james00 4 Posted September 5, 2015 The Pats are apparently high on this guy. Do you guys think he will fill the Shane Vereen role? Any thoughts? Might be a good ppr pickup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,315 Posted September 5, 2015 Could be on to something. Gray gets cut while Lewis gets the starter treatment sitting out the final preseason game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kflo 0 Posted September 5, 2015 Damn I traded Jonas Gray in a Dynasty league to a guy for McFadden. Opps lol. I think Gray resurfaces elsewhere on someones practice squad. I like his talent. Anyhow I just picked up Lewis in my Dynasty league. Lewis showed speed and some power too. I think he has allot to offer. and could be a sleeper RB #3 with #2 upside.

AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted September 6, 2015 Is he worth a shot in a standard league? I usually stay away from all Pats RB's but I'm in a 14 team league and am desperate for a Week 1 plug and play RB with Bell out and Tre Mason likely out as well (plus very few options on WW).

james00 4 Posted September 6, 2015 I would be scared to start him Thursday, but I think he probably does get some playing time. He may do good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the spanker 28 Posted September 6, 2015 I think Bolden is the play here if the Pats roll with who they have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,315 Posted September 6, 2015 I think Bolden is the play here if the Pats roll with who they have. Â Bolden is a special teams guy. They mix him in here and there but I'd be surprised if he became their primary third down back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbyn2022 53 Posted September 6, 2015 Got this from somewhere else  He could make an impact. He has rare, elite balance/ankle breaking skill and adequate power/speed and good hands/catch. Very compact. Deceptive power, adequate for nickel/dime sets where he will be facing mostly. Also Pats tied him up in 2014 after the injury thinking they would tie him up for 2015. Didn't play in final pre-season game. He's in the plan.  Gushinghistory/story/narrative while watching his 40+ carry game. Pretty much every play went to him. https://www.youtube....h?v=muydhwHqxAg  A few highlights as a freshman. https://www.youtube....h?v=6HxvSzpKl48  recent film: 2TDs in pre-season, one split out wide receiving ... https://www.youtube....h?v=II9j1nAtBV8  one impressive power run inside for TD. http://www.nfl.com/v...-yard-touchdown  Nice one handed catch and run and juke: https://www.youtube....h?v=76tNBbfypZ4  and a last one showing off his shiftiness is not gone after injury. https://www.youtube....h?v=MXfR_fSoOZk  There is zero buzz on this guy, even his recent vids have only a handful of views. Definitely a last/late round pickup that has a great chance to pay off. I think he has a chance to take the vacated Vereen role to a new level if he can stay healthy.  P.S. Jonas Gray was waived to make more RB room so Lewis most likely made the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,315 Posted September 6, 2015 You basically described shane vereen who was never consistent with the team. Â This is a good point. Dion Lewis' ceiling is probably being as good as Vereen was last year. Which is basically a handful of decent games but good luck guessing which weeks they come in.

nobody 2,044 Posted September 10, 2015 I don't get this Dion Lewis situation. The guy disappeared for 2 years after he broke his leg before the 2013 season. Now he's supposed to start over James White and Travaris Cadet. Are White and Cadet that bad that a guy who literally hasn't played a game in 2 years can come in and beat them out for touches?

Beyond Chaos 75 Posted September 10, 2015 He is listed behind Bolden on their depth chart, but their depth chart lists a 2 RB set w/ 1) Blount, 2) White, 3)Cadet in the other RB slot.
