BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Standard / 10+ Team PPR Leagues
OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: This isn't a surprising name at all. Dion Lewis took 15 carries for 69 yards and had 4 catches for 51 yards against the Steelers defense on Thursday night, where he looked quick, agile, and impressive. That's not to say that Lewis is actually that caliber of talent, he definitely benefitted from facing a defense that is likely to finish amongst the bottom of the the league.
But having that kind of performance could lead to him being given the shot at another one. We all know the Patriots running back situation has value. Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley might seem like a story from ages ago, but imagine with me here: you know the Patriots are a top 8 offense every year. You know that being in an offense that scores often and consistently puts up over 350+ yards a week is beneficial to a running back. So why not take the chance off the waiver wire?
