Rhamondre Stevenson Continues to Shine in Receiving Game

Tuesday, August 11, 8:15 AM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson continues to shine in the receiving game out of the backfield at training camp and made multiple nice touchdown catches in practice on Tuesday, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. With second-year back TreVeyon Henderson reportedly not making much progress as a pass-blocker this summer, Stevenson appears to have taken advantage and continues to work in passing situations out of the backfield. Henderson is still the more explosive back with more long-term fantasy upside in New England, but the 28-year-old Stevenson is not going away in 2026. It says a lot that Stevenson dominated the team's backfield touches last postseason during the team's Super Bowl run. With that said, Stevenson's depth chart position with the Pats is still shaky entering his sixth NFL season, and he could quickly be in head coach Mike Vrabel's doghouse if his ball-security issues resurface. Injuries have been an issue for Stevenson, too. But going into the 2026 campaign, Stevenson could be a nice RB3/flex at a discount for fantasy managers. RotoBaller currently has Stevenson ranked as the No. 26 fantasy RB, with Henderson right behind him at 27.

Brian Robinson Jr. Back to Second-Team Offense After Bijan's Return

Friday, August 7, 7:39 PM

After Atlanta Falcons superstar running back Bijan Robinson ended his holdout and signed a three-year, $75 million contract, Brian Robinson Jr. has returned to the second team in training camp. The former Commanders and 49ers running back has totaled 3,341 yards and 22 touchdowns in 58 NFL games. Robinson Jr. is coming off the worst statistical season of his career with San Francisco, finishing with just 425 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns despite playing all 17 games. Now in Atlanta, most speculate that he'll replace Tyler Allgeier, who was the Falcons' RB1B from 2023-2025. However, Allgeier's production has been far better than Robinson Jr.'s, and it's a whole new scheme with Kevin Stefanski in town. Fantasy managers should view Robinson Jr. as a handcuff in this offense and not expect much standalone value behind Bijan.
