Rhamondre Stevenson's Receiving Skill Set Warrants RB3 Consideration

Saturday, October 3, 12:26 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson's pass-catching skill set should put him back on the fantasy radar for Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. Stevenson hasn't been a productive fantasy option in the two games since TreVeyon Henderson returned to action, but that could change this week against Buffalo. Most notably, Stevenson's ability to excel in passing scenarios should match up nicely against the Bills' struggles against pass-catching running backs. In fact, the Bills have allowed the fourth-most catches, third-most receiving yards, and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2026. Stevenson, meanwhile, already has nine catches on 11 targets this year. The Patriots are projected for a negative game script against the Bills, so while there might not be a ton of rushing volume for Stevenson, he can get onto the RB3/flex radar in PPR leagues because of the anticipated high passing volume.

Chase Brown's Lack of Receiving is Holding Him Back in 2026

Friday, October 2, 2:51 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has gotten off to a slow start to the 2026 season despite heavy usage. In three games, Brown has 49 carries for 197 yards and a touchdown, plus 10 receptions for 32 yards, averaging 11.3 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Brown has played 70% of the snaps so far this season, which ranks among the best among NFL running backs. However, his receiving role hasn't been as much of a factor, averaging just 10.7 yards per game through the air. He's relying more on his rushing ability, but that could be hard to come by in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which allowed the fewest fantasy points in 2025 and has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards so far this season. While Brown is likely to bounce back, his receiving role will need to improve for him to be the low-end RB1 fantasy managers drafted him to be.
