Dion Lewis

Week 13 vs. N.Y. Jets

Dion Lewis only managed eight yards on seven rushing attempts, but did catch seven passes for 33 yards to salvage the day. In his past three games, Lewis has 37 carries for 89 yards. That's neither the workload or result you want from an RB2, let alone a borderline RB1. He also has just 10 catches in those three games, with seven coming last week. But the Jets have allowed 388 rushing yards to backfields the past two weeks, so there is some hope here -- as long as Derrick Henry doesn't steal the day. Use Lewis as a low-end RB2.

Week 11 at Indianapolis Colts

Dion Lewis got a season-high 20 carries and gained 57 yards last week, adding two catches for 11 yards. Derrick Henry did vulture away a pair of touchdowns, which hurts. But Lewis is a borderline RB1 given his workload the past couple of weeks. The Colts rank 20th in rushing yards allowed per game to running backs and allow 7.9 receptions per game to opposing backfields, 31st in the league. Lewis is a solid RB2 with upside this week.

Week 9 at Dallas Cowboys

Rumor has it the Titans would have been willing to deal Derrick Henry at the trade deadline had they found a taker. That doesn't bode well for him moving forward. Add to that the fact Dion Lewis has been the more effective back and perhaps we'll see a little more usage out of Lewis coming out of the bye. It's a tough matchup against the Cowboys on the ground, but they do allow nearly seven receptions to running backs per game, so Lewis is probably worth a low-end RB2 start in a week with six teams on the bye.
