Rhamondre Stevenson Not at Friday's Practice
There was no sign of New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) at Friday's practice, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Stevenson has yet to practice this week and is now unlikely to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. He has yet to officially be ruled out, but that's likely coming later on Friday, so fantasy managers should be moving Stevenson to their benches for the week, if they haven't already done so. With Stevenson likely sidelined this weekend, rookie TreVeyon Henderson should get his first real opportunity to be the Patriots' RB1, with Terrell Jennings expected to be elevated into the backup/change-of-pace role in the backfield. Henderson, the team's second-rounder in April out of Ohio State, has had ball-security issues through his first eight NFL games. However, with the boost in volume coming this Sunday, he will be in play as an RB2 in fantasy lineups.
