New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missed Week 11's Thursday Night Football matchup against the New York Jets, and proceeded to watch rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson score three touchdowns and combine for 93 all-purpose yards, which was a career night for the rookie running back. This was after Henderson rushed for 147 yards in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and scored twice in that game as well, while Stevenson was sidelined. Due to the nature of how Henderson has broken out, it raises the question of what Stevenson's role will be when he returns. At this time, it's too early to assume that Henderson will completely take over, given Patriots' head coach Mike Vrabel's feelings about Stevenson in the running game. Still, Henderson may be forcing Vrabel's hand in making him the starter, given the results he has put up over the past two weeks. Regardless, Henderson clearly has the upside over Stevenson and appears to be the running back you want in New England, but given the overall effectiveness of the Patriots' offense, whoever gets a majority of the touches will be fantasy relevant.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday night against the New York Jets, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Stevenson will miss his third consecutive game due to the toe injury suffered in Week 8 against the Browns, setting up rookie TreVeyon Henderson for another workhorse role in Week 11. Henderson finally broke out in Week 10 at Tampa Bay, handling 14 carries for 147 yards and breaking off two long touchdowns. ESPN's Dan Graziano suspects that Stevenson will reclaim his role as the Patriots' primary runner between the tackles when he is healthy enough to return, which could come in Week 12. Henderson should be fired up as a borderline RB1 for Thursday night, with Terrell Jennings (knee) questionable as well.

ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks that New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) will "reclaim his former roles as the Patriots' main between-the-tackles runner" when he's healthy. Stevenson injured his toe in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns and has missed the last two games. The Pats entered the week with hope that he'd return for Thursday night's game against the division-rival New York Jets, but as of Tuesday night, "it looked as if that return would likely have to wait until Week 12." Rookie TreVeyon Henderson went over 100 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns in the Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the Patriots "still trust the veteran Stevenson more in certain spots and would like to continue using both of them." It's not great news for Henderson's fantasy managers, but Graziano also adds that New England could look to incorporate the rookie more once Stevenson is back.

For the second straight day, New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was listed as limited in practice on Tuesday with a toe injury that has kept him from playing in the last two games, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Fellow RB Terrell Jennings (knee) was also limited for a second straight day, while rookie second-rounder TreVeyon Henderson (knee) upraded to a full-go. At the very least, the Pats should have Henderson in their backfield in Thursday night's divisional clash against the New York Jets, but it's unclear yet if Stevenson or Jennings will be able to suit up. Before his toe injury in Week 8, the 27-year-old Stevenson was seeing most of New England's backfield work, despite his ball-security issues. However, after Henderson broke out with a 100-plus-yard rushing game and two rushing TDs in the Week 10 win over Tampa, the tide could be shifting in their backfield. Stevenson could take a back seat to Henderson on a short week if he's active this week.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was listed as limited on the team's estimated practice report on Monday. Stevenson missed the last two games after injuring his toe in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns. It's good news that he's listed as limited, but he could very well miss a third straight game on a short week with the team taking on the division-rival New York Jets this Thursday night. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson (knee) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were also listed as limited, so New England's backfield is pretty banged up going into Week 11. We may not have more clarity on this situation until Wednesday or Thursday, which makes the 27-year-old Henderson a pretty shaky RB option for fantasy managers this week.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is ruled out for Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Stevenson will miss a second straight game after injuring his toe in the Week 8 victory over the Cleveland Browns. He has yet to practice since the injury, which means he could be on his way to a third straight missed game on a short week for next Thursday's divisional contest against the New York Jets. With Stevenson officially out again, rookie TreVeyon Henderson will be in line for lead-back duties again this Sunday in Tampa, with Terrell Jennings backing him up. The 23-year-old Henderson will be in play as a plug-and-play RB2 in fantasy lineups. Last week, with Stevenson out, he had a season-high 14 carries for 55 yards and also caught a season-high four passes on six targets for 32 yards.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is working off to the side during Friday's practice and is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Stevenson has been unable to practice since suffering a toe injury in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, and he's on track to miss a second straight game this weekend. And with a short week upcoming for a tilt next Thursday night against the division-rival New York Jets, Stevenson may be fighting an uphill battle to be ready to play in Week 11. With Rhambo likely to sit against the Buccaneers, rookie TreVeyon Henderson will once again have an expanded role, but Terrell Jennings could once again see valuable touches out of the Pats' backfield. Even with Jennings involved, Henderson will have RB2 upside in fantasy with Stevenson likely out for another week.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday ahead of the team's matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stevenson missed last week's matchup with the Falcons, which led the way to a breakout performance for TreVeyon Henderson. Stevenson is trending in the wrong direction for this week's matchup, making Henderson a must-start this week. Look for the Patriots to mix their rookie back into the passing game to maximize touches for their electric weapon. Stevenson owners should continue to watch injury reports throughout the weekend.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) will not practice on Wednesday, per Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. Stevenson came down with a toe injury in the team's Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, wasn't able to practice last week, and was held out of the one-point win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. It looks like Stevenson hasn't made much progress, putting him in danger of missing a second straight contest when New England takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road this Sunday. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson handled 75% of the offensive snaps against Atlanta with Stevenson sidelined, carrying the ball a season-high 14 times for 55 yards while catching four of six targets for 32 yards. Terrell Jennings saw a 25% snap share and surprisingly had 11 totes for 35 yards and one touchdown out of the backfield.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) will not play on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. This was the likely result after Stevenson failed to practice all week after picking up a toe injury in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson had another fumble last week, but he also broke out with 75 rushing yards against a good Cleveland defense, and he'll be firmly in play as an RB2 for fantasy managers this weekend against Atlanta with Stevenson officially out. It's unclear if Stevenson will be on track to return for a Week 10 date against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, but he will definitely need to get back on the practice field first. Henderson will serve as New England's clear-cut RB1 for the first time this weekend, with Terrell Jennings expected to back him up.

There was no sign of New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) at Friday's practice, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Stevenson has yet to practice this week and is now unlikely to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. He has yet to officially be ruled out, but that's likely coming later on Friday, so fantasy managers should be moving Stevenson to their benches for the week, if they haven't already done so. With Stevenson likely sidelined this weekend, rookie TreVeyon Henderson should get his first real opportunity to be the Patriots' RB1, with Terrell Jennings expected to be elevated into the backup/change-of-pace role in the backfield. Henderson, the team's second-rounder in April out of Ohio State, has had ball-security issues through his first eight NFL games. However, with the boost in volume coming this Sunday, he will be in play as an RB2 in fantasy lineups.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) did not return to practice on Thursday, putting his status firmly up in the air for Sunday's contest against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. Stevenson didn't play in the last seven minutes of the Week 8 blowout win over the Cleveland Browns, and now we know why. The 27-year-old will need to get back on the practice field on Friday to avoid being ruled out entirely for Sunday's game. With Stevenson's status in doubt in Week 9, rookie TreVeyon Henderson could be in line for his first game with lead-back duties for the Patriots, which would make him a plug-and-play RB2 in fantasy football lineups. If Stevenson is inactive this weekend, Terrell Jennings would be asked to back up Henderson in the backfield. Fantasy managers who have been starting Stevenson need to have a backup plan in place this week.

From RotoBaller

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is on the Week 9 injury report due to a toe injury that kept him from practicing on Wednesday. It's unclear if his toe injury is serious enough to keep him from playing this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, but it's worth noting that Stevenson didn't play in the final seven minutes of the Week 8 blowout win over the Cleveland Browns. It will be a situation that should be monitored closely this week. If Stevenson is limited or unable to play this weekend, rookie TreVeyon Henderson would be a must-start with RB2 upside as New England's lead back. Despite ball-security issues, Stevenson has remained the Pats' primary RB in 2025, but his toe injury could open the door for Henderson to take over going forward.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was not seen on the practice field on Wednesday during the portion open to the media, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. It's unclear exactly why Stevenson wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday, but it's worth noting that he wasn't on the field for the final seven minutes of the fourth quarter in Sunday's blowout win over the Cleveland Browns. The 27-year-old played 72% of the offensive snaps in Week 8 and had 49 total yards on 15 touches. Fantasy managers will want to check back in later to see if Stevenson is dealing with an injury as the team begins preparations for a Week 9 tilt against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. If he is limited in any way this weekend or out altogether, rookie TreVeyon Henderson would finally be in line for a heavy workload as the team's RB1.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will look to build on last week's big game as he takes on the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. Stevenson is coming off one of his best games of the year as he posted a season-high 18 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old seemed to widen the gap between him and TreVeyon Henderson on the depth chart, leaving the rookie as nothing more than a bench stash in redraft leagues. Stevenson, on the other hand, has high-end RB2 upside, but he'll need to find success against a stingy run defense. The Browns have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, leaving him in the high-end RB3/flex tier for now.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has solidified himself as the clear workhorse in the backfield. Through seven games, Stevenson has totaled 69 carries for 245 yards and three touchdowns, while adding 15 receptions for 154 yards through the air. He showcased his trademark power running style in Week 7, rumbling for 88 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries against the Tennessee Titans. Many expected rookie TreVeyon Henderson to see an expanded role following Antonio Gibson's season-ending knee injury, but that hasn't materialized. Over the last two games, Stevenson has dominated the workload, playing 77% of the snaps, compared to Henderson's 15%. While Stevenson remains the lead back, fantasy managers should still proceed with caution, as any given week could feature a change in the backfield rotation, especially with the team's second-round investment in Henderson. For Week 8, Stevenson projects as a high-end RB3 against the Cleveland Browns, who boast one of the toughest run defenses in the league.
