Rhamondre Stevenson Injures Knee, Won't Return in Week 9

Sunday, November 8, 2:15 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. He finished the game with six carries, 32 rushing yards, three catches, 46 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown, and one lost fumble. Stevenson suffered the injury late in the third quarter on Sunday afternoon. Fantasy managers and Patriots fans will want to stay tuned for updates as the team conducts additional testing postgame. It's a bit too early to panic, and it's certainly possible that the Patriots ruled him out as a precaution because they have an insurmountable 24-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, this injury couldn't come at a worse time for the Patriots, who were also without wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) and running back TreVeyon Henderson (illness) this week. In the event that neither Stevenson nor Henderson can play in Week 10 against Detroit, Corey Kiner and Lan Larison would step up as the Patriots' top two ball-carriers.

Chase Brown Falls Short of RB1 Expectations in Madrid

Sunday, November 8, 9:08 AM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was stopped for no gain from the one-yard line in the second quarter, and Joe Burrow scored on the next snap. Brown finished with 57 yards on nine carries and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards as Cincinnati beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-17 in Madrid in Week 9. He scored 10.5 PPR points after entering the game at RB11 in RotoBaller's weekend PPR rankings. Samaje Perine rushed for 43 yards on 11 carries, seven of them in the fourth quarter as Cincinnati protected a lead. Brown had seven carries to Perine's four through three quarters. Brown gained two more yards on the ground than he did in Week 8, but his catches dropped from eight against the Tennessee Titans to three. He finished with 8.9 PPR points in his first meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he caught just two passes. Brown remains a PPR RB2 for the Week 10 home rematch, with his value still tied to catches during a seven-game touchdown drought.
