Stevenson had injury issues last year, playing 12 games because of a high-ankle sprain. He was 35th overall in fantasy running back scoring. He did have two games with 20-plus fantasy points and at least double-digit points seven of 12 games. He was pretty consistent in an offense that struggled much of the year. If he plays a full season, Stevenson has 1,214 total yards, 54 receptions and six touchdowns. Stevenson should be the top back for the Patriots once again this season. Stevenson does well between the tackles and is tough to bring down with the ball in his hands. He makes plays after contact and has enough speed to make plays on the outside. He lacks some elusiveness, but can make up with that because of his size and speed. He also catches the ball well and is a legit three-down back.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Stevenson could improve on what has to be a better Patriots offense. This unit was a disaster last year, so look for Stevenson to post better numbers. He can be a low-end No. 1 fantasy back if all goes well for him. Stevenson can get around 1,500 total yards, 60 receptions and double-digit scores.
Following a strong 2022 season that saw him break into top-12 fantasy conversations at his position, New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson plodded his way to 4.0 yards per carry in 2023. Stevenson saw plenty of volume in New England's anemic offense, handling 16.3 touches per game over his 12 contests, but his 4.4 yards per touch demonstrated a lack of explosiveness that he showed in the year prior and removed much of his spiked-week potential. The 26-year-old former fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma registered a weekly finish as a top-eight fantasy back in full-PPR settings just three times out of his 12 appearances, totaling only 857 yards with four touchdowns on 196 touches and settling into weekly volume-driven RB2 territory while splitting work with incumbent veteran Ezekiel Elliott. Stevenson's ADP has come down on the heels of a disappointing campaign despite Elliott's departure, considering the Patriots brought in pass-catching specialist Antonio Gibson to likely serve as their primary third-down back in 2024. Much of Stevenson's production over the past two years has stemmed from his activity in the passing game, leaving the fourth-year player as once again a volume-based RB2 option in the dead-zone range of the middle rounds of drafts.

Dynasty | The Patriots have signed running back Rhamondre Stevenson to a contract extension. Dynasty Analysis: New England is giving Stevenson $17 million in guaranteed money, which also includes an $8 million signing bonus and $12 million more possible with incentives. In other words, he's the starter moving forward. This is a hefty sum of money to give a running back, especially one who struggled at times last year. Regardless, this contract makes him the seventh highest paid running back in football and cements him in as a RB2 for the foreseeable future.
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson agreed to a four-year, $36 million contract extension on Thursday, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $17 million guaranteed. While the team can get out of the deal early and less than half of it is guaranteed, this is still a sign that the organization views him as the clear leadback. The 26-year-old enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2022, racking up over 1,400 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns in 17 games. He was limited to just 12 games and 857 yards in 2023, but he should be healthy heading into his fourth pro season. While Antonio Gibson might get work behind him in the receiving game, both running backs could see plenty of targets given the weak group of pass-catchers Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett have to work with. Stevenson is likely an underpriced RB2 for 2024.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson told reporters on Monday he thinks he's "pretty close" to signing a contract extension with the organization. This could be good news for dynasty fantasy managers with the 26-year-old on their rosters, especially after a down year in 2023. The former fourth-round pick entered last year's campaign as the clear starting running back for the first time in his career, but he was limited to just 12 games due to injury. Overall, he tallied 156 rushes for 619 yards and four touchdowns to go along with 38 receptions (51 targets) for 238 yards. If New England re-signs him before Week 1, it'll likely mean he's further ahead of Antonio Gibson on the depth chart than many realize. Gibson, who has shown promise in his career but has failed to produce over the last few seasons, could eat into his receiving workload, but Stevenson remains the RB1 as things stand. The New England offense will likely be one of the worst units in the NFL, so his upside is likely capped in 2024.
From RotoBaller
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson said he wants to be the team's featured back in 2024 as he gets set to enter the final year of his rookie deal. In his third year in the NFL, a high-ankle sprain limited the 25-year-old to just 12 games. In 156 rushing attempts, he averaged a career-low 4.0 yards per carry for 619 yards and four touchdowns, adding 38 receptions on 51 targets for 238 yards through the air. He was essentially New England's lead back before getting hurt, albeit in an offense that was among the worst in the league because of quarterback issues. Stevenson should be able to bounce back with better health in 2024 after accumulating 1,400 scrimmage yards in 2022, but what the Patriots do at QB will have a big effect on his fantasy upside.
