Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee is not practicing with the team on Thursday, according to Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union. Lee is dealing with a hamstring issue that's been with him for a couple weeks, and he left practice with the issue on Wednesday of last week. He did return to practice the following day.
Lee has played in both of Jacksonville’s games thus far, but has been in and out of practice with the injury. It’s a big deal for the Jaguars, who also have receivers Cecil Shorts and Allen Hurts injured. Lee, a second-round pick this year, has seen 14 targets through two games. He’s caught eight of them for 73 yards but has yet to find the end zone.
Fantasy Impact: Lee is behind Shorts on the depth chart, whenever Shorts returns, and has already been passed by Allen Hurns as well. He's the third receiver on the field at this point and could fall further if he keeps missing practice. Fantasy owners shouldn't consider starting him, and it's hard to conjure up reasons to even keep him on rosters at this point.
