3. Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England Patriots (vs. CHI)

Rhamondre Stevenson capitalized on Damien Harris missing their Week 6 matchup against the Browns, rushing 19 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns, adding four catches as well. If Harris misses another week, expect Stevenson to again operate as the workhorse back for New England. He’s been playing incredible football and is currently the RB9 overall in fantasy leagues.

Stevenson gets another dream matchup this week against the Bears’ 29th-ranked run defense. They were dead last, but were able to improve by stopping the Commanders’ offense — which isn’t hard. The Patriots are much better at running the football. Stevenson will push for RB1 numbers if he’s able to secure a workhorse role in a favorable matchup.
