Marqise Lee (WR, JAX) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12-team leagues

Owned In: 11% of Fleaflicker Leauges

Analysis: Marqise Lee is the most under-appreciated fantasy receiver in the league right now. Though he is only 11% owned on Fleaflicker, he has stats eerily similar to a much higher owned receiver on the same team, in Allen Hurns (87% owned). While Hurns has the edge in targets (23-to-18), the rest of their stats are close. Hurns has 13 receptions and 179 yards, compared to Lee’s 12 receptions and 141 yards.

Coming into the season, head coach Gus Bradley was excited about Lee and his potential for this season. His main reasoning was that he is finally healthy. Lee has dealt with hamstring and knee injuries in the past, but comes into the 2016 season with a clean slate ate a clear mind. As he enters his third season with the Jaguars, he is becoming more confident in his role and his connection with QB Blake Bortles is growing. What separates Lee from the other receivers on the Jaguars is his pure speed. The Jags will find a way to keep getting him the ball so he will be able to fully utilize his strength while he is healthy. The bigs plays for Lee haven’t come yet, but as the targets continue to come the big plays will follow.

Lee is a solid add in PPR leagues; he has caught five passes in each of the past two weeks. The Jaguars have been forced to pass the ball a ton once again in 2016 (top-five in passing attempts so far in 2016), meaning Lee will be a continued factor in the offense as the season rolls on. He makes for a solid deep add in PPR leagues as his involvement in the offense grows over the season.
