Pats Dion Lewis continues to lead backfield

Oct 23, 2017

Dion Lewis built on the momentum from last week's win over the Jets, in which he played a season-high 29 offensive snaps, by starting over Mike Gillislee and finishing with 76 yards on 13 carries, with a long run of 25 yards.

"It's good to get an explosive run in there," coach Bill Belichick said. "When you can get a 20-yard run or a 15-yard run, that helps the running game a lot more than than seven 3-yarders. It's good to have a couple of those."

Fantasy Impact:

White was still involved as was Burkhead who played for the first time since Week 2. But once again it was Lewis who led the way in carries.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
