Jourdan Lewis

28-Year-Old CornerbackCB
Dallas Cowboys
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The 27-year-old cornerback played only six games in 2022 due to a Lisfranc injury, and in his absence DaRon Bland emerged as a prolific ballhawk in the slot role. Lewis is no slouch himself, racking up a career-high 61 tackles and 11 passes defended in 2021, and he should be fully recovered by Week 1. With free agent Stephon Gilmore also joining the Cowboys' secondary in the offseason though, Lewis isn't guaranteed a big role this season. Read Past Outlooks

Gets new deal
CBDallas Cowboys
March 14, 2024
Lewis re-signed with the Cowboys on a one-year contract Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Lewis officially became a free agent Wednesday, but it took less than 24 hours for the Michigan product to re-up with his old team. Selected in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Lewis has spent all seven seasons of his career with Dallas and is now set to remain with the Cowboys for at least an eighth season. The 28-year-old bounced back in 2023 from an injury-shortened 2022 campaign due to a Lisfranc injury to record 52 tackles (36 solo), five pass breakups, one interception, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Moves to No. 3 corner role
CBDallas Cowboys
September 23, 2023
Following the season-ending knee injury to Trevon Diggs on Thursday, Lewis is expected to see more action as the slot cornerback behind Stephon Gilmore and DaRon Bland, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lewis' 2022 season ended abruptly in Week 7 after he sustained a Lisfranc injury that required surgery in October. He was placed on the PUP list to start training camp but was activated Aug. 30. Lewis made his 2023 debut against the Jets in Week 2, when he played 10 defensive snaps that included a forced third-down incompletion on a Zach Wilson throw to Randall Cobb. It's unclear whether Lewis will continue to operate on a snap count in Week 3 against the Cardinals or whether the absence of Diggs will force the Cowboys to play him more.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2018
Lewis posted career highs with three interceptions and 11 passes defended last year while topping 50 tackles for the fourth time in five NFL seasons. The slot corner has remained a dependable part of the Cowboys secondary through multiple schemes and coordinators. With the team having not brought in significant reinforcements at cornerback in the offseason, Lewis' spot appears secure.
Lewis had another solid season in 2020, recording a career-high 59 tackles and two sacks in 15 games. He has the ability to handle assignments outside or in the slot and also has a knack for blitzing, giving him a secure spot in the secondary even after the addition of Kelvin Joseph in the second round of the 2021 Draft. Lewis may not have the pure ceiling to be an IDP asset, but he can help return the Dallas defense as a whole to respectability.
Lewis reclaimed a larger role in the Cowboys defense last year, and the 2017 third-round pick displayed his big-play ability by recording a career-high four sacks and two picks. While he doesn't have ideal size for a modern NFL corner, his quickness and aggressiveness still allow him to be effective in the slot. The Dallas secondary will look very different this season without Byron Jones, but the more turnover-focused scheme being brought in by new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan could prove to be a perfect fit for Lewis' skill set.
After being taken in the third round of the 2017 draft, Lewis more than held his own as a rookie, recording 54 tackles and an interception while splitting time between the outside and slot corner. Byron Jones' shift from safety likely locks Lewis into the latter role in 2018, but the Michigan product has shown the lateral quickness to handle the assignment'. His IDP ceiling is limited, but he should provide consistent snaps for a young and improving defense.
