New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 36 yards on seven carries during Friday's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. He was not targeted in the passing game. Although Stevenson has been productive through four seasons and has a 1,400-yard year under his belt, he still faces some job security. He was benched late last season for Antonio Gibson, and now he must also fend off the likes of TreVeyon Henderson. That won't be easy, as Henderson contributed a 100-yard kick return touchdown on Friday and also broke off an 18-yard rush. This backfield competition continues to be a must-watch for fans and fantasy managers alike as the summer carries on.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson dropped 10 pounds heading into the 2025 season in an effort to add the necessary speed to make big plays. "I'm trying to unlock breakaway speed," Stevenson said, and "having TreVeyon (Henderson) coming in here running a 4.3. Let me get my speed up." The 27-year-old had a career-best seven rushing touchdowns and ran for 801 yards on 207 carries in his fourth year in the NFL, but he also fumbled the ball seven times. The Pats' investment of RB TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of this year's draft has Stevenson's fantasy stock on the decline. Stevenson still has three-down abilities, but it's clear New England wants to mix in Henderson with him, which lowers Stevenson's fantasy ceiling more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in fantasy. At the very least, he should see plenty of goal-line opportunities.

The Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan reports that New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is missing at Saturday's training camp practice, and no reason was given for his absence. We should have an update to pass along shortly on why Stevenson isn't practicing, but it could be just a day off for him early in camp with the players just wearing shells and not full pads. Stevenson's fantasy stock has definitely fallen going into the 2025 campaign, even though he ran for 801 yards on 207 carries for a career-high seven rushing touchdowns in 15 games (14 starts). The 27-year-old continued to have ball-security issues and averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per carry. If his fumbling issues don't improve, the Pats will surely bench Stevenson in 2025 after they drafted TreVeyon Henderson in the second round in April. He has become a volatile RB3/flex in fantasy.

The New England Patriots gave running back Rhamondre Stevenson a four-year, $36 million extension last summer, which kicks in for the 2025 season. The Athletic's Chad Graff writes that the extension for Stevenson already looks like a bad move after he had 207 carries for 807 yards (career-low 3.9 yards per carry) last year, although he did score a career-high seven rushing touchdowns. On top of it, the Pats selected rookie TreVeyon Henderson in the second round this year, so New England now have an out to move on from Stevenson if he struggles again in 2025. The biggest drawback to the 27-year-old last year were his seven fumbles. He has nice size and abilities in the passing game, but he won't be guaranteed much under the new coaching staff and will face plenty of competition from Henderson. RotoBaller has Stevenson ranked as the RB35 in fantasy.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson remains an unreliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Stevenson was effectively benched last Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers. While he did log the first touch of the game, he finished the contest with just two carries for one yard while Antonio Gibson rushed the ball 12 times. Gibson has led the Patriots' backfield in snaps for two consecutive weeks, which is the product of Stevenson's poor ball security this season, including a costly Week 16 fumble against the Bills. The Patriots have been somewhat quiet about their personnel decision for Sunday's regular-season finale, but we would expect Stevenson to remain in the doghouse. He's not a dependable fantasy option as the Patriots' season wraps up.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for one yard on two carries during Saturday's Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in blowout fashion. He also failed to catch his lone target. Stevenson had operated as the Patriots' primary running back for the entire season, but he was relegated to the backup role this Saturday after a costly fumble back in Week 16. It's unclear if the 26-year-old's benching is a one-time, temporary matter or if he'll remain the No. 2 option behind Antonio Gibson for next week's season finale against the Buffalo Bills, too. Until we get more clarity on the Patriots' backfield situation, Stevenson should be viewed as a mid-to-low RB4 option in fantasy football.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has lost some of his fantasy appeal heading into Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Stevenson does rank as the overall RB24 in PPR leagues this year, he has been quite inconsistent and does not inspire much confidence for Week 17. This reduced faith stems from his performance last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in which he lost a crucial fumble and also dropped a toss from Drake Maye that turned into a defensive touchdown for the other team. Stevenson did manage to score 13.3 fantasy points against the Bills, but nearly half of those points came from his touchdown. The 26-year-old played just 44 percent of snaps in the contest, which was his second-lowest mark of the year. His career-low 3.9 yards per carry coupled with last Sunday's costly fumble may have put Stevenson in the doghouse, prompting the Patriots to rely on Antonio Gibson more. There's even a chance that Gibson, who played 59 percent of the snaps last Sunday, draws the start in Week 17. Stevenson will sneak into the RB2 or RB3 tier if he finds the end zone, but that's a relatively big ask. Otherwise, he'll rank as a mid-range RB4 and can be benched in most leagues with 14 or fewer teams. That's especially true against a Chargers defense allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2024.
Dec 27, 2024 12:34 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed 12 times for 60 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also caught a 13-yard pass and lost a fumble. Stevenson's showing in Buffalo was a tale of highs and lows. On a positive note, he found the end zone and mustered an impressive five yards per carry. Less ideal, however, was his costly fumble that could have been the difference-maker in a one-score game. He made another mistake that didn't show up on the stat sheet when he couldn't corral a backward pass from Drake Maye, leading to an easy Buffalo scoop-and-score touchdown. Stevenson certainly has some things to clean up before next Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but if he can get back in the end zone without fumbling the ball, he'll rank as a high-end RB3 option for fantasy football.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson could have an opportunity to demonstrate his pass-catching upside during Sunday's Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. New England faces Buffalo two times over the next three weeks, and this Sunday's contest could set the tone for Stevenson to win back some of the opportunities that he has ceded to Antonio Gibson lately. While Buffalo has been solid against the run, they're porous against pass-catching running backs. In fact, the Bills have allowed the most catches, most receiving yards, and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2024. That bodes well for Stevenson, who has multiple catches in nine of his 13 games this season. He has caught an impressive 32 of 39 passes thrown his way this year, which is a higher total than Gibson, his backfield-mate. Touchdown opportunities have been limited for Stevenson this year, which means his fantasy managers need him to catch passes to produce points. There's no better matchup than the Bills for this to happen. As a result, he ranks as a high-end RB3 in most leagues as the fantasy playoffs carry on.
Dec 20, 2024 10:56 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 69 yards on 13 carries during Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He also converted his lone target into a 16-yard reception. The 26-year-old delivered modest production, and although he still led the backfield in touches, he did share a significant portion of opportunities with Antonio Gibson. Stevenson's pass-catching upside should keep him in the high-end RB3 range ahead of next week's matchup against a vulnerable Buffalo Bills defense.
Dec 15, 2024 9:36 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson continues to be a risky RB3 option heading into Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. While Stevenson remains the Patriots' lead back and had a 94-yard showing prior to last week's bye, a few factors should cause fantasy managers to at least consider other options for their Week 15 lineups. First, Stevenson could be headed for a reduced role this week. In Week 13, Antonio Gibson averaged 8.9 yards per carry and scored a touchdown, showing the coaching staff that he deserves more opportunities going forward. Additionally, we can't discount the Cardinals' run defense. While the unit has admittedly started to break down over the season, they've held players like Kyren Williams and Aaron Jones to 25 or fewer rushing yards. Managers shouldn't necessarily rush to bench Stevenson we still like his game script and receiving upside but they would be wise to at least explore some of the FLEX options on their bench or waiver wire.
Dec 13, 2024 1:19 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 73 yards on 18 carries during Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 21 receiving yards. Although Stevenson failed to find the end zone Sunday, fantasy managers have to be happy with his performance, especially considering how unproductive he was just one game earlier in Week 12. He followed up last Sunday's 13-yard clunker by tallying 94 scrimmage yards and boasting a solid 4.1 yards per carry against the Colts. Although Antonio Gibson cut into Stevenson's volume and scoring opportunities, the latter remains New England's No. 1 option out of the backfield and should be viewed as a high-end fantasy RB3 on the other side of the Patriots' Week 14 bye.
Dec 2, 2024 2:13 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is coming off one of his worst games this season, as he rushed just eight times for 13 yards and failed to catch a pass last Sunday. Stevenson was inefficient, unproductive, and relatively uninvolved in the Patriots' loss to Miami. However, he has a chance to bounce back in a big way this week against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have struggled to slow down opposing backfields, allowing the eighth-most receptions, fourth-most rushing yards, and fourth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2024. The 26-year-old's fantasy ranking drops to the RB3 tier this week, but he's still worth deploying in most leagues given his favorable matchup at home.
Nov 30, 2024 1:34 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 13 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also failed to catch either of his two targets. If it's any consolation, he did deliver a two-point conversion in the defeat. Still, the Patriots' lead running back had one of his worst games of the season, demonstrating reduced volume, limited production, and poor efficiency while failing to score a touchdown for the third week in a row. It was a disappointing and somewhat surprising finish from Stevenson given that he had 93 scrimmage yards and one touchdown the last time he faced the Dolphins. Moving forward, he's merely an RB3/FLEX option in fantasy football, including next week against the Indianapolis Colts.
Nov 24, 2024 5:07 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has posted mixed results this season, ranking inside among the top 10 fantasy running backs in half of his games but also turning in three performances outside the top 40. Stevenson has struggled with efficiency this year, tallying a career-low 3.8 yards per carry. On the other hand, he has developed a nose for the end zone, posting a career-high seven touchdowns through just 10 contests. In addition to his touchdown tally so far, Stevenson's previous matchup against Miami resulted in an overall RB5 finish; he rushed for 89 yards, caught four passes, and scored a touchdown in his last time facing the Dolphins. Miami has been strong against the pass, but they're softer against the run, surrendering the 10th-most fantasy points and fifth-most total touchdowns to opposing running backs. The 26-year-old has a good chance to find the end zone, and he boasts legitimate top-12 upside once again.
Nov 22, 2024 10:11 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 73 yards on 20 carries during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He also caught all four of his targets for an additional 16 receiving yards. Although the Patriots' lead back saw a heavy workload on Sunday afternoon, he demonstrated relatively low efficiency and failed to find the end zone. Fantasy managers will hope that he can bounce back and snap his two-week scoreless streak next Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
Nov 17, 2024 11:27 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson ranks as a low-end fantasy RB2 heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. While Stevenson has struggled with efficiency lately and has seen his fantasy value become largely dependent on touchdowns, the Patriots' lead back has firm control on his role and continues to be a high-volume option on offense. Just last week, he touched the ball 21 times, salvaging a fantasy-relevant performance despite failing to find the end zone. This week, he'll be in a decent position to contribute significant yardage, catch passes, and perhaps score a touchdown against a Rams defense allowing mediocre results to opposing running backs in 2024. Stevenson is a fringe top-24 fantasy running back at the moment.
Nov 16, 2024 12:44 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 74 yards on 20 carries during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Chicago Bears. He also turned his lone target into a three-yard reception. Although Stevenson saw heavy volume and modest efficiency, his fantasy showing was somewhat disappointing given that he caught only one pass and failed to score a touchdown. This was quite the change for Stevenson, who had tallied four touchdowns over his last two games. Moving forward, Stevenson remains in the low-end RB2 conversation. He'll face the Los Angeles Rams at home next weekend.
Nov 10, 2024 8:24 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has been one of the NFL's most productive running back in terms of scoring touchdowns lately. He has found the end zone four times over the last two games. Despite his clear productivity around the goal line, Stevenson has struggled in other areas, including efficiency; he has just 2.1 yards per carry over his last two games. In total, over the last two weeks, he has 30 carries for 64 yards on the ground, eight catches for 55 yards through the air, and the four touchdowns. He'll look to keep his scoring streak going this week against the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the 13th-most rushing yards and 10th-most rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs this year. Given that Chicago has a strong secondary, we could see the Patriots lean on the run this week even if they're playing from behind. With decent volume, Stevenson could be a solid low-end RB2, but he'll still need to show good efficiency, scoring tendencies, and pass-catching work.
Nov 9, 2024 9:09 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was highly inefficient on the ground Sunday, rushing for just 16 yards on 10 carries against the Tennessee Titans. However, he was able to salvage his fantasy performance with one rushing touchdown, one receiving touchdown, five catches, and 38 receiving yards. Stevenson was responsible for both of the Patriots' touchdowns Sunday, one of which was a score as time expired in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Stevenson now has seven touchdowns this year, including four over the last two weeks. If he can continue to catch passes and score points, the 26-year-old will be a respectable RB2 option in fantasy football. He faces the Chicago Bears next week.
