Analysis: Lewis also hurt his right shoulder during a preseason game against St. Louis and missed the first part of the regular season. He is not expected to be a major Fantasy contributor regardless of his health status and should be left on waivers in all formats for now.

Unfortunately, Lewis doesn't yet make enough tackles to really be a consistent Fantasy option in IDP formats.

Analysis: Lewis' ankle injury apparently is feeling much better and he will now play on Monday night. The 23-year-old was turned in one of his better efforts in last week's win over the Raiders and has racked up 26 tackles and two interceptions thus far. Lewis can be considered a low-end option in deeper IDP formats against Kansas City.

Analysis: Lewis returned an interception 59 yards for a touchdown in the contest and was able to return and finish out the game. It looks as though he should be able to play on Monday night so continue to view him as a low-end Fantasy DB in IDP formats.

Lewis, who returned an interception 59 yards for a touchdown, briefly left the contest due to his injury, but was able to return and finish out the game. Lewis has 26 tackles to go along with a pair of interceptions this season.
Analysis: Lewis apparently tweaked his ankle pretty good on Sunday, although he appeared he is hoping to be able to play next week against the Chargers. The good news is the game is on Monday night, which will give the 25-year-old an extra day of rest. However, he will almost certainly end up on the injury report, so Fantasy owners will have to monitor his status moving forward. Lewis can be considered a low-end Fantasy DB, when healthy.
News: Chiefs DB Kendrick Lewis registered his second interception of the season in Week 7 against the Raiders. Lewis picked up Kyle Boller on his first pass attempt of the game and returned in 59 yards for a touchdown. “He thought he had the out route wide open. I baited him into it. I knew that he was going there, and I just drove on it and made a play," Lewis said.
Analysis: Lewis turned in a big game on Sunday, but has been a bit inconsistent this season. The 23-year-old usually doesn't rack up enough stats to be worth starting most weeks, so leave him on the waiver wire heading into Week 8 against the Chargers.

News: The Chiefs announced the signing of fifth-round choice Kendrick Lewis, a free safety out of Mississippi to a three-year deal. Lewis has a chance to receive significant playing time as he spent a lot of time with the No. 1 defense playing next to first-round pick Eric Berry this spring.
Analysis: Lewis saw so much time because free safety Jarrad Page held out of camp. If Page is moved this summer, then the door is open for Lewis to be considered for Fantasy play. Until then, don't expect much from him. He's worth a pick in rookie-only drafts late.
News: The Chiefs drafted safety Kendrick Lewis in the fifth round of the NFL Draft at No. 142 overall. Lewis is the second safety drafted by the Chiefs this year along with first-round pick Eric Berry.
Analysis: Lewis will likely see time on special teams and in nickel and dime packages for the Chiefs. He has minimal Fantasy value and is not worth drafting in the majority of leagues this season.
