Dion Lewis probably activated Saturday (1 Viewer)

[themeistersinger]

Since the Patriots released Tyler Gaffney today and didn't add anybody the assumption is Dion Lewis will be activated some time on Saturday.  Anybody thinking of using him this week?

I'm rolling with David Johnson and Melvin Gordon so he's staying on my bench.  But kind of excited to see what he can do for my PPR league.

I wouldn't start him this week as first game back likely to be limited (see Gronk) but I do see him getting more involved next week and rest of season. Assume you meant David Johnson and Gordon, both much better starts.

Yeah way too risky vs a good def.  wait

For what it's worth - Bellchick could just be blowing smoke, or just trying to say nice things about White in public before unleashing Lewis.  I'e got both White and Lewis at the moment, but once Rawls gets active I'll have to drop one of those three (unless I get an injury elsewhere).
