Marcedes Lewis Fantasy

The Green Bay Packers re-signed tight end Marcedes Lewis to a two-year, $8 million deal that includes $2.1 million guaranteed. Lewis has spent the last three seasons in Green Bay and caught only 10 passes for 107 yards three touchdowns in his 15th season last year. The Packers also signed long snapper Joe Fortunato on Wednesday. Lewis was mainly used as a blocker in 2020, with Robert Tonyan serving as the team's primary pass-catching tight end. Green Bay also has Jace Sternberger in the fold at the position, so Lewis will return to the same role he had last season. The former first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars back in 2006 has recorded 28 catches on 40 targets for 302 yards and four touchdowns in his three seasons with the Packers. He can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers tight end Marcedes Lewis (knee) is doubtful for Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons. Lewis probably had no chance of suiting up after not practicing all week, leaving Green Bay with Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger at the tight end position. It's a favorable matchup, so Tonyan will be a good streaming option against a struggling Falcons Defense after catching all five of his targets for 50 yards and a score last week. Tonyan is also a good pivot for those who have Julio Jones (hamstring) or Calvin Ridley (ankle, calf) rostered if they wind up being inactive on Monday night.

The Green Bay Packers agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.25 million deal to re-sign tight end Marcedes Lewis on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal includes more than $1 million in guarantees. Lewis spent the last two seasons with the Packers, but he had just 18 catches for 195 yards and one touchdown over that span. Even with Jimmy Graham gone, the veteran tight end will mostly fill a blocking role at the position. If you're targeting a tight end from Green Bay in fantasy, it should be Jace Sternberger. Lewis, 36 in May, was a first-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2006.
