Rhamondre Stevenson Back in Must-Start Territory After 142-Yard Game?

Monday, September 15, 1:01 AM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 54 yards on 11 carries during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. He also caught all five of his targets for an additional 88 yards through the air. The Patriots' offense ran through Stevenson in this divisional contest as he ultimately led the team in carries, rushing yards, targets, receptions, and receiving yards. Although there has been plenty of chatter about Stevenson eventually relinquishing his role to Tre'Veyon Henderson, that simply won't happen if he continues to play at a high level. Sunday's showing should only earn him more playing time going forward, so we expect him to fetch another 15-plus touches against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. Pittsburgh's defense hasn't been playing nearly as well as expected through the first two weeks of the season, allowing 145 scrimmage yards to Breece Hall in Week 1, followed by 118 scrimmage yards and a touchdown to Kenneth Walker III in Week 2. The Steelers should be considered a favorable matchup for Stevenson, who is suddenly back in the mid-range RB2 conversation after a terrific performance on the road.

Zamir White News

Zamir White's Fantasy Outlook Hinges on Jeanty's Health

Friday, September 12, 2:33 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has secured the No. 2 role behind rookie Ashton Jeanty, but his Week 1 usage was minimal. White played just 14% of offensive snaps and managed only eight yards on three carries, serving strictly in a relief role. The positive takeaway is that he has clearly distanced himself above Raheem Mostert on the depth chart, but with Jeanty handling 86% of the snaps and dominating touches, White's value is strictly that of a handcuff. Unless Jeanty misses time, there's little path to standalone fantasy relevance for White this season.
