Rhamondre Stevenson rushed six times for 43 yards and a fumble in the Patriots’ Week 2 win over the Steelers, adding one reception for three yards.
Stevenson started the game for the Patriots backfield but quickly fell out of favor after a first quarter fumble. He was out-snapped the rest of the game by TreVeyon Henderson, who saw 31 snaps to Stevenson’s 18. The Pats did get Stevenson going again in the second half; he ripped off a 24-yard run in the third quarter to extend a drive that ended in a missed field goal. Based on Week 2 usage, Stevenson is the starter but will be quickly yanked as his career-long fumbling issues continue. He is a FLEX play for Week 3 against the jaguars.
