Patriot fans.....latest update on Dion Lewis?
- Thread starter HUDSON
- Start date
Very true.....has he practiced at all? Just not seeing much info on it at all besides what was published Nov 2nd saying they hope to have him back after the bye
The Patriots are hoping to have Dion Lewis (knee, PUP) back for Week 10 against the Seahawks.
Lewis may have been able to play this week had New England not been on bye. He resumed practicing last Thursday and looks set to resume his role as the Patriots' passing-down back. Lewis hasn't played an NFL game in almost a year after undergoing two knee surgeries. Lewis isn't a real threat to LeGarrette Blount's workload, though he'll likely cut into James White's playing time. Nov 2 - 6:39 PM

Again, don't put much stock into anything any writer, fan or coach says. Remember, last year, we didn't have a clue that Lewis would be such a big part of their offense and he came out like gangbusters with Brady throwing him short passes left and right game 1. I think I picked up on something from a beat writer just before game time and I took a flyer on him as my last spot on fantasy roster...made my season until he got injured in week 7 or 8.

Yea I've been riding James White that's why I'm asking.....White's been SOLID! But, looks like his days are over. They'll probably use both guys which sucks too if you want to play either one.
It's very confusing because ESPN White projected a solid number and has Lewis at 0. Then Yahoo has Lewis projected a decent number and White a lower number.....what the hell do you do with that?

With both their roles uncertain in a potentially tough matchup, I would avoid playing either one against the seahawks, honestly. If you are in a PPR and have to play one, I'd role with White, assuming that Lewis isn't quite ready to contribute at a high level. I'd also keep an eye on whether Bennett and/or Chancelor are playing too.
Will do!! I got a lot of byes this week so may have to roll with White.....or Crowell vs Baltimore tomorrow which I don't like.
He's been practicing, but you won't get any info from Pats on his status until league rules say they have to.

It looks like Lewis should play against the Seahwaks. If he does, fantasy owners should see him as a flex play for this week. But with definite value going forward.7. NE - RB Dion Lewis 'nasty' in practice
Source: NFL.com - Chris Wesseling
New England Patriots RB Dion Lewis (knee) has been cleared to play. At least one teammate isn't doing anything to stop the hype surrounding what most expect to be his season debut. "He's nasty in the open field," starting running back LeGarrette Blount told NFL.com's Mike Garafolo. "It doesn't make any sense."
According to NFL.com, "Lewis has been so electric in the open field that Blount described him as an unfair matchup for opposing safeties."

Message! If Lewis plays, we see him as a 'what the heck' flex play against Seattle. The Patriots may choose to ease him back into action and have Lewis split third-down snaps with James White. If he's available for trade or the waiver wire in your league, grab him and stash him if you can.
Patriots activated RB Dion Lewis from the PUP list.
Lewis is on track to return Sunday night after practicing all week.
His role should be limited if active.
Lewis hasn't played since 2015 and is going to be eased in to the Patriots' offense. James White will remain the primary pass-down back against Seattle. Nov 12 - 4:11 PM

NO MATTER what Patriots do or try it will not matter they fail the bowl this year.
NO TEAM THAT ATE BAGEL in Season ever won a superbowl from way back in 1988 results i found ...
Two got there and both lost the Bills 4th n final bowl got creamated
The Titans LOST to The Rams
dosent matter who was the QB but that suspension worked after Patriots pitched a donut to Texans they came home to get blanked by rival Bills.

How many of those teams were playing an injured 3rd string QB in that game then had The G.O.A.T. come back the next week?
