Stevan Ridley has a mediocre fantasy outing
New England Patriots running back Stevan Ridley rushed for 84 yards, but was held out of the end zone. We break down the fantasy implications.

This makes two games in a row without a touchdown for Ridley, after a streak of six straight games with a score. Ridley remains a non-factor in the Patriots passing game as well, with no receptions on Sunday and only six on the season.
Fantasy Impact: Ridley certainly had a better game than he did last week against the 49ers, but without a touchdown it was nothing special.
Overall Ridley has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners and offered some level of stability and reliability in the New England backfield. He faces the Dolphins in Week 17, and deserves to remain in your lineup.
