October 12, 2008 Tight end Marcedes Lewis caught three passes for a career-high 64 yards and a touchdown in the Week 6 win over the Broncos.
Our View:Lewis's best NFL day (74 yards) came in the 2007 playoffs, but this was his top regular season outing. He isn't targeted often, but he has found the end zone in two straight games. He is, at best, a low-end No. 2 fantasy tight end.
July 29, 2008 David Garrard has said that he wants to target tight end Marcedes Lewis more often this season, according to the Florida Times Union. "Whenever we talk about catching and receivers, we always talk about receivers. It's something quarterbacks do unless a guy stands out, and he [Lewis] can be that guy," Garrard said. "He can become of those tight ends that are tops in the league. He's a great talent, big size, big target for me to throw to, and we need to make sure we are on the same page. This is something that both of us just have to take to a new level because tight ends are usually my favorite targets."
Our View:Lewis is entering his third season and has three career touchdowns. Garrard is right in calling him a big target. He comes in at 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds. We like his chances to come on with a big year and be a consistent red zone target. Lewis said he's never made the kind of immediate connection with a quarterback the way he did with Garrard. Don't consider him a top-12 guy just yet, but he is an intriguing sleeper.
June 6, 2008 Marcedes Lewis (knee) participated in practice for the first time this spring, according to Jaguars.com.
Our View:The team has been hush after Lewis was reportedly held out of organized team activities. A knee injury that no one seems to know much about.
June 2, 2008 The knee injury that Marcedes Lewis sustained was reported to be a sprain, according to Jaguars.com.
Our View:It remains undisclosed when exactly the injury occured. The severity of the ailment is not known either, other than it is a sprain. Hopefully it is minor, and won't linger into training camp.
May 28, 2008 Marcedes Lewis remains out of practice. He hasn't participated in any of the activities this spring as he recovers from a knee injury, the Florida Times-Union reports.
Our View:Lewis is heading into his third year and has shown signs of being a productive fantasy tight end. We're not too worried about him missing time in May, but his stock will drop if he starts to look questionable for training camp.
