Stevenson rushed 20 times for 73 yards and caught all four of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson surpassed 70 rushing yards for the second consecutive game and the fifth time in 10 appearances this season. He isn't much of a contributor in the passing game, but Stevenson usually gets hefty workloads on the ground as long as the 3-8 Patriots aren't getting blown out, as this was the fifth time he recorded at least 20 rushing attempts in a game this season. Stevenson should remain heavily involved in Week 12 against a Dolphins defense that's been more vulnerable on the ground than through the air.

Stevenson carried the ball 20 times for 74 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
After eking out just 82 rushing yards total over the prior three games, Stevenson nearly matched that mark Sunday, although his longest gain went for only 11 yards. However, after scoring four TDs in the last two contests, he failed to get into the end zone this time around. Stevenson's 3.8 yards per carry this season is a career low, but he's already scored a career-high seven touchdowns through nine games while amassing 614 scrimmage yards. He'll try to hit paydirt again in Week 11 against the Rams.

Stevenson rushed the ball 10 times for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans. He added five receptions on five targets for 38 yards and another touchdown.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson comfortably led the Patriots' backfield in touches, though the team ran a pass-heavy offense, which led to limited volume. He couldn't get much going on the ground, though he did manage a one-yard touchdown plunge midway through the third quarter. Stevenson was more effective as a pass catcher, with his biggest contribution coming on a five-yard touchdown reception as time expired to send the game to overtime. Stevenson has been held below 3.0 yards per carry in three consecutive games, though there's been no sign of him losing his role as the lead back.

Stevenson rushed 20 times for 48 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets. He also caught a successful two-point conversion.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson scored a three-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, which he set up with a 14-yard catch on the preceding play. He added the game-winning score from one yard out with 22 seconds left in the fourth, with a two-point conversion through the air serving as the cherry on top of Stevenson's second touchdown run. Stevenson's averaging a middling 4.1 yards per carry but has five rushing touchdowns heading into a Week 9 road game against the 1-6 Titans. It remains to be seen if Jacoby Brissett or Drake Maye (concussion) -- who exited in the first half of Sunday's win -- will start at quarterback for the Patriots in Week 9.

Stevenson (foot/personal) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday paves the way for him to continue to lead New England's backfield Sunday against the Jets. In his return from a one-game absence in last weekend's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, Stevenson carried seven times for 18 yards and added two catches on three targets for seven yards. Now that he's further removed from the foot issue that sidelined him, Stevenson could see his touches increase this weekend, with the Patriots likely to run more than they did Week 7 (15 times).

Stevenson (foot/personal) returned to practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to the field a day later has the running back trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Jets. The Patriots' second Week 8 injury report will be released later Thursday and will reveal whether Stevenson was a limited or full participant.

Stevenson (foot/personal) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson, who continues to manage a foot issue, also tended to a personal matter Wednesday. Further context regarding the running back's Week 8 status will arrive no later than Thursday, but if Stevenson is limited or out this weekend, Antonio Gibson and JaMycal Hasty would be in line to see added backfield work for the Patriots on Sunday against the Jets.

Stevenson rushed the ball seven times for 18 yards in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars. He added two receptions on three targets for seven yards.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson returned from a one-game absence to lead the New England backfield as a rusher, though both his volume and effectiveness were muted -- the latter of which was caused by game script. Most concerning was JaMycal Hasty's involvement as a pass catcher, which cut into Stevenson's overall role in the offense. Stevenson should be more productive moving forward due to the improved performance of the New England offense, but he has now been held under 50 rushing yards in three of his last four games.

Stevenson (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out the Week 6 loss to the Texans with the foot injury, Stevenson failed to practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he turned a corner by putting in a full session Friday en route to carrying a questionable tag into the weekend. Stevenson avoided any setbacks leading up to Sunday and will presumably return to his typical starting role, though the extent of his workload isn't known. After fumbling four times in the Patriots' first four games, Stevenson lost out on some snaps to Antonio Gibson in a Week 5 loss to the Dolphins, though Stevenson bounced back in that contest with a strong performance, as he carried 12 times for 89 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for three yards. Assuming he can continue to keep the fumble issues at bay, Stevenson should be able to rebuild some job security, and his fantasy outlook could also be helped by the Patriots' recent change at quarterback from Jacoby Brissett to rookie first-round pick Drake Maye.

Stevenson (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stevenson was a full participant in Friday's practice and also outright said he'd be good for the London matchup, so Schefter's report isn't surprising. Obviously fantasy managers should still confirm his status prior to the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff time Sunday, but the more intriguing aspect will be the playing time split between Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. The latter took 13 carries for only 19 yards in the Week 6 loss to the Texans with Stevenson sidelined, but the week prior Gibson was listed as the team's "starter" only for Stevenson to receive the bulk of the carries out of the backfield after the first drive. The offense figures to have far more dynamism regardless with rookie quarterback Drake Maye slated to make his second start.
