NE - RB Dion Lewis placed on IR

New England Patriots RB Dion Lewis (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Nov. 9. Lewis is out for the year with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Rough way for Lewis to end his season. When he returns, Lewis could compete as a reserve runner for the Patriots. His status for the start of next year is in question as he'll have only about 10 months to heal before training camp starts. Lewis is under contract through 2017, and he's got a $1 million cap number (with only $400,000 in dead money) in 2016.

New York Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (thumb) could have surgery but 'may not be out' for the following game against the Houston Texans, according to head coach Todd Bowles.

The Jets play on Thursday night, so Fitzpatrick would have 10 days to rest before playing against the Texans in Week 11. Reports indicate this injury could take three months to fully recover from. Fitzpatrick should be able to play through this recovery with a brace similar to the one he wore in Week 9 against the Jaguars.

NE - RB James White to replace RB Dion Lewis?

New England Patriots RB James White is the top candidate to replace RB Dion Lewis (knee) as the Patriots' passing down running back, according to ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss. RB Brandon Bolden will also be in the mix, and played well replacing Lewis in Week 9.

White has been a player who has impressed in training camp, but he's never translated that to the field in the regular season. Bolden is the asset to add here off the waiver wire, but in deeper leagues White is worth a speculative stash.

NE - Pats backfield to remain committee approach

Source: NFL.com - Chris Wesseling

New England Patriots RB LeGarrett Blount's role will certainly increase with RB Dion Lewis (knee) out for the year, but the Patriots will remain a committee attack based on matchups and game situations. RB Brandon Bolden took over the pass-catching duties when Lewis was hurt in Week 9, but RB James White is closer to replicating Lewis' role when the game calls for an up-tempo attack. White was a healthy scratch in Week 9. White played 43 snaps to RB LeGarrette Blount's eight and Bolden's zero in Week 7 when Lewis was hurt.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Zero surprise here. The Patriots are going into each week with a unique gameplan. Some weeks, Blount will be the battering ram who gets the most fantasy points. Other times, the team could turn to change-of-pace guys like White or Bolden. Moving forward without Lewis, we see Blount as a RB2 and the other two backs are more of "what the heck" flex plays until we see a pecking order established behind Blount.

James Starks is going to get the majority of the carries in this weekend's game and we see Stark as a borderline RB1/RB2. Lacy may get the whole week off, but if he plays we could see him as a potential RB3. If Jones can play we have him slotted as a WR3 but buyer beware—he's stunk up the joint along with the rest of the offense over the last two weeks.

Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (groin) is day-to-day with a tweaked groin, according to head coach John Fox. Jeffery has reached 100 yards receiving in each of the last three games. He was seen walking through the locker room without a limp Thursday, Nov. 12, despite missing practice. The Bears are hopeful he can bounce back and play in Week 10 against the St. Louis Rams.

We're not sure what to expect from Forte. The Bears have little to no hope of competing for the playoffs and almost might as well rest Forte until he's 100 percent while they see what Jeremy Langford is fully capable of. Langford is a decent RB2 if he is the lead back. We think he'd get carries even if Forte plays, which would hurt both their chances of producing good points though.

Manning isn't very mobile anyway, so this doesn't make a big difference save they might not use many of those roll-outs and bootlegs we've been amused by for a few weeks. The offense is shaky despite the game they had against the Green Bay Packers a couple of weeks back—we know they'll score some points but Manning is prone to turnovers and long periods of underwhelming play in the game, balanced with some outstanding series. We have him as a QB2 this week against Kansas City and mark this as a fascinating game to watch given they are coming off a huge loss.

Edelman has been pretty consistent in terms of fantasy production with three touchdowns over the last two games and four over the last four (Week 7 against the Jets the one time he missed the end zone).

DET - RB Ameer Abdullah not in doghouse

Source: Detroit Free Press - Dave Birkett

Detroit Lions RB Ameer Abdullah's diminished role in recent weeks has been a product of game situations and not because of the fumbling problems that he's had in his rookie season. 'Every game's a little different, and I think some games you'll see him with the ball in his hands a little bit more, some games (you'll see) Joique Bell and Theo Riddick,' head coach Jim Caldwell said. 'I think you'll see them carry it some as well. So it just kind of depends on the ball game as to how we approach it.' Abdullah had a season-low five snaps in the Week 8 game against the Kansas City Chiefs and finished with one carry for only three yards. He has only 201 yards and four fumbles since his 24-yard touchdown run on his first carry in Week 1.

Montgomery's game is all about run-after-the-catch ability. If he's not capable of cutting without losing speed, then the team may decide to shut him down. The Packers have had two rough weeks (Broncos, Panthers), but we feel like their offense is going to bounce back against the hapless Lions in Week 10.

CHI - RB Matt Forte will not rush back

Source: ESPNChicago.com - Jeff Dickerson

Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte (knee) said his knee is feeling better but that he will not rush back because he could do more damage to the knee if it is not healed.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The team doesn't need to rush him back with the way that rookie Jeremy Langford is playing. This week against the Rams, we like Langford as a RB2 with upside.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (foot) came off the bench to replace QB Landry Jones (leg) and finished with 379 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in a 30-9 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 10.

Roethlisberger was in very few lineups, but everyone who owns him has to be heartened by his huge game and better than expected health heading into the bye. The Steelers offense is finally starting to come together despite some crushing injury blows this year.

Carr had to deal with the wind and a tough Vikings defense, but he scratched out yet another multi-touchdown game. He'll be a low QB1 play against a Detroit defense that just frustrated Aaron Rodgers.

Peterson capped off the win with an 80 yard touchdown run, and the 30-year-old appears to be getting stronger as the season goes on. Next week he and the Vikings will have a chance to open up a two-game lead on the Packers at home.
