1/10/25 | Patriots Could Part Ways With Disappointing RB. The New England Patriots made a couple of moves in an attempt to fortify their backfield last offseason, signing Rhamondre Stevenson to an extension and adding Antonio Gibson in free agency. Neither move really paid any sort of dividends, as the Patriots' rushing attack was more spearheaded by quarterback Drake Maye than either of the two running backs.

1/07/25 | 2025 New England Patriots Offseason Primer. The Patriots were busy last offseason extending and re-signing a large group of their own players including players like Rhamondre Stevenson and Christian Barmore who would've been headed to free agency this offseason. Certainly the group of internal free agents features some key contributors of recent years like Jonathan Jones and Deatrich Wise, but none should require the kind of large long-term pacts that the team handed out last year, leaving plenty of cap space to attack external free agency with.

12/28/24 | Key Patriots Playmaker Receives Demotion After Costly Mistake. FOXBORO, Mass. — Rhamondre Stevenson has lost the starting job in the Patriots backfield. Well, that will be the case when the New England Patriots host the Los Angeles Chargers at least. Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo confirmed running back Antonio Gibson would start over Stevenson when he appeared on 98.5 The Sports Hub's pregame show. Stevenson's demotion follows a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills in which the running back lost a costly second-half fumble. Stevenson has fumbled seven times this season, which marks the most in the league. This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

12/27/24 | Patriots Should Aggressively Pursue Cowboys' Emerging Star. The New England Patriots ' biggest needs are on the offensive side of the ball, and when you think about the team's most prominent holes, you'll probably instantly single out the receiving corps and the offensive line . However, the Patriots also have a fairly significant need in another key area: running back. New England signed Rhamondre Stevenson to an extension last offseason and also signed Antonio Gibson in free agency, but neither move has worked out too well in 2024. With all of the cap room the Pats are slated to have heading into free agency, they could certainly afford to add another halfback, and one name is emerging as a very obvious fit: Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle.

12/26/24 | 3 Overlooked Roster Needs for the Patriots. The NFL offseason can't get here soon enough for the New England Patriots, who will be looking to fill a plethora of needs up and down their roster. Here are three overlooked issues for New England going into free agency. The Pats signed Rhamondre Stevenson to a contract extension last offseason, but he hasn't exactly lived up to expectations in 2024, rushing for 800 yards and seven touchdowns while averaging just 3.9 yards per carry. Stevenson has also had severe issues with ball security this year, fumbling seven times. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/patriots/news/3-overlooked-... |
12/24/24 | Game Preview: Chargers at Patriots. The Patriots ground game is on the upswing and the Chargers defense has had some trouble containing the run much of the season. Rhamondre Stevenson and the rejuvenated Antonio Gibson have given life to the Patriots ground game, at least when the score allows Alex Van Pelt to stick with it. Stevenson was productive in Buffalo last week, averaging 5 yards per carry on 12 attempts, but he also fumbled for the seventh time this season and earned a spot on the bench.

12/22/24 | Rhamondre Stevenson ball security issues return in loss to Bills, and he no longer has a hold as Patriots' featured back. If you want to be considered a feature back in the NFL, you have to hold on to the football. The Bills turned those two fumbles into 10 points. On a day when the Patriots were as close to perfect for the first 30 minutes as they have been all season, they gave away the game while losing their sixth contest by 7 points or fewer. “I just need to hold the ball,” Stevenson flatly said after the game.

12/18/24 | Game Preview: Patriots at Bills. The Bills run defense hasn't been great for most of the season, and the Patriots have run it better as of late. The problem for Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson may be the Bills offense. Many opponents have tried to establish the run against a Bills front that allows 4.7 yards per carry, which ranks 24th in the league, but early deficits have often eliminated that portion of the game.

12/15/24 | Game Preview: Patriots at Cardinals. The Patriots ground game has shown signs of life in recent games as Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson have resembled their early-season form. Gibson in particular was impressive in the loss to the Colts with 62 yards on just seven carries while Stevenson ripped off a 32-yard run. The Cardinals have been rather pedestrian stopping the run, ranking 18th in the league while allowing 121.8 yards per game, and 19th at 4.5 yards per carry. Seattle's Zach Charbonnet enjoyed a solid outing last week in Glendale when he topped 100 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown run. Source: https://www.patriots.com/news/game-preview-patriot... |

12/01/24 | Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Week 13: Drake Maye, Rhamondre Stevenson vs. Colts. The New England Patriots have been one of the least productive offenses in the NFL through the first 12 games of the 2024 season, scoring just 16.4 points per game (31st) and gaining 280.2 yards (32nd). With that, most of their offense has been irrelevant for Fantasy Football purposes this year. The top two options have been running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who has had a handful of good games, and rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who has shown flashes of brilliance earlier on in his career. In Week 13, Fantasy Football owners shouldn't be considering many Patriots for their lineups, but if it's a deeper league or there's an injury or bye week, they may have to.

11/27/24 | Game Preview: Colts at Patriots. The Patriots running game hasn't been in gear for several weeks, but the Colts run defense has struggled for much of the season.

11/26/24 | Patriots Linked to Penn State Star RB. The New England Patriots have arguably the worst group of skill position players in the NFL, and while wide receiver is their biggest area of need in that category, they could also stand to add a running back. Yes, the Patriots signed Rhamondre Stevenson to a four-year contract extension during the offseason, but they could certainly use a nice change-of-pace back alongside of him. Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine has identified an interesting potential NFL Draft target for New England, deeming Penn State Nittany Lions halfback Nicholas Singleton a possible fit.
