Jamal Lewis in Primetime Thursday Night F'ball... (1 Viewer)

He might rip off 200 yards.

DJ Williams is hurt now...Marlon McCree also last week....the defence is a mess....injuries everywhere...Quinn starting they will likely pound Lewis a lot and try and get Quinn comfortable.

 
I hope so, drafted the guy in the late 2nd round and have only started him like 2 weeks. He's getting the nod over MJD vs Det this week.

 
I hope so this is going to be only the 2nd time that I have started J. lewis

the other was vs. Cinn....whiched worked out; he had bout 90 and a TD!

I also hav Culter and Marshell....im not starting torrain just yet, he has to show me something!

Dude has barely sniffed 100 this season and you expect 200?

actually yes.DJ Williams is the Broncos best tackler.
 
I'll be trotting JLew out and hoping for 100 yards and a TD. I'm thinking that as long as Denver doesn't run out on them........Lewis gets close to 25 carries.

 
He should have a good game, but OG Eric Steinbach plus FB Lawrence Vickers haven't been practicing and could miss the game.

Have you seen the Denver defense this year? Sammy Morris looked like an all-pro against them.

I would love to see tippy toes go for 2 bills. I don't think he can get more than 100 on anybody unless he was in a golf cart. Hope I am wrong though.

I want to put Lewis in, I really do. I just can't pull the trigger on him over Chris Johnson.
I'm having the same issue. But should I start him over Lynch. Lynch and the Bills in general have been struggling lately. Tough call.
 
Quick strategy question, not to hijack but:

If you were facing a team who's biggest threat was Jamal Lewis, would you pick up someone like Jamie Winborn to tackle him repeatedly? Winborn hasn't put up many tackles, but now with DJ Williams out, that should change. Is it worth going that direction over a more proven commodity against some other random team?

I was thinking the same thing. You would have to think the Denver defense will continue to get a large amount of tackle opps since they can't seem to get off the field. I think Winborn would be a decent IDP option (LB2 or 3) in tackle heavy larger leagues this week.

Currently I have Stewart Bradley vs. NYG based on this weeks rankings. Winborn is WAY down the list. But for my specific matchup I'm thinking I could negate Jamal a bit if he goes nuts.

How did that 200 yard game by tippy toes work for you?

I'll take 80 total yds and a TD just fine thank you.

I would have agreed with you BEFORE the game started, but I must confess, I was a little disappointed with the final numbers after the first quarter he had...... what was it...nearly 50 yds in the first and a goal line opportunity in the first quarter?
 
I am a Lewis owner and I am happy with the 80 and 1 but after watching the game I think Cleveland needs to do what AZ did. Start the quicker younger back (Harrison).

I am a Lewis owner in 3 leagues and had him in a 4th. I own Harrison in all 4 leagues and last night he should be the starter with Tippy Toes being maybe the goalline back. Hard for me to understand why they let him keep starting. Lewis starting has to be a "what we pay him issue".
