Stevenson rushed six times for 54 yards and caught five of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Stevenson was far more effective than Damien Harris (13 carries for 48 yards), yet Harris got more rushing attempts in this must-win game. New England was eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. Stevenson's success in a workhorse role while Harris was out helped the second-year running back post 1,040 rushing yards and 421 receiving yards, along with six scrimmage touchdowns on 279 touches. Harris is set to be a free agent in 2023, so Stevenson could be in line for a substantial bump in usage.

Stevenson rushed eight times for 42 yards and brought in two of four targets for nine yards in the Patriots' 23-21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Stevenson paced the Patriots' backfield in rushing yards on the afternoon, but returning position mate Damien Harris outpaced him by one carry, and more surprisingly, one catch as well. Stevenson is slated to work in a timeshare with Harris again in a key Week 18 divisional road matchup against the Bills that will help decide New England's playoff fate.
Jan 1, 2023 2:59 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Stevenson approached the contest listed as questionable after practicing in a limited fashion this past week, but he'll continue to play through an ankle issue he's managed over the last couple of games and is thus in line to maintain his key role in the Patriots' backfield versus Miami. While the 6-foot, 230-pounder could lose some touches to Damien Harris (who is back in the mix Sunday following a four-game absence), barring any in-game setbacks Stevenson should still log enough carries and targets to retain fantasy utility in Week 17.
Jan 1, 2023 8:41 AM EST
Stevenson (ankle) is in line to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Stevenson has been tending to an ankle injury since a Week 14 win at Arizona, but he continued to lead the Patriots backfield the last two contests en route to 36 touches for 201 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD. This week, he was limited in practice Wednesday through Friday and was tagged as questionable for Week 17 action, but it appears as if he'll be available Sunday for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's active, Stevenson will be welcoming back fellow RB Damien Harris (thigh/personal), who has missed the past four outings.
Dec 31, 2022 8:09 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: We'd be surprised if Stevenson sat out Sunday's game, though his status is still worth tracking ahead of New England's 1:00 ET kickoff. Assuming he's able to play, Stevenson would figure to continue to handle a key role in the Patriots' Week 17 backfield, though he could lose some touches to Damien Harris (thigh/personal), who is set to return to from a four-game absence this weekend.
Dec 30, 2022 1:26 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow running back Damien Harris, who has been limited at practice of late due to a thigh issue, missed Thursday's session due to a personal matter. Friday's injury report will reveal added context with regard to the duo's status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but chances are that both Stevenson and Harris end up officially listed as 'questionable' for Week 17 action.
Dec 29, 2022 2:18 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: As was fellow running back Damien Harris (thigh), but given that Stevenson has been able to play through his ankle issue of late, we suspect that his Wednesday limitations were maintenance-related. Harris, on the other hand, hasn't seen game action since Week 12. While we'd be surprised if Stevenson misses Sunday's game against the Dolphins, there's a pretty decent chance he'll head into the weekend with a Week 17 injury designation.
Dec 28, 2022 2:08 PM EST
Stevenson rushed 13 times for 30 yards and brought in two of five targets for three yards in the Patriots' 22-18 loss to the Bengals on Saturday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Stevenson overcome his questionable designation due to an ankle injury, but he ultimately came up small for both the Patriots and fantasy managers in a critical spot. Stevenson was stymied by the Bengals' tough run defense consistently, and his fumble on Cincinnati's eight-yard line with under a minute remaining helped make New England's ultimately unsuccessful comeback attempt that much more difficult. Stevenson could be rejoined by backfield mate Damien Harris (thigh) for a Week 17 home matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Jan. 1, which would dampen his overall fantasy prospects.
Dec 24, 2022 2:24 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Stevenson was listed as questionable ahead of this past Sunday's loss to the Raiders but suited up and recorded 19 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown and two catches for minus-4 yards. He'll continue to play through his ankle issue Saturday, and barring any in-game setbacks, he'll continue to log the bulk of the work in a New England backfield that's still without Damien Harris (thigh), with rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris available provide support.
Dec 24, 2022 8:51 AM EST
Stevenson (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bengals, is likely to play in the contest, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: While Stevenson appears to be trending toward being available in Week 16, Rapoport adds that Damien Harris (thigh) is viewed as more of a game-time decision. Either way, the status of the two running backs will be determined before the first wave of games Saturday, with the Patriots kicking off at 1:00 ET.
Dec 24, 2022 5:02 AM EST
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bengals after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: The running back's ankle issue led to him being listed as questionable ahead of this past Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but Stevenson suited up and recorded 19 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown and two catches for minus-4 yards. Official confirmation of his Week 16 availability will arrive when inactives are posted in advance of Saturday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but as long as Stevenson is a go, he'll see his share of touches versus Cincinnati, though it's possible that the potential return of Damien Harris (thigh, questionable) could cut into his workload.
Dec 22, 2022 2:51 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) was listed as limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Stevenson's ankle injury had him listed as questionable ahead of this past Sunday's contest against the Raiders, but he played through the issue, racking up 19 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown and two catches for minus-4 yards. With no reported setbacks since then, Stevenson's limitations this week could be maintenance-related, though it still seems probable that he (along with Damien Harris, thigh) will approach Saturday's game against the Bengals listed as questionable.
Dec 21, 2022 2:57 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report estimate.
Analysis: Stevenson played through the injury and ran for 172 yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, bouncing back quickly after the ankle sprain forced him from a Monday night win over the Cardinals six days earlier. He'll likely be out there and leading the New England rushing attack this Sunday in a trickier matchup with the Bengals.
Dec 20, 2022 1:49 PM EST
Stevenson carries the ball 19 times for 172 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The second-year back set a new career high in rushing yards for a game, topping the 161 yards he racked up against the Lions in Week 5 of this season, and Stevenson's 34-yard TD run late in the fourth quarter gave the Patriots a 24-17 lead, seemingly setting the team up for a win before a disastrous final minute. Stevenson appeared to be completely over the ankle injury that limited him last week in Arizona, but he gets a tough matchup in Week 16 against a Bengals defense that has stifled the likes of Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry over the last month.
Dec 18, 2022 5:36 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Stevenson, who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, returned to a limited session Friday and will give it a go Sunday, though it remains to be seen how close to a full workload he'll see after being limited to 13 snaps this past Monday against the Cardinals due to an ankle injury. In any case, with Damien Harris (thigh) inactive, the Patriots will take all they can get from their leading rusher in Week 15, with rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris on hand to provide support in the event that Stevenson is limited at all or suffers any setbacks versus Las Vegas.
Dec 18, 2022 11:44 AM EST
Stevenson (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport reports a source saying Stevenson has a "good chance" to suit up in Las Vegas, but the final word on his status may not come until inactives are released ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. kickoff. The running back is officially listed as questionable after his ankle injury limited him to just 13 snaps Week 14. Meanwhile, Damien Harris (thigh) has been downgraded to out versus the Raiders.
Dec 18, 2022 3:20 AM EST
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Stevenson logged a limited session Friday, which gives him a chance to play versus Las Vegas. Meanwhile, fellow running Damien Harris (thigh) is also questionable after practicing in a limited fashion all week. The duo's status is thus worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff, but if either of the Patriots' top two backs end up out or limited this weekend, rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris would be called upon to log added touches as they did in Week 14, when Damien Harris was inactive and Stevenson's ankle injury limited him to 13 snaps.
Dec 16, 2022 2:50 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) was present for the media-access portion of practice Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Stevenson logged 'DNPs' Wednesday and Thursday, but his presence at practice Friday offers hope that the running back could potentially play Sunday against the Raiders. The Patriots' upcoming injury report is slated to add further context with regard to the Week 15 playing prospects of both Stevenson and fellow running back Damien Harris (thigh).
Dec 16, 2022 12:58 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site notes that Damien Harris (thigh) -- who was limited Wednesday -- practiced once again Thursday. With that in mind, Harris appears closer to playing Sunday against the Raiders than Stevenson, though that narrative could potentially shift based on what transpires during Friday's session.
Dec 15, 2022 12:24 PM EST
Stevenson (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: An ankle injury limited Stevenson to just 13 snaps in Monday's win over the Cardinals and the running back's absence from practice Wednesday clouds his status for this weekend's game against the Raiders. With Damien Harris dealing with a thigh issue, rookies Kevin Harris and Pierre Strong are currently the Patriots' healthiest backfield options.
