Small role in loss Lewis had only one carry for 10 yards and two catches on three targets for eight yards against the Rams Sunday.

Impact Lewis saw 21 total offensive snaps, but ceded most of the touches to Wayne Gallman and Devonta Freeman. Lewis will stay in the mix, but his ceiling is non-existent.

QB Jones leads Giants' running game without injured Saquon

Quarterback Daniel Jones has been the New York Giants’ running game this season, even before star halfback Saquon Barkley was lost for the season with a knee injury

Modest output in low-end committee Lewis had just one carry for no yards and caught one of his three targets for 10 yards against the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact The Giants have arguably the worst running game in the league, and Lewis is sharing snaps/carries/catches with Wayne Gallman and Devonta Freeman. Lewis led the committee in snaps with 20, but even if he were to get more run this week in Los Angeles against the Rams, the ceiling is pretty low.

Joined by Freeman in backfield Lewis is facing competition in the backfield from Devonta Freeman, who signed a one-year contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Lewis finished this past Sunday's loss to the 49ers as the lead running back after Saquon Barkley exited with a torn ACL, but the Giants opted to bring in reinforcements via free agency. Freeman inked a $3 million deal Tuesday and could eventually lead the backfield in touches, although the Giants may utilize a committee approach at first to ease him in.

Opportunity knocks Lewis rushed 10 times for 20 yards and a touchdown and caught four of five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.

Impact Starting RB Saquon Barkley went down in the first half, and the Giants fear he may have torn his ACL. That left Lewis as the team's only healthy RB, so he handled a decent workload the rest of the way. While he wasn't very efficient on the ground, Lewis is better known as a pass-catcher, and he excelled in that area Sunday. Moving forward, if Barkley is indeed out for the season, Lewis will be the de facto RB1, although the team may check out the free agent market as well.

Limited usage in opener Lewis picked up one yard on his lone rush attempt during Monday's 26-16 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact The Giants could get absolutely nothing going on the ground, as the Steelers' front seven contained the G-Men to a putrid 29 team rushing yards on 20 attempts. Saquon Barkley predictably dominated the workload by garnering 21 of 23 running back touches for New York, while Lewis and fellow backup Wayne Gallman scarcely saw the field. Lewis ended up with six offensive snaps in total Week 1, but he will now shift his focus to an upcoming Sunday afternoon matchup against the Bears.

Likely backup pass-catching RB Lewis is projected to serve as the Giants' top backup to starting running back Saquon Barkley on passing downs, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.

Impact Should anything happen to Barkley, Wayne Gallman would also likely see work, factoring in mainly on running downs. As a result, there's limited fantasy upside for Lewis, even compared to most other backup running backs around the NFL.
