Rhamondre Stevenson Week 3 Outlook - Patriots at Jets

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 21st 2023, 8:57am EDT

Stevenson has been the Patriots' bell-cow, playing 73% of the snaps weekly, averaging 18 touches and 74.5 total yards as the RB13 in fantasy. Stevenson has not looked like himself so far this season. He has the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt and the 17th-lowest elusive rating. This isn't the fault of the Patriots' offensive line either, as they are ninth-best in yards before contact per attempt. He has been up to snuff in the passing game, though he ranks 17th in receiving grade and 14th in YPRR. Temper your expectations for Stevenson this week with his struggling play and a tough matchup. New York is 16th in stuff rate but also has given up the sixth-lowest missed tackles per attempt and the fourth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 3 Positional Value: volume-driven low-end RB1/high-end RB2
