Rhamondre Stevenson at Buffalo — Risky Flex Play Amid Timeshare and Line Injuries

Stevenson remains the nominal lead back in New England's committee, but recent fumbling issues opened the door for TreVeyon Henderson to claim a significant role. With head coach Mike Vrabel actively rotating both backs, Stevenson's fantasy start rate has steadily tumbled into the mid-40s as managers react to his trimmed touch ceiling.

Facing a tough road tilt in Buffalo as 7-point underdogs, New England's offense must navigate injuries across the line, including guard Mike Onwenu. Our projections slot Stevenson for roughly 12 carries, 3 receptions, and 11.8 fantasy points, cementing him as a volatile, volume-dependent flex option rather than a locked-in RB2.
