New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 18 yards on seven carries during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also caught two of three targets for an additional seven yards through the air. New England seemed to abandon its rushing attack early on Sunday, allowing Drake Maye to throw 37 times. As a result, Stevenson was not much of a factor as he struggled to get going on the ground and didn't carve out much of a role in the passing game. It's possible this trend continues against an up-and-coming Jets team next week, leaving Stevenson in the RB3 tier for fantasy purposes.

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Trey Benson (illness) is officially active for the Cardinals on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. Benson did not practice on Saturday due to an illness and was listed as questionable on the final injury report, but he will be active and continue to serve as James Conner's backup. The 22-year-old's role has been limited so far in his first NFL season while working behind Conner, as he has only received 30 rushing attempts for 107 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and no touchdowns while adding two receptions on his two targets for 12 yards. Benson has seen double-digit rushing attempts just once, and that was back in Week 2. Expect a similar limited workload on Monday night against a tough defense. In most fantasy leagues, Benson is merely a handcuff for Conner.
