Rushes for 801 yards this season
Stevenson finished the 2024 regular season with 207 carries for 801 yards and seven TDs to go along with 33 catches (on 41 targets) for 168 yards and another score in 15 games.
Analysis: Stevenson suited up for the Patriots' season finale Sunday, but was rested by the team, which led to Antonio Gibson leading the backfield in Week 18. Stevenson is under contract with New England through 2028, so he's set to reprise his lead role in 2025. After recording one fumble in 12 contests during the 2023 campaign, Stevenson logged seven fumbles (three lost) in 2024. Though that was a concerning trend, the running back likely will try to make tightening things up on that front a priority…read more

Starts but barely plays
Stevenson started against the Chargers on Saturday but carried the ball only twice for one yard in the Patriots' 40-7 loss.
Analysis: The Patriots indicated that they would bench Stevenson for Antonio Gibson on Saturday and more or less did -- Gibson saw 12 carries to Stevenson's two -- yet they bizarrely had Stevenson open the game as the starter, apparently in a ceremonial capacity. It's not clear what the Patriots meant to accomplish by doing that, but the result either way is that Stevenson has uncertain standing as the Patriots prepare to face the Bills in Week 18. Gibson did well with the workload, running for 63 yards,…read more

In line to cede start to Gibson
Stevenson won't start at running back for the Patriots in Saturday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: In the wake of his recent fumbling issues, Stevenson is slated to give way to fellow RB Antonio Gibson, at least in terms of Saturday's start. That said, we'd still expect Stevenson to see his share of work versus the Chargers, but his ball security issues of late could lead to Gibson logging a higher percentage of New England's backfield snaps compared to his usual in Week 17.

Could cede start to Gibson
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo suggested Monday that Stevenson could give way to Antonio Gibson as the team's starting running back in Week 17 against the Chargers, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: In his first 13 appearances of the season, Stevenson had received more snaps than Gibson in all but two of those contests, but the playing time tilted in Gibson's favor during Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills. Stevenson took the field for 32 of New England's 73 plays on offense, finishing with 60 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries to go with a 13-yard reception. However, he lost his third fumble of the season, and he also dropped a backward pass from Drake Maye that was recovered in the end…read more

First TD since Week 9
Stevenson rushed the ball 12 times for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills. He added one reception on one target for 13 yards.
Analysis: Stevenson continued to see his workload decrease thanks to more involvement in the offense for Antonio Gibson. However, he took advantage of his opportunities with the ball, highlighted by a pair of 14-yard rushes -- one of which concluded in a trip to the end zone after he bowled over a Buffalo defender. That marked his first touchdown since Week 9. However, those positives were overshadowed by a miscue early in the fourth quarter on a backward pass that was partially mishandled by Stevenson,…read more

Gains 69 yards on 13 carries
Stevenson ran the ball 13 times for 69 yards and caught his lone target for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to Arizona.
Analysis: Stevenson spearheaded the Patriots' rushing attack Sunday, grinding out 85 total yards for fantasy mangers in yet another loss. The Oklahoma product received double-digit carries for sixth time over his last seven appearances while backup Antonio Gibson chipped in seven rushing attempts for 33 yards. Stevenson has quietly posted a decent fantasy campaign (193-740-6) despite being a north-south runner on an 11-loss team. Things won't get any easier for Stevenson and the Patriots as the team…read more

Falls just short of century mark
Stevenson carried the ball 18 times for 73 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: It was a solid performance from Stevenson, but his numbers would have been even better had Antonio Gibson not vultured a red-zone touchdown on an 11-yard run midway through the fourth quarter. Stevenson has gone seven straight games without reaching 80 rushing yards in a game, and the Patriots' offensive line woes have limited him to a rough 3.1 yards per carry over that stretch. The team's entire offense will get a breather, and a chance to solve some of its issues, over a Week 14 bye.

Shut down by Dolphins in loss
Stevenson rushed eight times for 13 yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Stevenson's final line underscores how futile his efforts on the ground were, especially considering he gained nine of his yards on one carry. The thoroughly unproductive afternoon featured a season-low rushing yardage total for Stevenson, who'd cleared 70 rushing yards in each of his previous two games. Game script also limited Stevenson's opportunities to a notable degree, but he should have a solid chance of getting back to a normal workload in a Week 13 home matchup against the Colts.

Gets 24 touches in Week 11
Stevenson rushed 20 times for 73 yards and caught all four of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Stevenson surpassed 70 rushing yards for the second consecutive game and the fifth time in 10 appearances this season. He isn't much of a contributor in the passing game, but Stevenson usually gets hefty workloads on the ground as long as the 3-8 Patriots aren't getting blown out, as this was the fifth time he recorded at least 20 rushing attempts in a game this season. Stevenson should remain heavily involved in Week 12 against a Dolphins defense that's been more vulnerable on the ground than…read more

Best yardage total since Week 5
Stevenson carried the ball 20 times for 74 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
Analysis: After eking out just 82 rushing yards total over the prior three games, Stevenson nearly matched that mark Sunday, although his longest gain went for only 11 yards. However, after scoring four TDs in the last two contests, he failed to get into the end zone this time around. Stevenson's 3.8 yards per carry this season is a career low, but he's already scored a career-high seven touchdowns through nine games while amassing 614 scrimmage yards. He'll try to hit paydirt again in Week 11 against…read more

Two trips to end zone
Stevenson rushed the ball 10 times for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans. He added five receptions on five targets for 38 yards and another touchdown.
Analysis: Stevenson comfortably led the Patriots' backfield in touches, though the team ran a pass-heavy offense, which led to limited volume. He couldn't get much going on the ground, though he did manage a one-yard touchdown plunge midway through the third quarter. Stevenson was more effective as a pass catcher, with his biggest contribution coming on a five-yard touchdown reception as time expired to send the game to overtime. Stevenson has been held below 3.0 yards per carry in three consecutive…read more

Two rushing TDs in Week 8 win
Stevenson rushed 20 times for 48 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets. He also caught a successful two-point conversion.
Analysis: Stevenson scored a three-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, which he set up with a 14-yard catch on the preceding play. He added the game-winning score from one yard out with 22 seconds left in the fourth, with a two-point conversion through the air serving as the cherry on top of Stevenson's second touchdown run. Stevenson's averaging a middling 4.1 yards per carry but has five rushing touchdowns heading into a Week 9 road game against the 1-6 Titans. It remains to be seen if Jacoby…read more

Stevenson (foot/personal) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday paves the way for him to continue to lead New England's backfield Sunday against the Jets. In his return from a one-game absence in last weekend's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, Stevenson carried seven times for 18 yards and added two catches on three targets for seven yards. Now that he's further removed from the foot issue that sidelined him, Stevenson could see his touches increase this weekend, with the Patriots…read more

Stevenson (foot/personal) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: The foot injury has been a lingering concern for Stevenson, but it's unclear whether the health concern or his tending to a personal matter that had a greater hand in keeping him off the practice field. Regardless, a clearer idea on Stevenson's status for Sunday's game against the Jets should arrive Thursday, when New England holds its second practice of the week.

Limited impact in loss
Stevenson rushed the ball seven times for 18 yards in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars. He added two receptions on three targets for seven yards.
Analysis: Stevenson returned from a one-game absence to lead the New England backfield as a rusher, though both his volume and effectiveness were muted -- the latter of which was caused by game script. Most concerning was JaMycal Hasty's involvement as a pass catcher, which cut into Stevenson's overall role in the offense. Stevenson should be more productive moving forward due to the improved performance of the New England offense, but he has now been held under 50 rushing yards in three of his last four…read more

Analysis: After sitting out the Week 6 loss to the Texans with the foot injury, Stevenson failed to practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he turned a corner by putting in a full session Friday en route to carrying a questionable tag into the weekend. Stevenson avoided any setbacks leading up to Sunday and will presumably return to his typical starting role, though the extent of his workload isn't known.

Fantasy managers planning on using Stevenson will still want to confirm that he's active for the contest, with the Patriots set to reveal their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff.

Head coach Jerod Mayo called Stevenson a "game-time decision," so it looks like his status could come down to the wire.

Analysis: Stevenson is missing a fifth straight practice session as the Patriots prepare to travel to London for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. With Friday representing Stevenson's last chance to log any practice activity before Week 7 action, it sounds like Antonio Gibson is trending toward drawing another start, with JaMycal Hasty available behind him.

Analysis: Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his continued absence is concerning ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Per Reiss, coach Jerod Mayo noted that Stevenson's foot injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern, but if the running back is out this weekend, Antonio Gibson would be in line for the Week 6 start, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve and practice-squad members Terrell Jennings and Kevin Harris candidates for elevation.

Misses practice with foot injury
Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot issue, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Stevenson briefly left this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins with what was referred to as a calf injury, which he downplayed afterward. Evidently, Stevenson is past that issue, but the running back is now tending to a foot concern ahead of this weekend's game against the Texans. Stevenson has two more chances to practice ahead of the contest, but unless he upgrades to full participation by Friday, he'll head into Sunday with an injury designation.

Bounces back after brief demotion
Stevenson rushed 12 times for 89 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for three yards in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Stevenson didn't open the game as a starter due to his early-season fumbling issues, but he was ultimately able to put together his most impressive showing since his 120-yard, one-touchdown effort in Week 1. Stevenson rattled off a game-long 33-yard run for a touchdown late in the first quarter for the Patriots' first points, and he averaged just over 5.0 yards per carry on his other 11 totes.

Fumbles away starting gig
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Friday that Stevenson will not start at running back in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Antonio Gibson will get a turn as the Patriots' lead back Week 5 while the 26-year-old Stevenson slides down a spot on the depth chart after fumbling in each of the Patriots' first four games. According to Mayo, Stevenson is still in line to remain in the game plan versus Miami. Gibson has seen just 29 carries to Stevenson's 65 through four games, but the former is averaging 5.3 yards per tote to Stevenson's 4.1 average.

Could lose starting gig
Head coach Jerod Mayo said Wednesday that having Antonio Gibson start over Stevenson this Sunday against the Dolphins is "under consideration" due to Stevenson's fumbling issues, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Through the Patriots' first four games this season, Stevenson has logged 65 carries to Gibson's 29, but Stevenson has fumbled four times. With that in mind, it's possible that Stevenson's recent ball-security issues could affect his workload to a degree in Week 5. Even in such a scenario, Stevenson wouldn't be expected to be phased out of the game plan entirely versus Miami.

Leads poor rushing attack Sunday
Stevenson rushed 13 times for 43 yards while catching four of five targets for 19 receiving yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Stevenson got back up to double-digit carries after struggling off of six rushes in a Week 3 loss to the Jets. The veteran starter didn't produce big results with his 18 combined touches Sunday, also losing his second fumble in as many weeks.

Disappointing night in Week 3 loss
Stevenson rushed six times for 23 yards and lost a fumble in the Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.
Analysis: Game script and a stingy Jets defense conspired to limit Stevenson to his lowest numbers of the season through three games. Stevenson had eclipsed 20 carries in each of his first two contests, and in addition to not getting anywhere close to that workload Thursday, the fourth-year back's early fourth-quarter lost fumble at the Patriots' 35-yard line led to a New York field goal that essentially sealed New England's fate.

Analysis: The Patriots remained run heavy, and Stevenson topped 20 carries for the second straight game to begin the season. He couldn't replicate his efficiency from Week 1, but he did punch in a one-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter and had two rushes that went for more than 10 yards. Stevenson has struggled to produce as a receiver and should be projected to lose work in that area to Antonio Gibson, though he has still racked up eight targets through two contests.

Stars in Week 1 upset victory
Stevenson rushed 25 times for 120 yards and a touchdown while bringing in all three targets for six yards in the Patriots' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.
Analysis: At least for Week 1, new Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was able to play his preferred brand of football, with game script allowing Stevenson to function in an old-school workhorse role to help grind out a low-scoring victory.

Stevenson was among the Patriots' key starters who got the night off in the team's preseason finale against the Commanders on Sunday, Mike Dussault of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: As the coming season approaches, the fourth-year pro's role as New England's lead back is secure, so Sunday's contest was an opportunity for the coaching staff to get a look at Kevin Harris, JaMycal Hasty, Terrell Jennings and Deshaun Fenwick, who are competing for slotting behind Stevenson and Antonio Gibson.

Could benefit from new offense
Stevenson said Tuesday that he believes that he will benefit from the outside zone scheme for Patriots running backs that new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt is implementing this season, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. "Yeah, it could benefit any running back. It's my favorite scheme, to be honest with you," Stevenson said. "Outside zones, that's what I like and that's what were running."
Analysis: Stevenson notes that Van Pelt's scheme is the same one he worked in while in college at Oklahoma. As the regular season approaches, Stevenson -- who was slowed by injuries last season -- is healthy and looks rejuvenated, according to Daniels. While working in a scheme that he's comfortable in, and with the Patriots likely to lean heavily on the run with the team transitioning at the quarterback position, Stevenson could be poised for a bounce back in 2024, as the focal point of a backfield…read more

Analysis: Per Schefter, Stevenson's deal is for $36 million, of which $17 million is reportedly guaranteed. The move to extend the 2021 fourth-rounder beyond his current pact solidifies the Patriots backfield ahead of Jerod Mayo's first season as head coach, and with the team transitioning at the QB position, look for Stevenson and fellow RB Antonio Gibson to be key drivers of New England's offense in 2024.

Stevenson said Monday on the first day of mandatory minicamp that he and the Patriots are "pretty close" to terms on a new contract extension, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Stevenson said he's "trying to get the deal done and get it locked in" and that ongoing offseason negotiations are "not frustrating, but it's just a long process." As Stevenson enters the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, New England is looking ahead to a new era under coach Jerod Mayo, with quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye atop the depth chart. Keeping Stevenson under contract long-term would provide the team some stability on offense, especially with Ja'Lynn Polk, K.J.…read more

Continues to lead backfield
Following the NFL draft, Stevenson heads a New England running back corps that also includes newcomer Antonio Gibson, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Ezekiel Elliott who actually led the Patriots with 642 rushing yards (on 184 carries) in 17 regular-season games in 2023 because Stevenson (619 yards on 156 carries) missed five contests, has signed on with the Cowboys, which leaves Kevin Harris, JaMycal Hasty, Ke'Shawn Vaughn and UDFA addition DeShaun Fenwick to compete for depth slotting behind Stevenson and Gibson. Now presumably past the ankle issue that landed him on IR last December, Stevenson is poised to reclaim his role as a…read more

Close to full strength
Stevenson (ankle) recently said he's "feeling great" and would be able to play in a game if the Patriots had one coming up, Nicole Yang of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Stevenson has been going to physical therapy four or five times per week since missing the final five games of 2023 with a high-ankle injury. It sounds like he'll be ready for the start of the offseason program, heading into the fourth and final year of his rookie contract. Stevenson said he plans to speak to new coach Jerod Mayo and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt about his desire to handle a clear lead role in the backfield, after rotating with Damien Harris in 2022 and Ezekiel Elliott in…read more

Lands on IR
The Patriots placed Stevenson (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: With the Patriots eliminated from playoff contention, Stevenson -- who last played in Week 13 -- will be shut down for the final two games of the season as he continues his recovery from a right high-ankle sprain. Ezekiel Elliott is slated to lead the team's backfield in Weeks 17 and 18, with Kevin Harris serving as his top understudy and JaMycal Hasty on hand in reserve. Stevenson wraps up his third NFL season with 156 carries for 619 yards (4.0 average) and four touchdowns to go with 38…read more

Still not practicing
Stevenson (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Given that Stevenson wasn't participating in what Lazar described as a light walk-through session Wednesday, the running back's status for Sunday's game against the Bills remains cloudy. Stevenson has already missed three straight contests, and if he remains out this weekend, Ezekiel Elliott would be in store for another turn as New England's lead back.

Stevenson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Stevenson didn't practice at all this week and is thus slated to miss his third straight game Sunday. In his continued absence, Ezekiel Elliott will once again serve as New England's lead back. Stevenson's next chance to suit up will come Dec. 31 against the Bills in Week 17.

Ruled out for Sunday
Stevenson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Stevenson hasn't practiced since injuring his ankle and now will miss a second straight game. Ezekiel Elliott played 91 percent of snaps in last Thursday's 21-18 win over the Steelers, taking 29 touches for 140 yards and a touchdown on a night when QB Bailey Zappe was the only other Patriot with a rush attempt.

Analysis: Stevenson was listed as a non-participant on all three of the Patriots' practice reports last week before being ruled out ahead of Thursday's win over the Steelers. His continued absence from practice for the Patriots' first session of Week 15 prep seemingly puts him at risk of missing another game Sunday versus the Chiefs.

Stevenson is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain that will require him to miss multiple games, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Stevenson suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers. Further tests have since reportedly revealed a high-ankle sprain, which essentially guarantees he will miss Thursday's game against the Steelers, although the Patriots haven't yet officially confirmed the severity of Stevenson's injury.

Stevenson may be in line to miss time due to the ankle injury that he sustained during Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Stevenson remained on the turf after coughing up a fumble on the Patriots' second drive of the game. He was favoring his right leg as he made his way to the locker room, and the Patriots eventually termed it an ankle injury, which didn't allow him to return. Stevenson had nine carries for 39 yards and one catch for no yards when he departed, and while X-rays returned negative, an upcoming MRI is expected to reveal a sprain, per Howe.

Initial X-rays on Stevenson's right ankle were negative and the belief is that the running back's MRI will reveal a sprain, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic.
Analysis: The results of Stevenson's MRI thus loom large, but with the Patriots on a short week and playing again Thursday against the Steelers, the running back's Week 14 status is cloudy. If Stevenson is unavailable versus Pittsburgh, added backfield touches will be on tap for Ezekiel Elliott, with Ty Montgomery and JaMycal Hasty available in reserve.

Stevenson, who injured his right ankle during Sunday's game against the Chargers, won't return to the contest.
Analysis: Before being forced out of the game, Stevenson had carried nine times for 39 yards and caught one pass for zero yards.

Analysis: On the Patriots' second possession of the contest, Stevenson lost a fumble on a carry and remained on the turf for a spell. He then was assisted to the locker room, skipping the sideline medical tent entirely. With JaMycal Hasty a healthy scratch Sunday, Ezekiel Elliott and Ty Montgomery are the Patriots' remaining available running backs.

Tops 100 total yards again
Stevenson rushed 21 times for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants. He added five receptions on seven targets for nine yards.
Analysis: Stevenson was the bright spot of the New England offense and was relied upon heavily to move the ball. As a result, both his carry and yardage total on the ground were his highest marks of the season in a performance highlighted by a long gain of 15 yards and a seven-yard rushing score. Though Stevenson was inefficient as a pass catcher, he was heavily involved as a receiver, and he did enough to top 100 total yards for the third consecutive game.

Tops century mark in loss
Stevenson carried the ball 20 times for 88 yards and caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The running back has found his stride from a fantasy perspective, topping 80 rushing yards and 100 scrimmage yards in back-to-back games, but Stevenson needed big volume to hit those numbers against DeForest Buckner and the Indy front seven as his longest gain went for only 10 yards. Stevenson will get a week to rest up during the Patriots' bye before facing a very vulnerable Giants squad in Week 12.

Analysis: Stevenson carried 16 times for 76 yards and caught two of four targets for nine yards before he appeared to tweak his lower back in the fourth quarter, per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. The Patriots aren't yet willing to rule Stevenson out, and he'll continue to be evaluated by team trainers before a decision is made on whether he's fit to check back into the contest during the final quarter.

Rips off 64-yard TD in loss
Stevenson rushed nine times for 87 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Stevenson came in without a run longer than 15 yards this season, but he broke free for a 64-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to give the Patriots a 14-10 lead. Despite Stevenson's effectiveness, New England curiously went with a pass-heavy approach, as Mac Jones threw the ball 44 times for just 220 yards.

Stevenson rushed 10 times for 39 yards and secured two of four targets for 11 yards in the Patriots' 31-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Stevenson turned in some serviceable production relative to his amount of opportunities, but New England's ground game wasn't much of a priority as the second half unfolded and the Dolphins began to increase their lead. Stevenson outpaced backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott by three carries, yet neither back figures to have a chance for a true game-breaking performance as long as the passing game continues to mostly be inconsistent and the division of labor in the ground attack is similarly split.

Stevenson had exited the game earlier to be checked out for head and ankle injuries, but the fact that the running back was not only able to return but make an impact suggests his status for Week 7 won't be in question.

Analysis: Stevenson drew even with Ezekiel Elliott in carries on the afternoon, but as his line shows, that didn't lead to any meaningful production. Stevenson's outlook for the day was muddled by the increasingly large deficit the Patriots incurred as the afternoon wore on to go with New England's almost complete inability to threaten teams through the air with either Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe.

Unremarkable against Dallas
Stevenson rushed the ball 14 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys. He added two receptions for 10 yards.
Analysis: The positive news for Stevenson is that he dominated work out of the New England backfield, accounting for 14 of 20 rushing attempts by the team's running backs. His production didn't measure up to that opportunity, however, as he was limited to a long gain of eight yards while averaging only 2.1 yards per carry. Overall, he's failed to top 65 total yards in three of four games this season to go along with only one touchdown.

After catching all nine of his targets through two games, Stevenson had trouble catching passes in slick conditions. The versatile Stevenson can play in all situations, and he should continue to lead New England's backfield in touches against the Cowboys in Week 4.

Productive as pass catcher
Stevenson rushed the ball 12 times for 25 yards in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles. He added six receptions on six targets for 64 yards.
Analysis: Stevenson led the Patriots' backfield in workload, racking up 18 total touches as compared to Ezekiel Elliott's 12. Neither produced much on the ground -- Elliott was more efficient -- but Stevenson shined as a pass catcher, particularly late in the game as New England was trying to catch up on the scoreboard. The split in workload between the backfield duo will be worth watching, but Stevenson should find slightly more room to work with in a Week 2 matchup against the Dolphins.

Analysis: Stevenson hasn't been listed on the Patriots' injury report this week, but his status is now worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. Added context regarding the running back's Week 1 standing should arrive once the team's Friday practice/injury report is posted.

Finds end zone Saturday
Stevenson rushed four times for 27 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Stevenson made his debut with the rest of the regulars Saturday, ripping off a 23-yard gain and scoring a touchdown as he lines up to start for New England this season. He did not record a catch but is reportedly expected to see plenty of passing game work after grabbing an unexpected 69 receptions last year. The bruising back also eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing threshold in his second season as pro in 2022. The signing of Ezekiel Elliott (DNP on Saturday) hurts Stevenson's fantasy value if…read more

Backfield depth added
The Patriots have added depth and experience to their backfield behind Stevenson by adding Ezekiel Elliott to the mix, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Although Stevenson remains to the team's top option at running back, the addition of Elliott gives the Patriots a proven veteran to handle complementary work and help ease their returning starter's workload. From a fantasy perspective, the presence of Elliott could cost Stevenson some work in early-down and short-yardage situations, but the 2021 fourth-rounder still should handle enough touches -- including in the team's passing game, per Lazar -- on a weekly basis to maintain lineup utility.…read more

Back in action Tuesday
Stevenson (rest) returned to practice Tuesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Per Zack Cox of NESN.com, Stevenson was limited to conditioning work Monday, but the Patriots' top RB is back at it Tuesday. At this stage, it appears as though the team plans to manage Stevenson's training camp workload, and when that happens added practice reps will be available for Kevin Harris, Pierre Strong, J.J. Taylor and, when healthy, Ty Montgomery (leg).

Limited Monday
Stevenson (undisclosed) spent most of Monday's practice running on the Patriots' lower rehab field,Paul Perillo of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Whether Stevenson is dealing with a minor injury or simply having his training camp reps monitored isn't clear, but his limitations Monday allowed Kevin Harris, Pierre Strong and J.J. Taylor to garner additional reps. It remains to be seen if the Patriots add veteran backfield depth, but for now the above trio, as well as Ty Montgomery (leg) -- once he returns to practice -- are in the mix to compete for complementary work behind Stevenson.

Continues to lead backfield
As training camp approaches, Stevenson remains on track to lead the Patriots backfield this coming season, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: With Damien Harris -- who logged 106 carries in 11 games in 2022 -- now with the Bills and offseason free-agent addition James Robinson having been let go in June after a short stint with New England, Stevenson profiles as the team's clear-cut top rushing option. It's still possible that veteran depth could be added to the mix, but as things stand Pierre Strong, Ty Montgomery, Kevin Harris and J.J. Taylor are in line to compete this summer for touches that don't go to Stevenson, who recorded…read more

Finishes with 1,461 scrimmage yards
Stevenson rushed six times for 54 yards and caught five of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Stevenson was far more effective than Damien Harris (13 carries for 48 yards), yet Harris got more rushing attempts in this must-win game. New England was eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. Stevenson's success in a workhorse role while Harris was out helped the second-year running back post 1,040 rushing yards and 421 receiving yards, along with six scrimmage touchdowns on 279 touches. Harris is set to be a free agent in 2023, so Stevenson could be in line for a substantial bump…read more

Limited to 10 touches in win
Stevenson rushed eight times for 42 yards and brought in two of four targets for nine yards in the Patriots' 23-21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Stevenson paced the Patriots' backfield in rushing yards on the afternoon, but returning position mate Damien Harris outpaced him by one carry, and more surprisingly, one catch as well. Stevenson is slated to work in a timeshare with Harris again in a key Week 18 divisional road matchup against the Bills that will help decide New England's playoff fate.

Stevenson (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Stevenson approached the contest listed as questionable after practicing in a limited fashion this past week, but he'll continue to play through an ankle issue he's managed over the last couple of games and is thus in line to maintain his key role in the Patriots' backfield versus Miami.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: It'd be a surprise if Stevenson sat out Sunday's game, though his status still is worth tracking ahead of New England's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he's able to play, Stevenson would figure to continue to handle a key role in the Patriots' Week 17 backfield, though he could lose some touches to Damien Harris (thigh/personal), who is set to return to from a four-game absence this weekend.

Poor all-around showing in loss
Stevenson rushed 13 times for 30 yards and brought in two of five targets for three yards in the Patriots' 22-18 loss to the Bengals on Saturday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Stevenson overcome his questionable designation due to an ankle injury, but he ultimately came up small for both the Patriots and fantasy managers in a critical spot. Stevenson was stymied by the Bengals' tough run defense consistently, and his fumble on Cincinnati's eight-yard line with under a minute remaining helped make New England's ultimately unsuccessful comeback attempt that much more difficult. Stevenson could be rejoined by backfield mate Damien Harris (thigh) for a Week 17 home…read more

Analysis: Stevenson was listed as questionable ahead of this past Sunday's loss to the Raiders but suited up and recorded 19 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown and two catches for minus-4 yards. He'll continue to play through his ankle issue Saturday, and barring any in-game setbacks, he'll continue to log the bulk of the work in a New England backfield that's still without Damien Harris (thigh), with rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris available to provide support.

Huge performance against Raiders
Stevenson carries the ball 19 times for 172 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The second-year back set a new career high in rushing yards for a game, topping the 161 yards he racked up against the Lions in Week 5 of this season, and Stevenson's 34-yard TD run late in the fourth quarter gave the Patriots a 24-17 lead, seemingly setting the team up for a win before a disastrous final minute.

Set up for big workload again
Stevenson appears poised to serve as the Patriots' clear lead back on early downs and passing downs with Damien Harris (thigh) ruled out for Thursday's game against Buffalo.
Analysis: Stevenson has been the lead back even when Harris is healthy, but the second-year pro has seen even more work when his teammate is out, averaging 15.4 carries and 6.4 targets in the five games Harris has missed or left early with an injury. The Bills present a tough matchup, but Stevenson's workload projection is among the best of all running backs for Week 13, and his involvement as a pass catcher keeps him somewhat protected against the game-script concerns that often plague bigger backs.

Both the catch and yardage totals were also career highs for the second-year back, who was a clear beneficiary of the back-and-forth nature of the contest.

A Harris hamstring injury earlier this season opened the door for Stevenson to take over the lead role, and the second-year running back hasn't relinquished it since, even with Harris back in the fold.

Analysis: Stevenson didn't get into the end zone, but that was about the only blemish on his otherwise stellar afternoon.

Stevenson ran for 47 yards on nine carries against Pittsburgh on Sunday, adding a four-yard catch on two targets.

Analysis: Rather than featuring Stevenson in the passing game following James White's retirement, the Patriots instead turned to Ty Montgomery, who scored the team's only touchdown from six yards out on one of his four targets. Stevenson's in a 50/50 platoon with Damien Harris on early downs, while Montgomery's locked in as the top backfield option in passing situations heading into the Patriots' Week 2 trip to Pittsburgh.

Could see more targets early on
Stevenson should get more work on passing downs if Ty Montgomery misses time with an ankle injury, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Montgomery emerged as the favorite for James White's old role, but it may now fall to Stevenson, at least temporarily, in addition to his normal work splitting carries with Damien Harris (undisclosed). The Patriots also might consider rookie Pierre Strong or a veteran free agent for the role, and it isn't yet clear how much time Montgomery might miss.

First RB in Friday
Stevenson rushed five times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game during the Patriots' 23-6 preseason loss to the Raiders on Friday night.
Analysis: While head coach Bill Belichick has complimented Stevenson's progress as a receiver this summer, the second-year back was utilized exclusively on the ground in the exhibition finale and was reasonably productive with his limited opportunity. Stevenson was the first running back in the game for the Patriots with Damien Harris (undisclosed) unavailable, essentially mirroring the co-lead-back role he's expected to hold in conjunction with the latter beginning with a Week 1 road AFC East showdown…read more

Could contribute as pass catcher
Stevenson's improvement with his passing game skills has impressed coach Bill Belichick, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports.
Analysis: Belichick noted that the 2021 fourth-rounder has made strides in blitz pickup and pass protection as well as route running, while adding that the 6-foot, 230-pounder has "good hands, catching the ball's never really been an issue." With that in mind, Stevenson -- who already is on track be part of the Patriots' early-down mix this season along with Damien Harris -- also could see his role as a pass catcher out of the New England backfield increase, with the team looking to fill the void created…read more

Quiet night against Carolina
Stevenson carried the ball twice for four yards and failed to catch his only target in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Damien Harris, Ty Montgomery and Stevenson rotated through the offense during the first half, but the latter's performance lagged behind the other two as Harris averaged 6.0 yards a carry on his limited touches, while Montgomery found his way into the end zone. Stevenson is coming off an impressive rookie season and has been touted as a breakout candidate with the potential to encroach on Harris' early-down role while also seeing snaps on passing downs; however, as in years past, the Patriots'…read more

Gets work in two-minute drill
Stevenson took snaps in the two-minute drill at Monday's practice, handling work that went to the recently retired James White the past few years, Chris Mason of MassLive reports.
Analysis: White's hip injury and subsequent retirement have left the Pats without an obvious passing-down back, though journeyman Ty Montgomery -- who has bounced between RB and WR during his career -- might have some appeal in the role. Stevenson, however, would offer more of a rushing threat, and his large frame might also make him a superior blocker once he's more comfortable with pass protection. Coach Bill Belichick has praised Stevenson's improvement in that area, so while Montgomery might be more…read more

Analysis: It's clear that Stevenson will be part of the Patriots' early-down mix this season along with Damien Harris, but for now the 2021 fourth-rounder is logging added third-down reps, with veteran change-of-pace back James White (hip) on the active/PUP list and rookie Pierre Strong dealing with an undisclosed injury. For his part, Stevenson notes that he feels "a lot more comfortable running routes and catching the football," adding that he "did a lot of that (during the offseason): running routes,…read more

Complements Harris in Year 1
Stevenson finished the 2021 regular season with 133 carries for 606 yards and five touchdowns to go along with 14 catches (on 18 targets) for 123 yards in 12 games.
Analysis: He added eight carries for 27 yards and four receptions for 33 yards in last weekend's blowout loss to the Bills in the wild-card round. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Stevenson, who wasn't much of a factor in the Patriots offense until Week 5, finished the regular season with an overall 24.7-percent snap share. He emerged as an early-down factor alongside No. 1 back Damien Harris, who handled a 36.2-percent share over the course of the season. As the 2022 campaign approaches, the two will…read more

Totals 60 yards in postseason loss
Stevenson rushed the ball eight times for 27 yards in Saturday's 47-17 wild-card round loss to Buffalo. He added four receptions for 33 yards.
Analysis: Stevenson was one of the few bright spots for New England, as he saw a substantial role as a pass catcher due to game script. The majority of his production did come with the game out of reach, though he still managed long receptions of 15 and 10 yards while matching his career high with four receptions. Stevenson progressively saw his workload increase throughout his rookie campaign, and he could be the primary backup to Damien Harris in 2022 should James White (hip) sign elsewhere as a free…read more

Stevenson (head) doesn't appear on the Patriots' injury report ahead of Saturday's wild-card game against the Bills.
Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Stevenson was limited to just nine snaps in the Patriots' Week 18 loss to the Dolphins on account of the head injury. Fortunately, Stevenson was able to check back into the contest, which suggested he passed all concussion tests. With no limitations Wednesday in the Patriots' first practice of the week, Stevenson is poised to continue to share early-down work this weekend with Damien Harris.

Five touches in Sunday's loss
Stevenson carried the ball four times for 34 yards and caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 33-24 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: He wound up finishing third in the Patriots' backfield in touches behind Damien Harris (15) and Brandon Bolden (nine) after missing a large part of the middle of the game with a head injury, but Stevenson was still very productive on the ground with the workload he did get. Assuming the injury isn't serious, he should be more involved in the offense Saturday in the wild-card round against the Bills, a defense he ran for 78 yards against on 24 carries in their first meeting this season.

Stevenson rushed 19 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots' 50-10 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: The rookie made a splashy return from a one-game absence due to COVID-19, helping carry the load after Damien Harris exited the game with a hamstring injury. Stevenson got into the end zone from one and six yards out in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, on his way to a career-high rushing yardage total.

Contained by Colts
Stevenson carried the ball 10 times for 36 yards and caught his lone target for four yards in Saturday's 27-17 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: With Damien Harris (hamstring) inactive, Stevenson took on lead back duties for the Pats but was mostly held in check and then saw his workload dwindle in the second half after New England fell behind early. It was a disappointing performance for Stevenson after the rookie had topped 60 rushing yards the last four times he saw double-digit carries. Even if Harris returns to the lineup in Week 16, both backs could be busy in a rematch with the Bills.

Analysis: Stevenson was slightly outplayed by Damien Harris (neck), who had 52 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 touches. The pair of running backs should continue to split carries in Week 13 against the Bills, though it's possible the Patriots will fall behind after playing from ahead for the past few weeks, in which case receiving back Brandon Bolden could carve out a larger role.

However, there was ample opportunity for both backs with New England enjoying a comfortable lead through most of the contest, and Stevenson ended up pacing the team in carries and rushing yards while averaging an impressive 5.8 yards per tote.

Analysis: With Harris out with a concussion, Stevenson logged 100 yards and two TDs on 20 carries while adding four catches for 14 yards on five targets in this past Sunday's win over the Browns. Now that Harris has returned from his one-game absence, he's presumably poised to reclaim his lead role, though Stevenson's strong effort in Week 10 figures to keep him involved in Thursday's game plan to some degree while Bolden handles a change-of-pace role.

Thrives in workhorse role
Stevenson ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries while adding four catches for 14 yards on five targets against Cleveland on Sunday.
Analysis: The Cleveland run defense had played well before this game, so it's impressive that the rookie fourth-round pick was able to carve out consistent yardage from start to finish in the 45-7 blowout victory. Stevenson might have played well enough to force more of a workload split with incumbent starter Damien Harris (concussion), who sat out Sunday. At minimum, Stevenson has proven he can carry the Patriots ground game if Harris misses any time in the future.

Logging another healthy scratch
Stevenson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: With James White (hip) on IR and Stevenson inactive, the Patriots' Week 4 backfield will be headed by Damien Harris, while Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor are candidates to absorb the bulk of White's vacated change-of-pace snaps.

Could rejoin backfield mix
With James White (hip) expected to miss the rest of the season, Stevenson is a candidate to reenter the Patriots' backfield mix after being a healthy inactive for the team's past two games, Matt Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: In the immediate aftermath of White's injury, it was Brandon Bolden -- normally a core special teamer -- who handled the bulk of the team's change-of-pace duties behind lead back Damien Harris. However, in the coming weeks as the Patriots look to fill the void created by White's absence, Stevenson and/or J.J. Taylor could have an opportunity to log extra snaps as well, especially if one or both can prove capable of handling blocking assignments. In any case, Stevenson seems likely to be active…read more

Inactive Sunday
Stevenson is is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: With Stevenson, who logged just one carry and a fumble in the Patriots' season opener, the odd man out in Week 2, J.J. Taylor - who was inactive last weekend - will draw into the team's lineup and work in a complementary role versus the Jets. Meanwhile, Damien Harris is in line to serve as New England's lead back and James White will handle pass-catching/change-of-pace duties.

Five snaps in Week 1
In his regular-season debut, Stevenson logged five of a possible 75 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Stevenson recorded just one carry for two yards and one catch for nine yards in the contest, while also losing a fumble. Meanwhile, top back Damien Harris logged 40 snaps and ran 23 times for 100 yards and caught two passes for 17 yards, with a fumble of his own. For his part, change-of-pace back James White (28 snaps) carried four times for 12 yards and hauled in six of his seven targets for 49 yards. For now, Stevenson's complementary role is evolving, and Reiss suggests that come Week 2,…read more

Not on injury report
Stevenson (thumb) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 1 injury report.
Analysis: Jeff Howe of The Athletic previously noted that Stevenson dislocated his thumb during practice last week, but the 2021 fourth-round pick looks like he'll be available for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins. Though the Patriots in the past have tended to ease rookie backs into the equation, Stevenson -- who possesses a nice blend of power and nimble feet -- has a chance to mix in on early downs and perhaps short-yardage situations behind top option Damien Harris.

Recovering from thumb injury
Stevenson suffered a dislocated thumb in practice last week, but the Patriots have some optimism the rookie will be available for Sunday's season opener versus the Dolphins, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The six-foot, 231-pound back looks like a candidate to serve as a short-yardage/goal-line option for the Patriots to begin the season after the team released quarterback Cam Newton and traded Sony Michel to the Rams, but Stevenson's thumb injury suddenly threatens his availability for Week 1. Though the Patriots believe he might be OK for the season opener, Stevenson will have to prove in practice this week that the thumb issue doesn't affect his ability to securely handle or catch the…read more

Scores once again
Stevenson rushed five times for 23 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 22-20 preseason win over the Giants.
Analysis: Stevenson capped his excellent preseason with another standout performance. Although he failed on a two-point conversion attempt in the third quarter, Stevenson responded by scoring from nine yards on New England's next drive. The rookie fourth-rounder now will aim to keep his considerable momentum going in Week 1 against the Dolphins, when he'll likely be the Patriots' second rushing option behind Damien Harris.

Moves up to second string
Stevenson took the second handoff in each practice period Wednesday after former teammate Sony Michel was traded to the Rams, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Stevenson was third through the line for most of the summer behind Michel and lead runner Damien Harris. The Patriots also have passing-down back James White, so while Stevenson now may be the second choice for ground work, he'll likely be No. 3 when it comes to snaps this September, if he gets any at all. The rookie fourth-round pick may have played a role in Michel being traded, with excellent work this preseason (193 rushing yards, four touchdowns) making his teammate expendable.

More opportunities await
Stevenson could have added opportunities in New England's backfield behind Damien Harris after Sony Michel was dealt to the Rams on Wednesday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Stevenson, was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and has proceeded to open eyes with his preseason efforts. Though the Patriots have in the past tended to ease rookie backs into the equation, Stevenson -- who possesses a nice blend of power and nimble feet -- figures to mix in on early downs behind Harris, and, with Michel no longer in the equation, is one injury away from a chance at a role with steady volume. Also in the team's backfield mix are change-of-pace…read more

Another pair of scores
Stevenson rushed 15 times for 66 yards and two touchdowns and secured one of two targets for eight yards in the Patriots' 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick is making things interesting in the Patriots backfield this summer, as he managed to follow up a spectacular 127-yard, two-touchdown effort in the exhibition opener against Washington with his pair of scores Thursday night. The 6-foot, 231-pound Stevenson has no shortage of competition in a crowded running back depth chart, but the Oklahoma product may lock in a solid role to start the campaign if he's able to shine again in the Sunday, Aug. 29 preseason finale…read more

Two TDs in preseason opener
Stevenson rushed 10 times for 127 yards and two touchdowns but wasn't targeted in the passing game in Thursday's 22-13 preseason win over Washington.
Analysis: Stevenson's production came in the fourth quarter against backup defenders, but the rookie fourth-round pick still displayed an impressive mix of power and speed. He scored from one yard out to put the Patriots up 15-7 early in the fourth quarter, then ripped off a 91-yard burst down the sideline to complete the scoring with just over a minute remaining. Look for Stevenson to get plenty of opportunities in Week 2 of preseason against the Eagles as he looks to climb a backfield depth chart that…read more

Returns to practice
Stevenson (undisclosed) been removed from the active/NFI list, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: The fourth-rounder was back on the field Friday after missing Patriots' first two training camp practices and will now look to carve out a role in the team's backfield. How much work the Oklahoma product sees as a rookie will depend on several factors, notably roster composition and injuries, but at this stage Stevenson profiles as a complementary option behind projected top back Damien Harris. Also in the mix are Sony Michel, James White, Brandon Bolden, J.J. Taylor and Tyler Gaffney, but…read more

Lands on NFI list
The Patriots have placed Stevenson (undisclosed) on the active/Non-Football Injury list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear what's keeping the rookie fourth-round pick off the field, but Stevenson can come off the list and practice at any time during training camp. Once he's deemed fit to rejoin his teammates, Stevenson will look to carve out a role in New England's backfield, which is currently headed by Damien Harris.
