Rhamondre Stevenson News
Thursday, August 6, 8:36 AM
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson continues to be involved on passing downs in training camp, with quarterback Drake Maye checking it down to Stevenson during a two-minute drill on Thursday, according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Meanwhile, second-year back TreVeyon Henderson continues to struggle in pass protection, much like he did as a rookie in 2025. The 28-year-old Stevenson has scored exactly seven rushing touchdowns in each of the last two seasons in New England and will enter his sixth year in the league in a timeshare once again with Henderson, who is the more explosive back of the two. Stevenson has had ball-security issues, but if healthy, he's not going away in offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' scheme, which should give him value as at least an RB3/flex in fantasy leagues again in 2026. However, if the former fourth-rounder's ball-security issues persist, Stevenson could lose a bigger grasp of the backfield work to the younger and more explosive Henderson. Stevenson is shaping up as more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in his second year sharing the backfield with Henderson.

Chase Brown News
Wednesday, August 5, 6:39 AM
Through the early stages of training camp, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pritcher has already dug into the deepest corners of the team's playbook, and a player seemingly at the center of everything has been running back Chase Brown. The fourth-year back has been moved all across the formation, with The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. pointing out, "Brown lines up in the slot and runs a slant one play, then takes a jet sweep the next. He's part of 20 personnel with two running backs, motions into the backfield, behind a fullback and almost any other spot imaginable." While the inclusion of some lesser used plays has led to expected inconsistencies from the offense as whole, Browns usage has been one of the most encouraging signs to come out of Bengals camp, and he could be in line for a massive workload in 2026.
