Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis, who was hobbled by a calf injury earlier this season, is coming off his best game of the season Week 10 at Tennessee, totaling three catches for 39 yards. Lewis will look to build off that performance Week 11 vs. Arizona.
Tight ends have done well against Arizona this season. They are averaging 85.4 receiving yards and 13.8 Fantasy points per week, which is the highest average in the NFL. Tight ends have totaled nine touchdowns in nine games against Arizona.
Three tight ends have had multi-touchdown games against the Cardinals. They are Jared Cook, Jimmy Graham and Vernon Davis. Clearly, teams have had success attacking the middle of the field against Arizona, which could be a strategy Jacksonville employs Week 11.
It's definitely a gamble to start Lewis because he hasn't done much this season. But if you need a bye-week replacement or looking for a sleeper option at tight end, then Lewis is a viable candidate given the favorable matchup.
