Dion Lewis, RB, Tennessee Titans

Price: $5,500

Dion Lewis may be coming off a dud of a Week 5, but his role and volume still leave him offering plenty of value.

He remains the clear lead back in Tennessee, having played at least 60% of the snaps in each of the last two games, while Derrick Henry didn't hit 40% in either. On the season, Lewis holds a 22% edge (62% to 40%) over Henry.

Lewis also saw 16 opportunities (targets plus rush attempts) in Week 5, which were his most since Week 1. He's averaging 16.0 per game on the season, and that workload is hard not to like at this price-point.

The Titans' offense is not in an exciting spot against a stout Baltimore Ravens defense this week, but with no overwhelming value at running back on the main slate, there's not room to be overly picky. If you need to save cap space at the position, you're better off gambling on a bad matchup than on a low-volume player, leaving Lewis as a very appealing play.
