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.
