Marcedes Lewis Fantasy

The Chicago Bears have signed tight end Marcedes Lewis to a one-year deal. Lewis is heading into his 18th season which will break a tie with Jason Witten and Tony Gonzalez for the most ever played by a tight end. The 39-year-old last played with the Green Bay Packers last season. He played a minimal role where he hauled in six receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games. The expectation is that he'll mainly be a depth option and a veteran presence in the locker room.

Free agent tight end Marcedes Lewis is rumored to be drawing interest from the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders during the legal tampering period of the 2023 free agency. Lewis could join Aaron Rodgers in New York if Rodgers finally decides to accept a trade there, but time will tell. After a 12-year career in Jacksonville, the 38-year-old tight end has spent the last five seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He has caught 57 of his 75 targets for 582 yards and six touchdowns during that span. He is primarily a blocking tight end, so he won't be on the fantasy radar no matter where he lands.

The Green Bay Packers placed tight end Marcedes Lewis and linebacker Oren Burks on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. There's a chance they could both clear the league's COVID protocols by Sunday, but it remains to be seen if that will happen. Splitting time and targets with Josiah Deguara, Lewis hasn't become a fantasy relevant streamer at the weakest position despite the season-ending injury to Robert Tonyan earlier this year. Lewis has 23 catches (27 targets) for 214 scoreless yards in 15 games played. But if Lewis is out in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the position in the last three weeks, Deguara would become a more attractive TE2.
