The Patriots got Dion Lewis back from IR two weeks ago, and he’s starting to get more work despite still sharing time in the crowded backfield. He has enough upside to be an nice add from the waiver wire this week.

Lewis got ten touches this week against the Jets running for 24 yards on his six carries and added 34 more yards on four receptions. He hasn’t gotten into the end zone yet this year, but that could change in the coming weeks as he works back into his spot in the rotation.

Lewis doesn’t have a super-high ceiling since he’s sharing time with LeGarrette Blount and James White, but he is stepping back into his role as a receiver out of the backfield. He’s a high-risk play at your flex spot but he should get enough touches to give you solid yardage totals even in tough matchups against the Rams, Ravens, and Broncos the next three weeks.

Next: Is he the No. 1 RB for his team?
