The Facts:
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis caught just one 4-yard pass on four targets in Sunday's Week 14 loss to the New York Jets. It was Lewis' lowest yardage total of the season in games when he recorded at least one reception. Lewis suffered a neck stinger in the third quarter and missed a couple of plays, but he returned and finished the game.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Lewis was a popular waiver wire pickup heading into Week 14's matchup with the Jets. He had been the top fantasy scorer among tight ends over the past three weeks and an integral part of a Chad Henne-led offense. What's more, Cecil Shorts, waiver wire gem and one of fantasy's most productive wide receivers, was ruled out with a concussion. Lewis was expected to get more looks from Henne with Shorts out of the lineup, and rookie wideout Justin Blackmon most likely shadowed by cornerback Antonio Cromartie. Unless you're in a PPR league and got credit for the reception itself, Lewis gave you a zero if you rolled with him this week. We'll know more about Lewis' availability for Week 15 against the Miami Dolphins. While he has a solid chance to bounce back from this week's disaster, can you trust him in the fantasy playoffs?
