Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Week 16 Predictions

Sit: Dion Lewis, New England Patriots

---

Opponent: vs. New York Jets

---

After receiving 8, 10, 9 and 4 touches in his first four games back from injury, Lewis exploded for 104 yards on 20 touches (18 carries, two receptions) against the Broncos on Sunday. He's clearly capable of producing when given a significant workload, so there will be a temptation to start him given what he did last week. But Bill Belichick's RB rotation is extremely difficult to project, and when the Pats played the Jets in Week 11, LeGarrette Blount played 37.0 percent of the snaps, James White played 35.6 and Lewis played 31.5. At the most important time of the year for fantasy football players, it's hard to be confident in Lewis' role. (Getty)
