Patriots RB Dion Lewis needs second surgery, will miss two months

New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis will require a second surgery to repair a torn ACL he suffered last November. It is expected he will be able to return after 8 to 10 weeks.

Fantasy Analysis:

This is a big setback to the Pats' offense. They'll already be without Tom Brady for the first four weeks of the season and now will be without their "top" RB. James White is the biggest Fantasy beneficiary. Fantasy owners shouldn't get too overzealous in drafting White though because New England will still play to their opponents' weaknesses by playing the matchups.
