2023 Fantasy Outlook
Stevenson might not be very fast or quick, but it's rare to see a 230-pound back with the flexibility and coordination he has. His ability to absorb a hit and maintain balance allows him to shed tacklers and move forward rapidly even without standout speed, making Stevenson an improbably slippery ballcarrier for someone so big. The standout coordination has allowed him to become a capable pass catcher, which is another part of why he's such a good fantasy back. The list of players who can credibly take on 300 carries and 50 catches in a season is highly exclusive, and Stevenson is one of them. The Patriots probably overindulged on Stevenson's pass-catching usage last year -- the 4.7 yards per target is potentially an indication of overexposure -- but he's capable of doing more as a runner than the Patriots allowed in 2022. Whether he gets that chance this season is still to be determined, as the Patriots lost bruiser Damien Harris to the Bills but signed Ezekiel Elliott in August. Stevenson is still the starter and first receiving option out of the backfield, but Elliott likely will cut into his carries, especially at the goal line. Stevenson. Read Past Outlooks

Close to full strength
Stevenson (ankle) recently said he's "feeling great" and would be able to play in a game if the Patriots had one coming up, Nicole Yang of The Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
Stevenson has been going to physical therapy four or five times per week since missing the final five games of 2023 with a high-ankle injury. It sounds like he'll be ready for the start of the offseason program, heading into the fourth and final year of his rookie contract. Stevenson said he plans to speak to new coach Jerod Mayo and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt about his desire to handle a clear lead role in the backfield, after rotating with Damien Harris in 2022 and Ezekiel Elliott in 2023. Elliott is headed for unrestricted free agency this offseason, leaving Stevenson and 2022 sixth-round pick Kevin Harris as the only RBs from the 2023 roster under contract for 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could lose receiving opportunities
Stevenson could see fewer opportunities as a pass catcher in 2024 after Antonio Gibson agreed to a three-year contract with the Patriots on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Stevenson played a three-down role for most of the previous two seasons, but he struggled as a pass catcher out of the backfield, turning 139 targets over that span into 107 receptions for only 659 yards and one touchdown. After averaging a meager 4.7 yards per target over the past two seasons, Stevenson may find himself off the field in passing situations in 2024. Gibson has caught at least 36 passes in each of his four NFL seasons and has a career average of 6.0 yards per target.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Rookie running backs can have a tough time getting going in New England. Stevenson was no
exception after being taken in the fourth round in 2021, playing only four snaps through the first
three weeks of the season and not taking on a significant role in the offense until Week 9, when
he piled up 106 total yards on 12 touches against the Panthers. He followed that up with 100
rushing yards and two touchdowns against the Browns, and from that point on the backfield was
essentially a timeshare between Stevenson and Damien Harris, with each taking their turn in the
spotlight. Stevenson is the bigger back of the two, and he broke 16 tackles last year on 133
carries - the second-best rate in the NFL behind only fellow rookie Javonte Williams. Despite
the impressive pro debut, Stevenson's outlook for 2022 is murky. Harris is still under contract for another year, Ty Montgomery is trying to earn a role on passing
downs and the Patriots added two rookie backs on Day 3 of the draft. That leaves Stevenson in
a likely committee role again, with Harris the biggest obstacle short term.
