Top 50 Position Battles: Lewis vs. Wiggins
#37. Jaguars TE: Marcedes Lewis vs. Jermaine Wiggins vs. George Wrighster
Big things are expected from Lewis as a first-round pick in 2006, but he may struggle to fulfill his potential this season. The lanky target missed most of training camp last year with an ankle injury, then didn’t catch up all season. He continued to miss time this offseason with a hamstring injury.
Perhaps that’s why Jack Del Rio and Mike Tice felt more comfortable bringing in human bowling ball Jermaine Wiggins. Wiggins isn’t flashy, but he has good hands, smarts, and a history of productivity. He is a favorite of Tice's from their days in Minnesota. Wrighster was the starter last season and caught a career-high 39 passes. He’s recovering from a torn labrum, though, and may be third in line going into camp.
The Jaguars passing game was re-tooled this offseason to go vertical. Frankly, its impossible to guess how the ball will be spread around. My guess is there is too much competition at tight end for one guy to rise above the fray and be a good fantasy option. Don’t draft Wiggins or Lewis, but watch to see if anyone creates separation in camp.
Comments
I was just offered Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, and Kenny Irons for Brandon Jackson, Julius Jones, and Tatum Bell in a dynasty league.
My running backs besides bell/jackson/jones are DeAngelo williams and Deshuan Foster...it is a point per reception league...do you like that trade?

I'd take the Redskins. You have depth already. Giving up a little this year but getting the best player in the deal and betts could possibly move on.

I live here in Jacksonville. You may want to keep an eye on the winner of this TE competition. Remember, Dirk Koetter is the new OC. His Arizona State teams threw to the TE a lot. Word out of OTAs were that the Jags were throwing to the TEs often. If a single guy can emerge his stats may be very nice.
