ESPN Analyst Adam Schefter is reporting that New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis is expected to play in Sunday night's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Lewis has been dealing with an abdominal injury, but was able to practice in a limited fashion this week.
Lewis was surprisingly listed on the Patriots' injury report during Thursday's practice, but it appears as if he's ready to go for Sunday night's game in Indianapolis. The Patriots would love to have Lewis back, as he's had a terrific year so far and has established himself as a threat both carrying and receiving the football. Lewis does give up some goal -ine carries to teammate LeGarrette Blount, but he generally receives more touches throughout the game.
If you own Lewis in fantasy, you have to play him in a favorable matchup against the Colts. As history shows us, the Patriots always seem to have the Colts' number, and I don't expect that to be any different Sunday night. Look for multiple Patriots to have huge games against the Colts, including Dion Lewis.
