Stevenson rushed six times for 54 yards and caught five of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.
What it means:
Stevenson was far more effective than Damien Harris (13 carries for 48 yards), yet Harris got more rushing attempts in this must-win game. New England was eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. Stevenson's success in a workhorse role while Harris was out helped the second-year running back post 1,040 rushing yards and 421 receiving yards, along with six scrimmage touchdowns on 279 touches. Harris is set to be a free agent in 2023, so Stevenson could be in line for a substantial bump in usage.
Stevenson rushed eight times for 42 yards and brought in two of four targets for nine yards in the Patriots' 23-21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
What it means:
Stevenson paced the Patriots' backfield in rushing yards on the afternoon, but returning position mate Damien Harris outpaced him by one carry, and more surprisingly, one catch as well. Stevenson is slated to work in a timeshare with Harris again in a key Week 18 divisional road matchup against the Bills that will help decide New England's playoff fate.
Stevenson (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
What it means:
Stevenson approached the contest listed as questionable after practicing in a limited fashion this past week, but he'll continue to play through an ankle issue he's managed over the last couple of games and is thus in line to maintain his key role in the Patriots' backfield versus Miami. While the 6-foot, 230-pounder could lose some touches to Damien Harris (who is back in the mix Sunday following a four-game absence), barring any in-game setbacks Stevenson should still log enough carries and targets to retain fantasy utility in Week 17.

Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) expected to be active in Week 17
What it means:
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) expects "to be OK to play" in the team's Week 17 game against the Miami Dolphins, ESPN's Dan Graziano reports.
Stevenson has been dealing with an ankle injury over the past few weeks, but it has yet to keep him out of any of the Patriots' games so far. He may see his reps somewhat managed as he works through the injury, but he has still been the focal point of the Patriots' offense in most of the team's recent games.
Stevenson is projected to score 14.7 fantasy points against the Dolphins today, with 66.1 rushing yards, 25 receiving yards, and 0.7 touchdowns. FanDuel has set his salary at $8,300 for today's contests.
Stevenson (ankle) is in line to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
Stevenson has been tending to an ankle injury since a Week 14 win at Arizona, but he continued to lead the Patriots backfield the last two contests en route to 36 touches for 201 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD. This week, he was limited in practice Wednesday through Friday and was tagged as questionable for Week 17 action, but it appears as if he'll be available Sunday for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's active, Stevenson will be welcoming back fellow RB Damien Harris (thigh/personal), who has missed the past four outings.
