Quietly, Marcedes Lewis is becoming a late-round Fantasy Football sleeper thanks in part to the high praise heaped upon him by his coaching staff. The Florida Times-Union believes Lewis will be freed up more to run routes rather than block, making him a bigger part of the Jaguars' passing game in 2013.
"I like what Marcedes can do," offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch said. "He's one of those guys who is big and strong and physical and can run block and pass protect. And he's been able to make the tough catches."
"I liked him then and after watching him on tape [as a pro], I like him even more,” added tight ends coach Ron Middleton, who scouted Lewis when he came out of college. "I think he's progressed nicely in his career. He brings some things to the table that can go hand-in-hand with this offense."
