Rhamondre Stevenson Out For Week 9

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He didn’t practice all week and could miss more time beyond Week 9 depending on the severity of this toe injury. Stevenson’s absence leaves TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings as the only two RBs on the active roster. RBs D’Ernest Johnson, Rushawn Baker, and Jonathan Ward are on the practice squad. The Patriots have been hesitant to give Henderson a big role so far, but we’d be surprised if he didn’t tally 12+ touches in this one, with a ceiling approaching 20. Consider the rookie a moderate-risk, high-reward RB2 play.
