NE RB Dion Lewis - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Miami
Dion Lewis was given 16 carries in which he accumulated 52 yards and also had one reception for five yards in a 41-3 win against the Jets in Week 16. Per Joe Holka’s Rushing Expectation, Dion Lewis performed above expectation in his 2015 sample by 6.3% in the run game and 13.8% in the passing game in 2015. There’s plenty of receiving work to go around, but as long as both White and Lewis are getting targets, his ceiling is a bit capped. It is a slightly below-average matchup in regards to RB aFPA, but Lewis will be a mid-ranged RB3 in Week 17 against the Dolphins.

NE RB Dion Lewis - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. New York Jets
Dion Lewis was given 18 carries on which he accumulated 95 yards (and also had two receptions for nine yards) in a 16-3 win against the Broncos in Week 15. There’s plenty of receiving work to go around, but as long as both White and Lewis are getting targets, his ceiling is a bit capped. It is a slightly above average matchup in regards to RB aFPA against the Jets, but Lewis will be a high-end RB3 in Week 16.

NE RB Dion Lewis - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Denver
Dion Lewis was given three carries in which he accumulated 14 yards and also had one reception for five yards on a single target in a 30-23 win against the Ravens in Week 14. There’s plenty of receiving work to go around, but as long as both James White and Lewis are getting targets, neither one is likely to be dependable or productive enough to roster. Believe it or not, this is a good matchup for the running game against the Broncos, as they rank as one of the most favorable matchups in the league in regards to RB aFPA. Lewis will be a low-end option in this crowded backfield in Week 15.

NE RB Dion Lewis - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Baltimore
Dion Lewis was given five carries in which he accumulated 27 yards and also had four receptions for 11 yards on fuve targets in a 26-10 win against the Rams in Week 13. Per Joe Holka’s Rushing Expectation, Dion Lewis performed above expectation in his 2015 sample by 6.3% in the run game and 13.8% in the passing game in 2015. This situation is hard to trust in fantasy, as Lewis and James White seem to be sharing the passing game role in this offense out of the backfield. New England is touchdown home favorite against the Ravens, who rank as one of the worst matchups in the league in regards to RB aFPA. Lewis will be a high-end RB4 in Week 14.

NE RB Dion Lewis - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Los Angeles
Dion Lewis was given six carries in which he accumulated 24 yards and also had four receptions for 37 yards on seven targets in a 22-17 comeback win against the Jets in Week 12. Per Joe Holka’s Rushing Expectation, Dion Lewis performed above expectation in his 2015 sample by 6.3% in the run game and 13.8% in the passing game in 2015. His snap counts are still too low to feel confident in playing him, as he played just 23-of-73 last week. New England is heavy home favorite against the Rams, who rank slightly less favorable than the middle of the pack in RB aFPA. Lewis will be a mid-range RB3 against the Rams.

NE RB Dion Lewis - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside{Dion Lewis is the best running back on this team, and was one of the best in the entire NFL last season through eight weeks. In PPR leagues he is an elite option but he can also do plenty of damage between the tackles. In the six games he was healthy Lewis averaged 12.8 touches for 95 yards and 0.67 touchdowns. Lewis received 13 red zone carries in just seven games last seasons and remains a significant touchdown threat regardless of his competition. According to Rushing Expectation, a running back methodology by Joe Holka, Lewis performed 6.3% better than his offensive line expectation in regards to success rate and 13.8 percent above expectation per target.

Fantasy Downside
Lewis is coming off of an ACL injury that ended his season in 2015. Injuries have plagued his career and has had issues with fumbling in the past. If this continues head coach Bill Belichick has shown no hesitation in sitting talented players in favor of reliability. The game plans of Belichick and McDaniel’s are very game specific and can favor of a big back like LeGarrette Blount in certain situations.

2016 Bottom Line
Lewis will be a stud regardless of game script as he is one of the most versatile weapons in the league. He is great in pass protection and will remain efficient between the tackles as well as a consistent option in the intermediate passing game. In PPR leagues, we like him much higher than his current ADP.
