Jacksonville Jaguars – WR Marqise Lee
Injuries have been Lee’s biggest issue in his two NFL seasons. Lee, a second-round pick by the Jaguars in 2014, was incredibly productive in three years at USC, but the success hasn’t translated to the pros yet.
Lee missed six games last season and finished with a mere 15 catches for 191 yards and a touchdown. Such minuscule production, particularly when quarterback Blake Bortles exploded for 4,428 yards and 35 touchdown passes, is disappointing.
At this point, Lee is competing for the No. 3 wide receiver job. Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns are firmly fixed as the team’s top wideouts after they both eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in 2015. But Lee is simply too talented to fall off the map completely, and he can still have value as the Jaguars’ third option.
Tight end Julius Thomas will also remain a factor, particularly in the red zone. But between the 20s, a healthy Lee should be able to make an impact.
He’s not a name to draft at this point, but he’s a player to keep in mind as training camps and the preseason move forward. Hurns also battled injuries last season, and if he were to miss time again, Lee would get a significant bump in value.
