Lewis (abdomen) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Lewis is out there if you need him Thursday night, and even though the bruising LeGarrette Blount is also in the Patriots' backfield mix, Lewis' role in Patriots' offense, particular in the passing game, appears firmly established, so long as he is not limited by his abdominal issue. As a result, in his return to action this week, Lewis still holds fantasy utility in Week 8, particularly in PPR formats.
