As the NFL is past the midway point of the season, several wide receivers are just now starting to live up to big preseason expectations.


Among those stepping up at just the right time is Marqise Lee, who was the Jacksonville Jaguars’ passing game finally coming alive. After getting off to a slow start this season, Lee has now had 70-plus receiving yards in three-straight games. That includes seven grabs for 75 yards and a score against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Elsewhere, Sterling Shepard is one of the few bright spots for a disastrous New York Giants. When the Giants lost Brandon Marshall and Odell Beckham Jr., Shepard looked primed to become the featured weapon in New York. However, an ankle injury delayed that for several weeks, but now that Shepherd is up to speed, he’s making a big impact after catching five passes on nine targets for 70 yards in Week 9.
