Giants' Dion Lewis: Rings up 18 yards
Dion Lewis rushed once for four yards and caught both targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Browns.Lewis started the game with a bang, returning the opening kickoff for 48 yards and setting up a strong opening drive for the New York Giants. However, he logged just one touch before the fourth quarter, as he was largely left out of the offensive game plan while Wayne Gallman and Alfred Morris combined for 16 carries. With Devonta Freeman (ankle) designated to return from IR as well, Lewis faces long odds to garner meaningful reps in New York's backfield this year.

Giants' Dion Lewis: Scores team's lone TD of Week 14
Dion Lewis collected 14 yards and a touchdown on two carries, adding 84 yards on four kickoff returns while losing one fumble during Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Cardinals.Though Lewis punched in the New York Giants' only TD of the contest, his fumble on a second-quarter kickoff return cost New York dearly. Kyler Murray would connect with Dan Arnold for an Arizona TD four plays after the turnover en route to a 13-0 halftime lead. Lewis has taken back 15 of the Giants' 27 kickoff returns in 2020, though with his Week 14 gaffe, Darnay Holmes (knee), Darius Slayton and C.J. Board may garner more serious consideration in the role down the stretch. Lewis continues to take a back seat to Wayne Gallman in the running game, as New York prepares for a Week 15 Sunday night showdown against Cleveland.

Giants' Dion Lewis: Posts 17 scrimmage yards
Dion Lewis registered 10 rushing yards on two carries, adding a seven-yard reception during Sunday's 19-17 win against Cincinnati. He also registered 25 yards on a pair of kickoff returns.Alfred Morris ranked second in the RB pecking order with four carries behind Wayne Gallman's team high of 24. Lewis at least garnered some work on the ground after going without a carry in two of his three preceding outings entering Sunday. The 30-year-old received a total of 22 offensive snaps against Cincinnati, but he hasn't had more than five offensive touches in a game since Week 2. Lewis will remain a complementary option to Gallman when the New York Giants head West for a Week 13 matchup against the Seahawks' No. 3 rush defense.

Giants' Dion Lewis: Two catches, two returns in win
Dion Lewis secured both of his targets for 17 receiving yards, adding two kick returns for 35 yards during Sunday's 27-17 win against Philadelphia.Against the team that drafted him with a fifth-round selection in 2011, Lewis took a back seat in the running game as Wayne Gallman (18 carries), Alfred Morris (eight) and Elijhaa Penny (one) split the RB rush attempts. Gallman has handled 12-plus carries each of the past three weeks while racking up 165 rushing yards and four rushing scores. During the same span, Lewis has just three carries for five yards, doing most of his damage as a pass-catcher with six receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown against Tampa Bay, Washington and Philadelphia. Lewis and the New York Giants now head into a Week 11 bye before facing Cincinnati on Nov. 29.

He finished with just 17 of 77 offensive snaps (19 percent). Lewis has been able to carve out a role as the team's kick returner, but his backfield duties have diminished and likely will take another hit once Devonta Freeman (ankle) returns to action.
