Rhamondre Stevenson Week 6 Outlook - Texans at Patriots

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week, Stevenson didn't "start" the game, but he did play 47% of the snaps with 16 touches and 92 total yards. Stevenson is the RB25 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18 touches and 78.6 total yards. He opened this week by missing practice (foot). We'll see if he can suit up this week, so monitor his practice reports and the Primer closely for updates. Stevenson remains the team's best offensive weapon. Among 59 qualifying backs, he ranks 16th in explosive run rate, eighth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and ninth in yards after contact per attempt. If Stevenson is healthy enough to go this week, he'll face a Houston run defense ranks 15th in rushing success rate while also allowing the 12th-lowest yards before contact per attempt. They have been stout against gap rushers, giving up the seventh-lowest yards per carry and the second-lowest gap success rate (Stevenson 61% gap).
