Nothing extremely positive coming out about Lewis this week. With it being a short week and playing tonight, I'm going to play it safe and bench him..

I'd almost rather him not play and get healthy for next week. Last 2+ weeks have sucked having to monitor and guess.

If you have other options, let him ride the bench and hopefully he returns to form. I'm starting Forsett over him (he has a good matchup anyway) and will revisit next week.

I do think he plays tonight though.

Especially if you have better RB options, I would definitely sit him, and hopefully he gets healthier and does even better next week.

Debating between Lewis and Lacy

Really wish I had a stronger picture of James Starks health before deciding.

Dion clearly wasn't healthy against Indy, and sat out against the Jets to rest up. I'm playing him where I've got him. Game plan should be a lot different against a Miami team that can be run on.

The rotoworld note has me second guessing my decision to bench him.

Benching him. Got Forsett and Johnson starting this week so I should be alright.

eta: even if he was 100%, I'd still be going with Forsett (vs San Diego, 31st in run defense) and Johnson (vs. Cleveland, 32nd in run defense)

I'm starting him in 2 leagues, so he is destined for negative points.

I don't think so, all of Brady's actual receiving options are now healthy so I think his target share will decrease a bit...Blount is obviously a factor in the backfield but Lewis was outsnapping him by a large margin before he got hurt

The Oline is still super banged up. If they are in their usual pass happy mode, that's great for him because they use him as a quick value as a replacement for a running game

But if they can run on a team, then it's the Blount show and his value is severely diminished
