Lewis was on the field for six of the Patriots' 81 snaps on offense in Thursday's 42-27 loss to the Chiefs, per ESPN's Mike Reiss. In the process, he carried two times for nine yards and ran back three kickoffs for 49 yards.

Meanwhile, James White recorded 43 snaps and 10 carries for 38 yards, while Mike Gillislee was on the field for 24 snaps -- logging a team-high 15 carries for 45 yards and and three TDs -- with Rex Burkhead drawing 10 snaps and three carries. For now, it looks like Lewis slots in as a complementary cog in the New England attack, as White appears to be the team's preferred option in the passing game, while Gillislee profiles as the Patriots' top power back. Given the team's game-plan/game-flow dependent approach, there could be weeks in which Lewis sees more touches, but until we actually see that happen, he'll be a fantasy roll of the dice.
