Lewis (knee) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice session.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old tight end collected his first TD catch of the season while playing 32 percent of the offensive snaps during Sunday night's win against the Saints, and there was no report shared during the game that would indicate an injury to Lewis. He's popped up on the injury report for Green Bay's first practice of the week, as the team prepares for a Monday night matchup against a Falcons defense that has so far this season surrendered the third-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends.

Lewis was targeted twice and finished with one reception for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-30 victory over the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis found himself in the right place at the right time when Aaron Rodgers scrambled out of the pocket in the third quarter, and he was able to find paydirt for the first time this season. He's started all three games the Packers have played, but he's been targeted only three times and was on the field for just 20 of the 62 plays Green Bay ran Sunday. Robert Tonyan is the tight end to target if you're looking to scoop up a Packers tight end.

Lewis had one reception for four yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis started for the second time in as many weeks, and although he made more of an impact than he did in Week 1 he still barely registered in the box score. Lewis has played 43 percent of the snaps through two weeks and should continue filling a regular role, but with just one target thus far the veteran is not active enough in the passing game to draw interest from fantasy players.

Lewis was credited with the start in Sunday's victory over the Vikings but was not targeted in the game.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis sits atop his position on the Packers' depth chart, but he finished second to Robert Tonyan in snaps played and was limited to blocking duty in the season opener. The veteran should continue drawing starts but presumably will remain a complementary player in the offense.

Lewis is listed as the starting tight end on the unofficial depth chart released by the Packers on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers have four tight ends who could see the field, but the veteran Lewis gets the honor of opening the 2020 campaign atop the depth chart. Lewis was credited with 11 starts a year ago but caught only 15 passes, so don't assume his standing means he will play a fantasy-friendly role. He does figure to see plenty of snaps, though, given his run-blocking prowess.

Lewis signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Packers on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis was on the open market for a few hours, but he's decided to stick with the Packers for a third straight year. The 35-year-old tight end finished with 15 receptions for 156 yards and a touchdown in 2019. With Jimmy Graham gone for Chicago, Lewis is the placeholder for the No. 1 tight end role for the time being. He'll likely face competition from Jace Sternberger and Robert Tonyan throughout the offseason program and training camp, and the Packers will likely address the need with another free-agent pickup or draft acquisition.

Lewis, who caught 15 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season games in 2019, relayed that he wants to continue playing and would like to stick in Green Bay, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis hauled in two passes for 14 yards in the NFC Championship Game loss to the 49ers as well. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent in March, and he'll turn 36 years old in May. The veteran tight end said he felt like he found his groove in head coach Matt LaFleur's offense. While Lewis won't have a big pass-catching role at this age, the Packers could benefit from re-signing him if they decide to cut Jimmy Graham, which would save nearly $9 million against the cap.

Lewis was targeted once and caught one pass for two yards in Monday's victory over the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis played as many snaps as fellow tight end Jimmy Graham in Week 16, but he finished with one reception and a single digit in the receiving yards column for the fourth week in a row. He'll continue seeing plenty of time on the field, but figures to remain a complementary piece in the Packers' offense.

Lewis led Packers tight ends with 32 snaps and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Lewis and Jimmy Graham were both credited with a start Week 15, and the former ended up playing more snaps than the latter and any other Packers tight end for the second week in a row. While Lewis is spending more time on the field, the increase in plays has not led to any notable change in his output: he totaled two receptions for 11 yards over the last two weeks. Graham remains the top pass-catching option among Green Bay's tight ends.

Lewis was targeted twice and caught a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, via Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, spoke recently about his desire to add Lewis to the list of players he has thrown a touchdown pass to, and he did just that Week 13, connecting with Lewis in the end zone for the first time since Lewis joined the Packers in 2018. The touchdown was Lewis' only reception over the last four games, so fantasy players should not expect much from him Week 14, even against a Washington defense that has struggled with opposing tight ends of late.
