News: 5 days agoStevenson rushed 20 times for 73 yards and caught all four of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.

Spin: Stevenson surpassed 70 rushing yards for the second consecutive game and the fifth time in 10 appearances this season. He isn't much of a contributor in the passing game, but Stevenson usually gets hefty workloads on the ground as long as the 3-8 Patriots aren't getting blown out, as this was the fifth time he recorded at least 20 rushing attempts in a game this season. Stevenson should remain heavily involved in Week 12 against a Dolphins defense that's been more vulnerable on the ground than through the air.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Stevenson enters his fourth season with the Patriots with career averages of 15.1 touches, 74.3 total yards and 12.4 fantasy points per game. While he demonstrated his ability to handle an every-down role in 2022, Stevenson shared the workload with veteran Ezekiel Elliott last season, and missed the final five games due to injury. With new head coach Jerod Mayo succeeding Bill Belichick and the addition of running back Antonio Gibson in the offseason, the Patriots' backfield remains projected as a committee. New England's offense was poor last season, and with a rookie at quarterback, it may not improve much in 2024. Despite Stevenson's expressed desire to be the featured back, he is best viewed as a high-end flex option in fantasy.
