Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (hamstring) will not play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5, according to The Florida Times-Union's Ryan O'Halloran. Lee has been sidelined with the injury since Week 2.
Marqise Lee out for Week 5, still on fantasy sidelines
The Jags’ receiving corps has been hampered by injuries all year, and Lee still isn’t ready to go. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: A lot has changed since Lee first went down. First, Chad Henne has been replaced at quarterback by Blake Bortles. Second, Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns have seemingly supplanted Lee in the receiving corps. One thing that hasn't changed: Cecil Shorts III is still on the sidelines with his own hamstring issues.
All of this adds up to uncertainty surrounding Lee’s fantasy value moving forward. As of this moment, there is a good chance he’ll be out in Week 6 as well, which means Robinson and Hurns might be better options in the near future.
Fantasy owners can grab Lee off of the waiver wire in the coming weeks, so for now he’s better off being left in the free agent pool, even in deeper leagues.
