The Facts:
Five games into the season, Chester Taylor has produced 5.8 yards per carry, nearly doubling Lewis' 3.0-yard average. Despite the disparity in numbers, Brian Billick reiterated yesterday that Lewis will remain his workhorse back, saying it was not a "priority" to get Taylor more carries.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Billick's vote of confidence aside this marks the worst start of Lewis' six-year career. He has managed just 292 yards in five games, an average of 58.4 yards (26th in the NFL) and Fantasy owners should not feel obligated to duplicating Billick's loyalty to Lewis.
