Marcedes Lewis said he expects to be a major part of the Jaguars' passing offense this season.
Last year, Lewis saw just 4.8 targets per game and finished with a 52/540/4 line. He expects things to be different under new coordinator Jedd Fisch. "They're going to move the ball in this offense," he said. "They're going to give me the opportunity to get the ball in my hands and get busy." Lewis should be rooting for Chad Henne to win the starting gig. In Blaine Gabbert's nine full games last year, Marcedes totaled just 26 catches for 234 yards and two touchdowns. Apr 18 - 12:50 PM

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

According to the Times Union, the "feeling inside the building" is that Marcedes Lewis was underused last season.

Lewis carries a $5.75 million cap number in 2013, but his roster spot isn't in doubt as the new regime is high on him. GM David Caldwell has been "consistent in his praise" of the athletic tight end and feels Lewis was kept in for pass protection too often last year. Lewis has the skills to capitalize on mismatches with linebackers as evidenced by his 700-yard, 10-touchdown outburst in 2010.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

CBS' Jason La Canfora says Marcedes Lewis' future with the Jaguars is "in doubt."

Lewis is due $4.2 million in 2013 with three years left on a five-year deal, but he's been unimpressive since inking the hefty, $35 million contract. Lewis showed better down the stretch with Chad Henne at quarterback, but he was a non-factor with Blaine Gabbert at the helm. Rookie GM David Caldwell recently called Lewis a "very good tight end," so he seems to figure into the 2013 plans.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Jaguars rookie GM David Caldwell characterized Marcedes Lewis as a "very good tight end" when interviewed at the Super Bowl.

Caldwell has watched all 16 of the Jaguars' 2012 games and individual cut-ups of some players. Lewis is due $4.2 million in 2013, but it sounds like he's a part of Jacksonville's plans after a pedestrian 52/540/4 season.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught seven balls for 103 yards in the Jaguars' Week 17 loss to the Titans.

Lewis' 103 yards weren't just a career high; it took him 111 career games to clear 80 receiving yards, including playoffs. Primarily a blocker and possession receiver around the line of scrimmage, Lewis is a better real-life than fantasy player and pretty much always has been. Turning 29 in May, Lewis will return to Jacksonville in 2013 at his scheduled $4.2 million salary.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught four passes for 27 yards in Week 16 versus the Patriots.

Lewis was a desperate option for fantasy owners against a New England defense that struggles to cover opposing tight ends, but he didn't answer with much production. His 45 catches on the season are already good enough for the second-best mark in Lewis' seven-year career, but he's averaging less than ten yard per catch. Lewis and the Jaguars wrap up the season in Tennessee next week.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis was held to three catches for eight yards in the Jaguars' Week 15 loss to the Dolphins.

Lewis has finished back-to-back games with single-digit yardage and would be a poor TE1 bet in Week 16 against the Patriots, despite the fact that New England has given up a ton of fantasy points to tight ends this season.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught just one pass for four yards in Week 14 against the Jets.

Lewis was a non-factor and was targeted just four times on the day, despite playing a larger part in the offense over recent weeks. He'll likely bounce back against the Dolphins next week, but Lewis won't be any more than a high TE2.
Sun, Dec 9, 2012 05:48:00 PM
Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught four passes for 68 yards at Buffalo in Week 13.

He was targeted seven times. Posting season-highs in yards in back-to-back games, Lewis is now averaging 55 yards in three games with Chad Henne under center. He's back on the TE1 radar for Week 14 versus a Jets defense allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to tight ends.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Chad Henne made it a priority to get Marcedes Lewis involved once he took over as the starting quarterback.

"Look, I'm going to catch you up and get things going," Henne told his 6'6/275 tight end. He's stayed true to his word as Lewis has awoken from the dead over the last two weeks, catching seven passes for 96 yards and scoring two touchdowns. "Chad has seen me do things in practice so he's going to give the benefit of the doubt and let me go up and get the ball," Lewis said. "It's exciting to see." Lewis will at least be a TE2 with upside against the Bills this week.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught four of six targets for a season-high 56 yards versus the Titans in Week 12.

Lewis was heavily involved early, hauling in passes of 21, 5, and 23 yards over the middle in the first quarter. With Chad Henne under center, he no longer faces an existential angst. The 2010 Pro Bowler is once again relevant in fantasy circles as a borderline TE1 option at Buffalo in Week 13.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught three passes for 40 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11 against the Texans.

Lewis reeled in all three of his targets and cashed in for the two scores. Chad Henne finally utilized the behemoth tight end's size in the red zone. Lewis scored from 13 yards out in the first quarter and then again from one yard out in the third quarter. They were Lewis' second and third visits to the end zone this season. He'll be a solid TE2 play against the Titans in Week 12.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught three passes for 36 yards in Jacksonville's Week 10 loss to the Colts.

Lewis was targeted four times in the first half but was nowhere to be found in the second half garbage time mode. It was a standard output for Lewis, and he is only waiver wire material.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught four passes for 41 yards in Jacksonville's Week 9 loss.

Lewis was targeted six times on the day, but he dropped his first target and was overshot in the end zone on the final ball in his direction. Halfway through the season, Lewis is on pace to catch just 46 passes for 396 yards and four touchdowns. The 46 passes is on pace for the team lead, along with Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon, so that tells you how anemic the Jags' passing attack is. Lewis is waiver wire material.

Marcedes Lewis - TE - Jaguars

Marcedes Lewis caught just two passes for 21 yards in Week 8 against the Packers.

Lewis hauled in just two of his six targets, and Blaine Gabbert badly missed him in the end zone in the second half and once again in the open field on another drive. Lewis' fantasy stock has taken quite a fall in the past couple seasons. He's waiver wire material.
