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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson had an impressive showing last Sunday, but he'll get a tougher matchup in the form of the Tennessee Titans during Week 9. The 2024 season has been a mixed bag of results for Stevenson, who is ultimately averaging 60.3 rushing yards, 8.7 receiving yards, and 0.7 touchdowns per game. His reduced work as a pass-catcher is particularly perplexing given how effective he's been as a receiver and blocker in past years. Nevertheless, Stevenson has showcased efficiency and a nose for the end zone this year, allowing him to rank as the overall RB24 so far this season. He'll likely fall a few spots against a Titans defense allowing the sixth-fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs, but he's still worth starting in most leagues.
Nov 2, 2024 8:20 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 48 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries during Sunday's Week 8 win over the New York Jets. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 17 receiving yards. Although Stevenson was inefficient on the ground, he made up for it by finding the end zone twice and also converting a two-point conversion. The 26-year-old has now scored at least 17 fantasy points (PPR) in four of his seven games this year, vaulting him back into the high-end RB3 tier for Week 8 against a Tennessee Titans defense that was just gashed by Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. The team listed him with a foot/not-injury-related designation on Wednesday, so he was likely held out as a precaution. Stevenson missed the Week 6 outing against the Houston Texans before returning to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. Based on what we know so far, he is trending toward playing in Week 8 in a matchup with the New York Jets. The Jets have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs, and Stevenson has been a boom-or-bust option this season. That said, consider him an RB3 option with a low floor this Sunday if he's active.
Oct 24, 2024 2:30 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 18 yards on seven carries during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also caught two of three targets for an additional seven yards through the air. New England seemed to abandon its rushing attack early on Sunday, allowing Drake Maye to throw 37 times. As a result, Stevenson was not much of a factor as he struggled to get going on the ground and didn't carve out much of a role in the passing game. It's possible this trend continues against an up-and-coming Jets team next week, leaving Stevenson in the RB3 tier for fantasy purposes.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction entering the weekend. In the end, the 26-year-old missed just one game due to the injury. His return this week bumps Antonio Gibson out of the starting role. Stevenson, who is averaging 78 scrimmage yards and 0.6 touchdowns per game this season, ranks as a low-end fantasy RB2 in his return. He gets help from a favorable matchup against the Jaguars, who have allowed the second-most receptions and seventh-most fantasy points to opposing running backs so far this season.
Oct 20, 2024 8:10 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is expected to suit up for the Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stevenson was able to return to practice on Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week. It sounds like the organization plans to have Stevenson available this weekend, barring any setbacks. They haven't promoted a running back from the practice squad, so it'll probably be Antonio Gibson and Stevenson in the backfield. Gibson struggled as the lead back last week, so Stevenson could see a bigger role this weekend. If active, Stevenson should be on the RB2 radar for this matchup with the Jaguars in London.
Oct 19, 2024 7:07 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) returned to the practice field on Friday and said he feels like he should be ready to play on Sunday in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stevenson didn't play in the Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field on Friday. The 26-year-old will be a game-time decision on Sunday in London, so the Patriots will make a final decision on his Week 7 status after watching him in pre-game warmups. Fantasy managers will know first thing on Sunday morning if Stevenson is active, but even if he is, he could face workload restrictions, making him a volatile fantasy flex option. Antonio Gibson underwhelmed with 13 carries for only 19 yards in Week 6 with Stevenson sidelined, but he could once again have an elevated role against the Jags, even if Stevenson gets the green light.
Oct 18, 2024 1:34 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) still did not participate in practice on Thursday but seems to be trending in a better direction. Head coach Jerod Mayo said the 26-year-old will "probably be a game-time decision." He also mentioned that Stevenson is approaching a return from his one-game absence. Stevenson was switched from the starter to the backup in the last game he played against the Miami Dolphins and ended up with his second-best performance of the season. If he can make it on the field in Week 7, he draws a favorable matchup against a weaker Jacksonville Jaguars defense. Otherwise, Antonio Gibson and JaMycal Hasty will split the backfield work.
Oct 18, 2024 9:30 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is not practicing on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice with a foot injury. His lack of practice early in the week suggests he could be trending toward missing the Week 7 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. He sat out last week's showdown against the Houston Texans. Backup Antonio Gibson could draw another start, and despite his lack of success against Houston in Week 6, he will have a favorable matchup against the Jaguars defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to RBs.
Oct 17, 2024 2:50 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday ahead of the Week 7 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The fourth-year pro missed last week's contest with a football injury, and his status for Sunday's contest appears to be in doubt. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but if he cannot go, Antonio Gibson will draw another start. In Week 6 against the Houston Texans, Gibson only produced 19 rushing yards on 13 attempts and 24 receiving yards on three receptions (four targets). However, the Jaguars present a much friendlier matchup for running backs, so Gibson could bounce back if he's in the RB1 role once again.
Oct 16, 2024 2:12 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) will not play on Sunday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. Stevenson was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was not seen at Friday's practice. Even though he will sit out this weekend, head coach Jerod Mayo expressed that this injury is not deemed to be serious and will not sideline Stevenson for an extended period. Fantasy managers should monitor the 26-year-old's status during next week's practices. On Sunday, Antonio Gibson should be expected to serve as the lead running back and should be viewed as a high-volume flex play against a tough Houston run defense.
Oct 11, 2024 4:07 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is not expected to miss a long period of time according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Stevenson did not practice earlier in the week and was also not seen at Friday's practice. Fantasy managers should monitor Friday's injury report as it will likely provide clarity on his status heading into the weekend. However, given that Stevenson has not logged a practice session this week does not bode well for his availability on Sunday. After not finding the end zone during Weeks 3 and 4, Stevenson broke out of his slump last weekend as he ran for 89 yards and a score. If Stevenson were to sit out this weekend, Antonio Gibson becomes a viable flex option as he should see a majority of the opportunities in the backfield.
Oct 11, 2024 12:11 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) was not spotted at the team's open portion of practice on Thursday, marking the second straight day he has missed. A Thursday "DNP" is always concerning, so fantasy managers should start to prepare for the possibility of him missing the Week 6 contest against the Houston Texans. If he misses, former Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson could see close to a workhorse role, while JaMycal Hasty would likely see some work behind him. The Texans have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to RBs this season, but rookie quarterback Drake Maye will likely target Stevenson or Gibson often in his first career NFL start. That said, whichever running back starts could see a slight boost in PPR setups.
Oct 10, 2024 2:42 PM EST
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (calf) did not practice on Wednesday due to a calf injury, according to Patriots beat reporter Taylor Kyles. The 26-year-old didn't appear to be injured following the Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but nonetheless, his status is now worth monitoring. Last week, head coach Jerod Mayo said the team would start Antonio Gibson at running back following Stevenson's four fumbles in four games, but Stevenson still led the team in touches and rushed 12 times for 89 yards and a touchdown. He should continue to be viewed as the RB1 in New England, but if he can't play on Sunday, Gibson will become an attractive RB2 option. New England faces a Houston Texans' defense that has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs this season, but the former Washington Commanders' ball carrier could see 20-plus touches and be leaned on in rookie quarterback Drake Maye's first start. If Stevenson plays, he's a solid RB2 option.
