Oh Rhamondre. Why do you fumble so, Rhamondre? Rhamondre Stevenson is once again on thin ice after fumbling twice in Week 3 against the Steelers. His second fumble sent him to the bench, while Antonio Gibson also fumbled, giving rookie TreVeyon Henderson the lead role based on his ability to hang onto the ball.

Stevenson has showed enough to be the lead back in this committee, but the question for fantasy is if he’ll get demoted in Week 4 against the Panthers or if not, will he fumble again and end the game riding the pine anyway?
Below, we’ll go over Rhamondre Stevenson’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 4.
Fantasy Football analysis: Patriots, RB, Rhamondre Stevenson
The Panthers have allowed a league worst 5.7 yards per carry, the fourth-most rushing yards and the 11th-most receiving yards to running backs this season. If we knew which of the running backs would get the majority of the work, it would be fairly easy to give them the thumbs up for a strong start this week. But, with this being a game where the Patriots are 5.5-point favorites, I expect both Stevenson and Henderson to have good fantasy upside.
Head coach Mike Vrabel was adamant that the team needed Stevenson on the field. That doesn’t mean he’s the no-doubt lead back this week, but I do think he will get work and should be successful with that work.

Start. He gets docked for the possibility he’ll be behind Henderson this week, but as ongoing as he doesn’t put the ball on the ground, he could work his way into enough touches to be worth a flex spot. He also might just be the lead back again and have a very short leash. He’s risky no doubt, but the matchup gives him enough upside to take the risk this week.
