Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee is frustrating coach Gus Bradley with his play early this season, according to Hays Carlyon. Lee has just 8 catches for 73 yards through two games this season.
Marqise Lee frustrating coaches, fantasy value a question mark moving forward

Fantasy Impact: Coming into the season, Lee was slotted as the team's number two receiver behind veteran Cecil Shorts III. Shorts has yet to play this season due to a hamstring injury, which gave rookie Allen Hurns an opportunity to start.
Hurns hasn’t been much better than Lee this season, but he has showed the coaching staff his knowledge of the team’s plays is superior to Lee’s. With Shorts returning to practice on Wednesday and presumably ready to play, it’s Lee and not Hurns who looks to be the odd man out in two-receiver sets.
Lee caught just a pair of passes for 11 yards in Week 2 vs. Washington, a team not exactly known for it’s pass defense. Fantasy owners would be advised to drop Lee and search elsewhere for a sleeper at this point as Lee seems to be going through a rather steep learning curve right now.
