Rhamondre Stevenson Week 2 Outlook - Seahawks at Patriots

MONDRE bullied the Bengals run defense in Week 1 to the tune of 28 touches, 126 total yards, and an RB7 finish. He played 78% of the snaps while putting up a monster tackle-breaking performance. Among 34 qualifying backs, he ranked first in missed tackles forced per attempt, third in yards after contact per attempt, and ninth in explosive run rate. The jury is still out regarding the skill of the Seattle run defense for 2024. They were a bottom-five unit last year, but in Week 1, they had the fourth-highest stuff rate and the ninth-lowest yards after contact per attempt allowed while sitting at 16th in missed tackles per attempt. This was also against a putrid Denver passing attack, but the New England passing attack isn't much better, so Seattle could load the box. The biggest concern for Stevenson is that his offensive line didn't do him any favors last week, with the third-lowest yards before contact per attempt generated. Stevenson will have to do it all himself again this week in a tougher matchup.
