rotowire
Marshall caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.
Marshall also coughed the ball up twice but didn't lose either fumble. The wideout had topped 50 yards in consecutive contests entering Sunday, so he'll strive to bounce back and finish the season strong Week 18 versus his home-state Saints.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Catches all looks
Rotowire
Marshall caught all three of his targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Steelers.
Marshall's total included a 40-yard gain during the first quarter. In the end, only top wideout DJ Moore had more receptions and targets than Marshall. After hardly being used during the start of the season, last year's second-rounder has now topped 50 yards four times in his last seven outings.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Catches only look
Rotowire
Marshall caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks.
Marshall has now made just one reception in back-to-back games. Although fellow starting wideout DJ Moore posted a goose egg Sunday, Marshall's lack of production with Sam Darnold under center should temper his already lukewarm stock in Week 15 versus the Steelers.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Quiet in win
Rotowire
Marshall caught one of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.
Marshall's three targets were the second most of any Panthers pass catcher behind only DJ Moore, who finished with four catches on six targets for 103 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Sam Darnold made his first start of the season Sunday, and while Carolina's receivers had to deal with yet another in-season quarterback change, Moore was the biggest benefactor. Marshall just couldn't get anything going on a day when Darnold threw for only 164 yards. The second-year wideout will look to build chemistry with his signal caller as the team enters its bye week. The Panthers visit the Seahawks in Week 14, and Marshall will look to take a step forward and improve upon his underwhelming Week 12 performance.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Available Sunday, as expected
Rotowire
Marshall (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
The 22-year-old was considered questionable for Sunday's contest, but it's no surprise he'll be suiting up after he practiced Friday with no limitations. Marshall has 13 receptions for 290 yards and one touchdown in five games since Robbie Anderson was traded to the Cardinals, though he'll have to contend with another quarterback change with Sam Darnold taking over under center versus Denver.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Team-high yardage total

Marshall secured three of six targets for 76 yards in the Panthers' 13-3 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Marshall made a splash play through the air for the second straight game after also recording a 43-yard grab in the Week 10 win over the Falcons. The second-year receiver has over 70 receiving yards in two of his last three games and multiple catches in four of his last five, commendable accomplishments when considering the state of the Panthers' quarterback situation.

Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Makes splash on only reception
Rotowire
Marshall brought in one of two targets for 43 yards in the Panthers' 25-15 win over the Falcons on Thursday night.
Marshall led the Panthers in receiving yards despite making just one catch, which came on a late third-quarter drive that culminated in a 12-yard touchdown run for D'Onta Foreman. The second-year wideout's increased role over the last four games is encouraging, as he's posted 214 receiving yards and a touchdown on 10 catches in that span. Marshall's next opportunity to continue strengthening his grip on the No. 2 receiver role will come against the Ravens in a Week 11 road matchup a week from Sunday.
Terrace Marshall has earned 15 targets in two games since the Panthers traded away Robbie Anderson and Christian McCaffrey. He's averaged 13.5 PPR Fantasy points in those two games and faces a Falcons defense that has allowed the most FPPG to opposing wide receivers this season.
