This past preseason, there was no man more hated among experts than Jamal Lewis. One nationally known fantasy powerhouse recommended against even drafting him in 12 team leagues (hint: it was not this site). Their cries were many: he just turned 30 (the magical age of decline), he has tons of mileage, he has a new rookie to compete with lighting up camp. There were even rumors that Jamal would be cut. In light of all of this there was little optimism regarding Jamal Lewis this season, let alone in week 1 matched up against the stout Minnesota run defense.
