Rhamondre Stevenson Remains Very Involved on Passing Downs

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.

Ray Davis News

Ray Davis Expected to be Fine After Injury Scare

Friday, August 7, 7:24 PM

After a foot injury on Tuesday, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis (foot) returned to practice and is fine. Davis went down during an 11-on-11 drill with a lower-right-leg injury. He went to the medical tent, returned with tape on that foot/ankle, and had no serious injury. The former fourth-round pick struggled in 2025, totaling only 361 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in 17 games. As a direct handcuff to star running back James Cook, Davis has a tough time finding standalone value, with fellow backup Ty Johnson taking most of the receiving work in the offense. If Cook is injured, Davis would be a priority pickup; otherwise, he will likely be a non-factor in fantasy this season.
