Rhamondre Stevenson Absent On Wednesday

Rhamondre Stevenson Absent On Wednesday

12 months ago

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) was absent for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Stevenson tweaked his ankle in Week 13 and was unable to play on a short week last Thursday in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's currently off to a bad start this week and could certainly miss a second straight game this Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy managers would be wise to keep him on their benches for now. Ezekiel Elliott flourished as the lead back last week, seeing a season-high 22 carries for 68 yards while catching a season-high seven passes for an additional 72 yards and his first receiving TD of the year. Zeke would have RB2 upside once again against KC in Week 15 if Stevenson is unable to make progress towards playing by Sunday.
