New England Patriots RB Antonio Gibson is set to potentially start in Week 5 with RB Rhamondre Stevenson being benched. (Source: Mike Reiss on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Head coach Jerod Mayo announced that Stevenson was being benched after struggling with fumbles recently (one fumble in all four games), which sets the stage for Gibson to start. He has averaged 5.3 yards per carry, though the number is slightly skewed by a 45-yard scamper in Week 2 (3.9 yards across his other 28 carries). However, he does have two plays of 45+ yards this season (the other as a reception) and has seven targets in his last two games. Miami is roughly middle of the pack in rush EPA allowed, though New England's PFF run-blocking grade is the 10th-worst mark in the NFL through four weeks.

New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo talked to RB Rhamondre Stevenson and informed him he was being benched in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. (Source: Mike Reiss on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Stevenson has struggled with fumbles recently (one in all four games), an issue that often compounds on itself as defenses get more aggressive at punching the ball out. Whether it's a disciplinary move or more demonstrative, it sets up the stage for RB Antonio Gibson (two 45+ yard plays on 36 touches) to start against Miami. Stevenson started the year hot with 201 yards in Weeks 1 and 2 but has just 66 yards in his last two games.

Fantasy Impact: Mayer is still absent from the team right now and has been ruled out for Sunday's game. He's dealing with a personal issue right now, and there remains no timetable for his return. Brock Bowers is set to see the bulk of the work as the top tight end for the Raiders for the foreseeable future.

Zamir White (groin) won't play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Kevin Bolinger on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Raiders will be without White on Sunday as he recovers from a groin injury.

Alexander Mattison is primed to see more work while White is out of the lineup for Las Vegas.
