The Facts:
It appears as if the Ravens are leaning toward placing the franchise tag on Lewis, although the team declined to reveal its intent Monday. The Ravens have until Thursday's deadline to officially announce whether to use the tag on their all-time leading rusher or let him become an unrestricted free agent.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
One indication that the Ravens might be planning to keep Lewis is their failure to negotiate with Chester Taylor, who will become a free agent March 3 (and who seems to be interested in joining the Panthers). If the Ravens don't franchise Lewis or re-sign Taylor, they would have to pursue an expensive free-agent running back such as Shaun Alexander, Edgerrin James, DeShaun Foster or Ahman Green.
