The New York Giants released wide receiver Roger Lewis on Saturday, according to a source. He was third on the team last year with 416 receiving yards and at times was the team's top wideout with Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard injured.
New York Giants wide receiver Roger Lewis (ankle) was limited all week in practice and has been taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Redskins. With receivers Sterling Shepard (neck) and Tavarres King (concussion) and tight end Evan Engram (ribs) all ruled out this weekend, Lewis will act as quarterback Eli Manning's No. 1 target, which could be useful to owners in deep leagues. Lewis has seen double-digit targets in each of the last three games, and he has 15 catches for 160 yards to show for it.
New York Giants wide receiver Roger Lewis (ankle) was limited for the second straight day in practice on Thursday. He seems destined to play in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Redskins, and he may be quarterback Eli Manning's No. 1 target if receiver Sterling Shepard (neck) and tight end Evan Engram (ribs) are inactive. In that case, Lewis would be in play as a flex option in deeper leagues.
New York Giants wide receiver Roger Lewis is expected to see double-digit targets in his Week 17 matchup against Washington. Lewis has seen at least 10 targets in each of the last three games with at least four catches in each of those outings. Lewis is one of the last healthy options for the Giants in their matchup against the Redskins. He can be considered a flex option in PPR formats for Week 17. Receiver Sterling Shepard (neck) and tight end Evan Engram (ribs) are currently on the wrong side of questionable.
New York Giants wide receiver Roger Lewis (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday. Lewis should be fine to play in the season finale against the Redskins, and he may be New York's top wideout with receivers Sterling Shepard (neck) and Tavarres King (concussion) and tight end Evan Engram (ribs) all injured. Lewis has had a whopping 32 targets in the last three weeks, but he's only managed to reel in 15 of those over that span. He'll have upside if he's the top wideout option in Week 17, but even then he's a risky WR4/flex in deeper leagues.
Roger Lewis, Travis Rudolph Questionable Against Eagles
New York Giants wide receivers Roger Lewis (ankle) and Travis Rudolph (hamstring) were both limited in practice Friday and are questionable for Week 15 against the Eagles. While both Lewis and Rudolph should play barring setbacks, neither is particularly attractive for starting lineups outside of the deepest of leagues. With a trip to the fantasy championship on the line, it's extremely hard to trust any member of New York's offense.
