November 8, 2008 Packers tight end Donald Lee has seen his role reduced from last year, and he would like to catch more passes in the coming weeks, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I wish I could touch the ball at least four, five, six times a game. I'm better than I was last year," Lee said.
Our View:Lee's tone was simply one of disappointment, and he also stated how he would simply do what the coaches asked of him. Fantasy owners would like to see Lee get some more touches as well, as his 22 catches for two touchdowns simply aren't the kind of numbers that make him a reliable weekly play.
September 25, 2008 Pro Football Weekly reports that head coach Mike McCarthy indicated this week that he wanted to get his tight ends more involved in the offense, which should spell more opportunities for Donald Lee .
Our View:Through three games, Lee has just 10 receptions. Tampa Bay is among the better pass defenses in the league, so Lee remains a tough play for this week.
November 15, 2007 Donald Lee is dealing with sore ribs and missed some of the work Thursday, though he's still likely to play against Carolina. Lee is a key element in the Packers passing game these days, and Bubba Franks (knee) is expected to play again this week.
November 5, 2007 The Packers signed tight end Donald Lee to a four-year extension on Monday. According to NFL.com the deal is worth around $12 million.
September 14, 2007 Donald Lee was limited during Thursday’s practice by a knee injury. The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that the injury is not considered serious.
Our View:Lee should get the start on Sunday against the Giants. The backup plan is Bubba Franks, who has plenty of starting experience.
