Rhamondre Stevenson the RB1 in New England?

Saturday, March 7, 6:14 AM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson had seven rushing touchdowns for the second straight season during the regular season and helped the team advance to the Super Bowl. However, the 28-year-old took a step back in 2025 with 603 rushing yards on a career-low 130 carries (4.6 yards per attempt) in 14 regular-season games. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson led New England's backfield with 911 rushing yards and nine TDs on 180 carries (5.1 yards per tote). The 28-year-old Stevenson was the Patriots' No. 1 back by default last year, but Henderson was more productive and almost certainly will have the opportunity to pass Stevenson on the RB depth chart in 2026. That will be especially true if Stevenson's ball-security issues resurface -- he lost two more fumbles last season. Stevenson might be more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in 2026 with less volume.

Is Tyrone Tracy Jr. Losing Value in a Crowded Backfield?

Saturday, February 28, 4:57 AM

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy, Jr., may be on the outside looking in during the 2026 season. The team expects fellow running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) to make a full recovery by Week 1, and may target other backs in free agency or the NFL draft. Tracy was unable to replicate his electric rookie season during his sophomore year and lost playing time, seeing just 31.5% of offensive snaps until Skattebo's season-ending injury in Week 8. Starting in Week 9, his playtime nearly doubled to 61.9% of team snaps, and Tracy did have two RB1 performances, including a career-high 24.7 PPR points against the Washington Commanders during the fantasy playoffs in Week 15. Tracy is a young, talented back who has demonstrated his RB1 ability, but his dynasty value could plummet this offseason if he drops further down the depth chart.
