Is Rhamondre Stevenson Going to ‘Leapfrog’ Damien Harris As The Patriot’s RB1?

Second year running back Rhamondre Stevenson created a lot of buzz this summer and some insiders think it might go further.

9/2 [6:34 am]:聽NESN’s Zack Cox believes it would not be a “shock” if聽Rhamondre Stevenson “leapfrogs” Damien Harris as the Patriots’ early-down back.

Advice: Cox said there’s “a reason Stevenson has been getting so much fantasy buzz this summer.” “Along with his growing role as a receiver, it wouldn鈥檛 shock me if [Stevenson] eventually leapfrogs Harris and becomes New England鈥檚 top early-down option, as well,” Cox said. “The Patriots still have a lot of run-blocking issues to work out, but Stevenson showed legit star potential last season and had a good camp.” Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has complimented Stevenson’s improvement as a pass catcher and a blocker this summer. The second-year back profiles as an every-down guy, though fantasy managers shouldn’t expect Harris to be completely phased out of the offense. Stevenson remains one of the most important draft targets for fantasy managers seeking late-round running backs values.聽
