Stevenson's 24 touches were his most since Week 1, though he has breezed by 20 three of the past four weeks. The Pats' play volume has skyrocketed with Drake Maye under center, but it's still a mediocre overall offense with limited touchdown opportunities. That's why Stevenson is scoreless in 3-of-5 appearances. He's still scoring enough, while the workloads make him a clear-cut RB2. That will include for Week 12 vs. the Dolphins in what could admittedly be a low-scoring affair.
Gibson now has five or fewer touches in five straight games. Even with Drake Maye enhancing the Patriots' overall offensive outlook, contingency back Gibson isn't coming close to standalone value behind workhorse starter Rhamondre Stevenson, and is even splitting some of the change-of-pace work with JaMycal Hasty. He's waiver wire fodder.
Stevenson was a workhorse back for the Patriots, handline 20 of 31 running back carries. It wasn't the most efficient day, averaging 3.7 yards per carry, but the Pats leaned on him to eat up yards in a positive rushing game script. His fantasy production is dented by not scoring a touchdown, but Stevenson's usage is encouraging for fantasy managers. He is in the RB2 mix for Week 11 against the Rams.
Hasty was the Patriots' second running back into the game after Rhamondre Stevenson. He totaled seven touches for 24 yards in a game where the Pats ran more than they threw. Hasty is the team's pass-catching back, though not much of that skillset was needed against the Bears. While Hasty is more the complementary back to Stevenson, Antonio Gibson is more of the direct backup, rushing five times for 26 yards; Gibson carried the ball mostly in the closing minutes of the game.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 20 times for 74 yards in the Patriots win against the Bears. He also caught one pass for three yards. Stevenson remained inefficient, but did not find the end zone, which has saved his recent fantasy days.
