Rhamondre Stevenson News
Sunday, April 19, 7:52 AM
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson's perception in dynasty fantasy football leagues has declined, creating an opportunity for managers to buy low on a weekly RB3/flex option. Stevenson saw his role change during the second half of the 2025 season as rookie TreVeyon Henderson broke out. Still, the Patriots went run-heavy for most of the year, so Stevenson maintained a fantasy-relevant role alongside the rookie. In fact, over his final five games of the season, he averaged 63.8 rushing yards, 34.2 receiving yards, 1.2 touchdowns, and 20.0 fantasy points in full-PPR leagues per game. We expect Henderson to be the primary ball-carrier in 2026, but Stevenson should remain a heavily involved part of the offense, enough to justify deploying him as an RB3/flex every week. That's where there's value for fantasy managers; Stevenson has top-36 appeal every week, but he has fallen to RB46 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. At 28 years old, Stevenson still has plenty of good football ahead of him. He's an appealing dynasty trade target this offseason.

MarShawn Lloyd News
Saturday, April 4, 7:51 PM
Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd has struggled to stay healthy through two NFL seasons. He has logged offensive snaps in just one game so far, totaling seven touches. Nevertheless, we're intrigued by the possibility of Lloyd stepping into the No. 2 running back role next season. Emanuel Wilson departed in free agency, leaving an open competition for the role of Josh Jacobs' backup. Lloyd has significant draft capital attached to him as a 2024 third-round pick, whereas fellow depth option Chris Brooks is a former Dolphins undrafted running back with a minimal track record of his own. Given that Brooks hasn't built much momentum for a push to the No. 2 role, it seems like Lloyd is the early favorite to back up Jacobs, as long as he stays healthy. Lloyd's availability is far from guaranteed, but he has a clean bill of health this offseason and should be near 100 percent entering training camp. As long as the Packers don't spend a premium pick on a rookie running back in this month's draft, Lloyd will be an intriguing dynasty trade target this offseason. In addition to being a handcuff in 2026, he has long-term upside in case he takes on a bigger role after Jacobs' contract expires in two years.
