Dion Lewis, RB, New England Patriots

DraftKings Price: $4,800

Dion Lewis has risen to fantasy prominence in the past few weeks after taking a back seat to Mike Gillislee through the first five weeks this season. However, Gillislee fumbled in Week 6, and if there is one thing New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick hates, it's fumblers.

Since that week, Lewis has had at least 11 touches in each game and has found the end zone three times. His touches could go up even more as Rex Burkhead decided to join the fumble committee last week. Not surprisingly, Lewis was more involved in the passing game after that, catching a season-high four passes against the Oakland Raiders.

His opponent this week is the Miami Dolphins, who have been decent against the run this season -- they rank 19th by our metrics. Miami is a massive 16.5-point underdog, though. New England should build a big lead early and give more touches to running backs in the second half. Lewis could see at least 15 touches and has one of the safer floors amongst sub-$5,000 running backs.
