Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson Both Three-Down Backs?
Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson are "looking at all three downs" and that the team "has to plan accordingly for that." It's a notable change from the team's second preseason game, and it's a contrast to the "third-down backs" the Patriots have traditionally employed. Pass-catching specialist James White recently retired, and rookie Pierre Strong Jr. has come along slowly this summer. Ty Montgomery can catch passes and figures to be the No. 3 RB entering the season, but it's clear that Harris and Stevenson will do the heavy lifting. Harris and Stevenson are both in play as RB3/flex options for fantasy managers, but this could become a frustrating committee approach in which the Patriots go with the hot hand on a weekly basis.
