Plays in every game in 16th season Lewis was targeted 28 times and caught 23 passes for 214 yards over 17 appearances in the 2021 season.

Impact Lewis has not been a fantasy factor for awhile, but he filled a steady role for the Packers in 2021, appearing in every game and serving as the team's top blocking tight end. The 16-year veteran signed a two-year contract with the Packers last month, so he figures to return to Green Bay for another go-around.

Vikings won't have CB Cameron Dantzler for Packers game

Cornerback Cameron Dantzler has joined the list of Minnesota Vikings unavailable for their Sunday night game with the Green Bay Packers

JANUARY 3, 2022 • Associated Press

Off COVID list Lewis was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and will be eligible to play Sunday against the Vikings.

Impact The veteran tight end has played at least 24 offensive snaps in seven of the last eight games and has accumulated 14 receptions for 106 yards during that stretch, so his absence would have been noteworthy. Instead, expect Lewis to reprise his role as a blocker extraordinaire with Josiah Deguara acting as the primary tight end.

Hits COVID list Lewis has landed on the Packers' reserve/COVID-19 list,

Impact Lewis apparently tested positive for the virus according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. In order for him to return to the Packers' Week 17 matchup with the Vikings he will need to clear the NFL's health and safety protocols. If he is unable to return, Tyler Davis and Dominique Dafney would be next in line at tight end behind Josiah Deguara.

Snap count declines Lewis was targeted three times and caught two passes for two yards in the Packers' 24-22 victory over the Browns in Week 16.

Impact After racking up at least 40 yards in back-to-back outings Lewis made only a blip in the box score in Week 16. Part of that may have been due to reduced opportunities, as his snap-count percentage declined from 50 to 41 percent. Lewis will have a chance to find the end zone in Week 17 against a Vikings team that allowed opposing tight ends to tally five touchdowns over its last six games, but with him taking a back seat to Josiah Deguara in Week 16 after splitting the work with him in the six games prior to that, his chances of helping those still alive in their fantasy leagues are slim.
