Those numbers are from 8 preseason targets.
8 targets but 62 pass routes though for a target rate of 12.9%.
The number of receivers who step into a "#1 role" their rookie year is vanishingly small. Is it really necessary to explain why a technically raw rookie WR who missed a decent chunk of the preseason with an injury might grow into a different/bigger role than what we've observed in his first 62 preseason routes? Or why he might temporarily take a proverbial backseat to a guy who was healthy all preseason and who played in that OC's system in college?
Slot receiver, as you likely know, implies someone who doesn't play as a 3-down, starting WR. Much like Jennings when he was in Green Bay, Lee is listed as a starting WR - so he will start and play outside in 2 WR sets - and he currently moves into the slot when 3 WRs are on the field.That is a very different reality than what some might otherwise have taken from your either deliberately confusing, or instead poorly articulated, statement at he is a slot receiver.
Greg Jennings could play outside better than what I've seen from Lee. Jennings did play a good amount in the slot, but Donald Driver was the primary slot guy during Jennings' time there.
I'm quoting numbers. How can that not be objective? What is everyone else doing?The biggest Marqise Lee supporter has cooled a lot on Lee. He has come to his senses. I guess some people never learn.
We shall see....only time will tell. I'm not one to go back and forth bc none of us really know how this will play out. For me, I've rostered lee in dynasty and in my redraft and he is a hold. I am higher than a lot of others on the prospects for the jags offense this year and beyond. Henne isn't bad and if he falters bortles will come in and these wrs will be fed the ball. The Jags defense (or there run game) simply isn't good enough for them to be a ground and pound, ball control type of offense so they will have to throw it imo.
What % of the offensive plays was he on the field for? I care more about him being out on the field A LOT than I do about his usage. That said, if he rarely if ever plays as an outside receiver, that definitely limits his upside.
You talking dynasty or redraft? I would hold in dynasty rather than take just anything. I just traded Ahmad Bradshaw and a late 2 for Lee in my dynasty. I thought it was a great buy low opportunity and I had extra RBs. Lee is only 21yrs old and learning the slot is pretty tough. Once he gets it and Bortles gets a year or so under his belt, I have a feeling his value will be much better.I try not to over-react to the first few games of the season, especially in a player's first year. I make an exception in this case, coming to fully regret taking Lee over Robinson. I'm trying to trade Lee for anything I can get, but nobody will bite.

But at least hold out for something decent.I try not to over-react to the first few games of the season, especially in a player's first year.

I'm getting out while I still can, except if I don't get a decent trading partner which would force me to hold him.
Good point. I think I just guessed at his age. Regardless, he's a kid and may need more time to develop than other rookies. I just wouldn't dump him for 1/2 the value you just paid in the rookie draft. At least give him a year or find someone who is willing to pay near full priceLee is actually 23 this year.

He showed very good leaping ability, but still used the same poor technique he did in college. There was an incompletion on a short Out route that he could have came up but he used the same poor technique as well. I think someone told you that as well. Seems like a pattern here.
Both instances, he used "underhand" technique. Should have squared his hands so he can snatch the ball. On the leaping catch, he actually pinned the ball against the DB's hand. He should have snatched the ball and pull it over the DB's hand allowing him to run after the catch. On the Out route, he tried to pull the ball in and trap against his shoulder. Should have extended with the hands square and catch it against the sideline running out of bounds.
