I have been holding on in 14-team re-draft. I don't know that I would've been able to resist the temptation to drop without the White injury and JJ Taylor not seizing the day, even though those are different RB roles.
I still think he has a chance to make some noise this season. Maybe gets some run this week with the Damien Harris fumble and ribs situation. I like this stash better than any of the other players mentioned. Have him in a similar place as Ty'son Williams. I think both have a shot to get to the top of their respective depth charts without it taking an injury.

Absolutely.
D. Harris is dinged and has been fumbling. Two big no nos with Bill B.
Stevenson is a primary reason why S. Michele is no longer with the team. Stevenson was regarded as a steal as a 4th rounder this year. He's big, fast for his size, and a surprisingly good receiver. He's the most all around RB they have without a doubt.
Harris is more one dimensional as well...not a great receiver and JJ Taylor just fumbled his way into the doghouse. Bolden's bread n butter is special teams.
NE has done far more with less in the past (see Benjarvus Green Ellis, D. Lewis among many others). Would not surprise me to see this guy emerge.

Interesting Mike Clay tweet for those desperate for a RB2 this week.

“Damien Harris trending toward missing Week 6“
Not sure how accurate Mike Clay is or how he can base that off one DNP for Harris… but wouldn’t be the first time a rib injury has kept someone out this year.

Harris (ribs) was present for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Though Harris was spotted at practice Wednesday, he was officially listed as a non-participant by the Patriots. If he advances to logging a limited session Thursday, however, the running back's prospects of suiting up this weekend against the Cowboys will brighten. That said, there's still a decent chance that Harris approaches Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff listed as questionable by New England.

Didn't Stevenson also fumble early this year?

On his 1st or one of his 1st touches in week 1...been in the doghouse ever since.
I drafted him late in my keeper league, but dropped him to make room for Toney...
does Stevenson actually have some decent value for ROS? in my league personally, i'd need to drop Drake to pick him up. and while Drake has been essentially worthless, so has Stevenson

The Pats OL is a mess. Even if Harris can’t go, they are playing the Cowboys. It’s not crazy to think Dallas will put up points and the Pats might have to get away from the running game (which hasn’t been great to begin with). If that’s the game script, I would guess the beneficiary will be Bolden, as his blocking is far better than Stevenson.
That being said, Harris was at practice and participated in drills today. He will probably be listed as limited in practice later today.
There are probably worse gambles and roster stashes than RS. I’m just not that confident he will carve out a consistent and big enough role on a team with OL issues, not a lot of yardage, and one that doesn’t score many points.

Any better stashes in redraft at this point?
Not many players out there who have a shot at a possible starting role without real injury. Harris has been underwhelming at this point. Maybe with more development he can become the lead back.
Everyone is so Gaga over Javonte Williams when Gordon an established vet is there.
Here all that is in his way is an injury prone 1 dimensional running back who had been fumbling...

People are ga-ga over Javonte for a reason.
When Stevenson does something like this people will be ga-ga over him too.

Man. Well done not taking the bait. I’m a Javonte fan. But that clip looked like a combo of bad blocking, amazing effort by him, horrific tackling by the D.

I assume with sneaky bellicheck we wouldn’t know anything regarding who’s playing/starting till right up to kickoff.
Which makes it tough as my only other RB2 option plays at noon currently slotted in and I have a waiver out for Herbert, dropping Rahmondre. Would love to hang on to Rahmondre. I drafted him and kicked him to the curb after week 1, but he may be headed back the wire the same week he rejoined my squad.

Anyone else brave enough to start him this week?
Byes are hitting, and I'm leaning Stevenson over Mike Davis. Game script should favor carries to the NE RBs. It was encouraging to see his usage in the passing game last week, which in itself presents good PPR value. He has a bit of smoothness that reminds me of Arian Foster. I don't think he will ever reach that level on NE, but even Foster-lite would be a good asset.

Yep- Jets are getting annhilated by pass-catching backs. You bet they will exploit this

Between byes and broken-down Browns, I've got a ticket on the Rhamondre express this weekend. For now, if I don't chicken out. I do like this matchup and the potential game script. Also intrigued by the potential for Stevenson to grab hold of a meaningful role ROS. Dude has sweet feet, soft hands and good vision, in rare combination for such a big guy.
May roll the dice with him instead of T. Boyd. I'm a big underdog this week so WTF.
Maybe get lucky and this is his breakout game as D. Harris goes down, Stevenson gets 2 TD plunges and 5 receptions.
A man can dream.

I’ll keep him on the bench and take one for the team. If I do start him, he’ll fumble on his first carry and sit the rest of the game.kyoun1e said:

I'm thinking the same thing in my 14-team flex spot. My alternative is Melvin Gordon against the Browns tonight. That would probably be the chalk, but I have a feeling Rhamondre gets double-digit touches against the Jets and is more likely to break one.

As someone with Harris this is good news. Especially if the RS owner now drops him so I can stash him on my bench.

Dammit!
I had subbed him in for Sterling Shepard, and now this. Gerald Everett, come on down.
Edit: Make it David Johnson. I don't see Everett getting a lot of love from Geno against the Saints D, and there's a sliver of revenge factor with DJ facing Arizona.

Slayton gone? That was my pivot this morning. I was having to start Stevenson in one with 3/4ths my team dead or on bye.

I just added Rhamondre Stevenson in all 3 of our leagues for potentially this week and beyond. It certainly looks like its D Harris's job, but Stevenson looks really good too. A few mistakes to clean up. Rank seems to be high on him. Worth a shot.
Edit: Just read where MJD likes Stevenson as well. Still behind Harris, but a potential play on his own, and definitely a handcuff.

Problem with him is that he is one missed blocked from never seeing the field again this year...that's a hard start until he builds some consistency

Gotta roll the dice before any more positive news comes out. This is an example of what it takes to win a league. Sometimes it hits, sometimes you toss the player back. I'm rolling dice for a week or two to see how this pans out.

Yep, missed a block earlier in the year. Perhaps he's being coached since. Not ready to crucify him every week. He's got talent.
Of course that statement is true and we have all been rolling the dice on 20 different rbs since the season started...patterson is probably the only one that has worked out
That being said you must be super short bench that stevenson is even available
They all have talent that's why they are in the nfl....the majority of them don't go anywhere though
Stevenson is as good of a flyer as anyone that's for sure though...

Benches at 5, 6, 5. News that he was concussed probably caused a pause. The word on Stevenson value increasing is recent news. So I pounced.

Cordelle Patterson paid off on an early flyer. Others like Gainwell, L Murray, Ty'Son Williams went in and out and so far have flopped. One who I did trade was Connors for injured Hunt and so far Connors is getting the best of that deal. I was also the first to grab M Carter in two leagues and he's been a pleasant surprise. I'm addicted to fantasy football what can I say.

Dam* it Jim, may have jumped the gun on Stevenson. Was trending back, but absent from practice today (Friday).
