Rhamondre Stevenson News
Friday, October 9, 11:20 AM
The New England Patriots listed running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) as questionable to play in Week 5 at home against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but Stevenson said on Friday that he's "ready to go," according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Stevenson "is not out as of yet." The 28-year-old put in limited practice sessions from Wednesday through Friday. He could be a true game-time decision on Sunday morning, but fantasy managers will want to check back on Saturday to see if any new information comes out on Stevenson's Sunday status. The six-year back is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry through four games in 2026, carrying the ball 44 times for 163 yards and one touchdown while also catching 12 of his 16 targets for 90 yards through the air. If Stevenson is limited or out against the Raiders, Henderson will have RB1 upside as the Pats look to make it two straight wins. Stevenson is shaping up as a shaky RB3/flex for fantasy managers because of the uncertainty around his status.

Chase Brown News
Friday, October 9, 1:09 PM
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown should be ready to get a large volume of touches as the Bengals head to Miami to face the Dolphins. Brown had an inefficient day on the ground last week, rushing nine times for just 10 yards in the 17-22 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The back salvaged his fantasy day with elite usage through the air, catching 11 passes for 71 yards on 11 targets. Things should be easier for him as the Bengals take on one of the league's worst defenses in Week 5. The Dolphins defense has not been able to stop anyone on the ground or through the air so, it should be smooth sailing for Brown this weekend. Brown could also benefit from the absence of Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins due to injury, opening up more opportunities for fantasy success. Brown is ranked RB5 in our RotoBaller Week 5 PPR rankings, making him a strong start at the position. Fantasy managers should start Brown with confidence this week despite his slow start to the season.
