Lewis hauled in a one-yard touchdown in the Bears' 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
On the season, Lewis has posted four catches for 29 yards and a touchdown. The veteran tight end has seen significant snaps all season as a blocker, but it's likely that he continue to see limited targets.

Lewis caught his lone target for eight yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis is a blocking specialist who saw his first target of the season. It's unlikely he earns a regular role as a receiver unless his role changes.

Lewis is signing with the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eugene Frenette of jacksonville.com notes that the 39-year-old will set an NFL record for most seasons played by a tight end (18) if he ends up playing any regular-season games in 2023. That's presumably what will happen, though Lewis doesn't figure to catch many passes in an offense that already has Cole Kmet and former Packers teammate Robert Tonyan at tight end. Lewis caught 57 passes in 81 games with Green Bay over the past five seasons, mostly serving as a blocker in heavy formations.

Lewis was targeted seven times and caught six passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns over 17 appearances in the 2022 season.
EDGE Analysis
The 38-year-old made little fantasy impact in his 17th season, but he did play at least 41 percent of offensive snaps for a fourth year in a row. Lewis remains a trusty blocker at the tight end position, and if he elects to continue playing, the free agent will likely land a roster spot in Green Bay or elsewhere.

Lewis caught both his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
While he didn't see big volume, the veteran tight end made a huge impact for the Packers. Lewis' first catch gave Green Bay its first TD of the day on a one-yard strike from Aaron Rodgers, while his second reception went for 31 yards and set the team up in the red zone for an eventual AJ Dillon one-yard scoring plunge. Lewis has two touchdowns on the season -- the 10th time in his 17-year career he's scored multiple TDs -- but this was the first time in 2022 he's seen more than one target in a game.

Lewis was targeted once and caught one pass for 14 yards in Monday's 24-12 victory over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis played at least 41 percent of the snaps for a second straight game and caught his first pass since Week 10. He has a plus matchup in Week 16 against the Dolphins, but with just four receptions and 34 yards on the season, there is little reason to believe he will do enough to make a fantasy impact.

Lewis caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The reception was the first for Lewis in 2022, and the touchdown was his first since Week 12 of the 2020 season. The veteran led Packers tight ends in snaps Week 5, but with blocking being his primary purpose on the field, his fantasy appeal remains limited.

Lewis doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis didn't practice Thursday and was limited Wednesday and Friday, but the veteran tight end will still be available for Week 4. The 2006 first-round pick has yet to be targeted this season despite playing over 35 percent of the team's offensive snaps in each of the first three games.
