Rhamondre Stevenson Still Limited On Thursday

Rhamondre Stevenson Still Limited On Thursday

one year ago

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Stevenson remains up in the air to play in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, but he'll have a much better chance of suiting up on Sunday if he's able to put in a full practice on Friday. If the 25-year-old is active this weekend, he should remain the Patriots' top back, although veteran Ezekiel Elliott has cut into his workload a bit more the last couple of weeks. So far, Stevenson has been a disappointment for his fantasy managers, averaging just 2.7 yards per carry while racking up 164 yards and one rushing touchdown on 60 carries. He's also heading into a difficult matchup this Sunday against a Saints defense allowing only 12.8 half-PPR points per game to the RB position.
