Latest Fantasy Rumors
Earns workout Monday
LBFree Agent
August 24, 2020
The Bills hosted Lee for a workout on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2016 first-round pick is still without a team after the Chiefs didn't re-sign him this offseason. Lee was relegated to a depth role in his inaugural season with the Chiefs, logging a career-low 161 defensive snaps despite playing a full 16-game slate for the first time. He'll likely face a similar role with the Bills if he impressed the team enough to earn a contract.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2017
2016
Selected with the 20th overall selection in 2016, Lee showed clear progress in his sophomore season, posting 94 tackles and 3.0 sacks after managing only 73 tackles and one sack as a rookie. While he was drafted for his abilities in pass coverage, Lee has blossomed into a versatile all-around linebacker by growing the run support and blitzing aspects of his game. The Ohio State product doesn't turn 24 until Oct. 18, so don't discount the possibility of another major step forward from him in Year 3.
Lee is expected to start at inside linebacker alongside David Harris, whose best days are behind him. The Jets did little to improve their interior defensive line, which should allow Lee plenty of tackle opportunities as opposing running backs blast through the initial defensive wave. Lee also doesn't have much competition for playing time, so he's likely to be on the field for all three snaps, which should also help his tackle count. Unfortunately, he's not much of a pass rusher, so a jump in sacks (he had one last year) is unlikely to come.
Though Lee is the Jets’ 2016 first-round pick, he remains with the team’s second-string defense two weeks into training camp. At press time, it’s hard to envision him earning a high-percentage of the team’s defensive snaps in 2016, but Lee will at least be rotated in behind starting ILBs David Harris and Erin Henderson in some capacity. At the same time, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility for Lee to push Henderson for a starting role at some point this upcoming season, and all it takes is one injury for him to be forced into considerable playing time. For now, though, the rookie is not generating any IDP appeal.
