Rhamondre Stevenson thread

[KittleGoat]

I can't believe there hasn't been a bump here yet. I've been watching Rhamondre pretty closely and everything has been trending up. His last 4 week snap share has been 62%, 62%, 55%, and then when they lost DHarris, a whopping 90%. Week 3 and 4 he had 5 targets. I feel this kind of action is a steady RB2 territory...and with Harris out for a couple weeks?? Man. This guy just scored 25 points in my flex. Is this a sell high or is he breaking out and is a play when it's a good matchup? If Harris is gone next year perhaps we can get this exact scenario for the next 1.5 seasons. I think over the next month Rhamondre is close to a must start.

Sshhhhh Why not enjoy the surge quietly? Lol I was hoping for a good year, he still is in NE where one bad look can put you in the dog house but he looks good!

If Harris is out he's a back end RB1.

If you can get a haul for him, I'd be ok selling, but I don't think many are clamoring to buy New England RBs. Be happy to hold and start him. The kid is killing it right now.

I think if they get solid QB play his usage will go down, but that may be a couple years.

I own him in 2 very different leagues - for Team B, I'm 5-0 and a favorite to win it so loving holding and starting him.

For team F however, I'm in a strip-down and rebuild so I'm conflicted... I'd sell for a early or mid 1st, but not a late 1 - I absolutely believe in his talent and it's not like he's just valuable because of Harris' injury. Dude was the co-starter all year already, and frankly has looked like the better back.

Next year with Harris being a FA, Stevenson SHOULD have a great role (I can't see the Pats going early RB, no way they pull a Michel again)

I don't see people paying a late 1st but that's gotta be the asking price

I would say this ^ but change it to mid-1st

A late 1st we hope becomes what Stevenson is right now, with his trajectory only pointing up as a 2nd year player, producing very well, and the other guy currently hurt AND about to move on next year AND already in a 50-50 split.

x2 where I own him Im a contender fwiw thought. Hard to turn down likely rb1 production for 3-5 weeks with the potential for harris to need longer/not being resigned in the offseason and rb3 production if harris returns to his original role

Yeah this is the Patriot RB dilemma. I tried shopping either of the Patriots Rb's this off-season and got absolutely no interest. Every response was "lol patriot RB." His value is way past a 2nd but no one is going to pay a 1st. Not yet anyways. I think there will have to be a whole season of this type of production before people finally give in.

I'm pretty excited about him - I prefer to start RB in the flex so it's great to have another option that can have real smash weeks. Looks like Belichick likes his pass protection too so I think even on the down weeks he'll have a floor. I think we have some nice medium-term dynasty value here.

[HurtsSoGood]

I've got an offer in a 10 team non-SF for a mid/late 1st, which would probably end up in the 6-8 range. First instinct says it would be dumb not to accept that, but if (when?) Harris is gone next year, I don't think it's 100% a no-brainer.

[MFundercover]

He's a must start with Harris out.

Still hyping him for 2023 after Harris is gone. I think he's set up for a 2016 LeGarrette Blount season.

[Anteaters]

Non SF 10 team league, I think you almost have to hold a 24 year old RB who looks like a sure T16RB if he continues to get the majority of the RB touches.

[Dynasty DeLorean]

Own him in one place as a non-contender this year (hopefully contending next year) and man I’m torn vs a late-1st. He looks like a good player but we know one injury or whatever to these guys and the team has no allegiance to them like they would with a higher more touted draft pick. Also the whole “Belecheat RB” thing, but often those things are true until they aren’t. Like with “Cam Newton doesn’t throw to his rbs”.

[Pullo Vision]

Ekeler is #1 in RB receptions this year, but Stevenson is #2 before yesterday's game. Does he have staying power as a 3 down back? Are you comfortable ranking him in the top 10 among RBs?

[thunderTung]

As a sad pats fan, Stevenson is the only bright spot on this atrocious offense. Taking him in the 3rd round ended up being an absolute steal for me. It's hard to gauge NE RB's for the future. But I know one thing, right now this entire offense runs through him. Air, Ground, everything. I dont know how you dont start him knowing he's gonna be responsible for 50% of the teams offensive production for the rest of the year.
