Rhamondre Stevenson Active Against Saints

one year ago

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is officially active for Week 5 on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints after being listed as questionable to play. The 25-year-old practiced on a limited basis throughout the week and was never really in danger of sitting out this weekend. Stevenson should maintain his lead-back role in New England, but he hasn't done much in recent weeks and has seen veteran Ezekiel Elliot take a larger share of the workload as a result. Fantasy managers should consider Stevenson on the RB2/3 borderline in a tough matchup against the Saints. So far through four weeks, he has 60 rushing attempts for 164 yards and a touchdown while catching 12 passes for 87 yards on 16 targets.
