What Does Alshon Jeffery's 2015 Outlook Look Like Without Brandon Marshall?
Now that Brandon Marshall is gone, will Alshon Jeffery become a truly elite wide receiver?

reason enough to hesitate on Jeffery's fantasy football ceiling. Of course, Marshall is now a New York Jet, and Jeffery stands alone as the team's primary, undisputed number-one wide receiver.

With Cutler's 2014 woes, Bennett's contract situation that there have been offseason trade rumblings. Still, Jeffery is going to contend with at least one red zone threat if Bennett is utilized similarly this year under the new coaching staff.

If rookie wide receiver Kevin White realizes his potential in 2015 (especially in the red zone), then Jeffery might be seeing more of the same yet again.

Upside

So, a knock on Jeffery last year was the competition for targets and touchdowns. That will likely still be a thing. He's being drafted as the 10th overall receiver in best-ball leagues right now. Is his upside priced into his draft-day cost like it was last year when he was picked as the ninth overall receiver?

Despite his unclear opportunity, there are plenty of reasons for optimism. New head coach John Fox likes Jeffery plenty, and all indications point to Jeffery's playing the third-round draft investment it'll take to draft him.
