Dion Lewis, Tennessee Titans at Dallas Cowboys

For years, Dion Lewis has been one of the most exciting players in the NFL to watch in open space, because he is able to pull off some of the most jaw-dropping jukes. Lewis is a real weapon in the passing game, and the Tennessee Titans are finally figuring out just how dominant he can be when he gets the ball in space.

Marcus Mariota and the Titans offense have struggled mightily with consistency this season, and most of that can be attributed to the uneven play of the wide receivers. Lewis looked like the Titans best player on offense in Week 8, breaking out for 91 rushing yards and 64 receiving yards in what was one of the best performances of the week.

Although Lewis doesn’t offer much touchdown upside, he has legitimate star talent and has produced whenever the Titans have actually given him the rock. He had 110 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in Week 1 before the Titans foolishly forgot about him after a dud against the Houston Texans in Week 2, but he looks to be back on track after dicing up the Los Angeles Chargers, who have always been shoddy against running backs.

Lewis gets the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 9, and it is doubtful that they’ll quiet the former New England Patriots standout.
