The Jaguars rookie receiver pulled up with a hamstring injury in practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: There’s no question the Jaguars and many NFL experts expect Lee to turn into a reliable receiver and maybe even a star someday. That’s what comes with being drafted in the second round. Lee did well in his first career game, catching six passes for 62 yards.
His injury on Wednesday means there's somewhat of a wide receiver carousel spinning around in Jacksonville. Cecil Shorts (hamstring) returned to practice himself, which means that Shorts and teammate Allen Hurns could get a bump in value this week assuming Shorts plays and Lee does not.
Either way, fantasy owners who may have taken a gamble on Lee’s potential in deeper leagues may have to look elsewhere going into the team’s game against Washington.
