ANDY BEHRENS: Rhamondre Stevenson has now fully arrived for the New England Patriots. All he did on Sunday against Cleveland was have a 114-yard day. 20 carries, 100 yards, caught four passes, a couple of touchdowns. Really tough running around the goal line from Stevenson.
He was a yards after contact machine in the preseason, of course. And then yoyoed between active and inactive, had ball security issues early in the year. We're past all that, Rhamondre Stevenson is now clearly a part of this New England backfield, moving forward.
Two weeks ago, the guy actually led the team in both rushing and receiving, and that was with Damien Harris active. Of course, Harris was out this week with a concussion. He's going to come back, he's good, he's fine, he had a streak of five straight games with a touchdown, it's not like Harris goes away. But Stevenson is now here to stay, needs to be added in Yahoo leagues. He's available in about 80% of Yahoo leagues right now.
Another name to keep in mind, Darnell Mooney. He's coming off a bye. In his last four games, he's seen 28 targets, he's got a couple of touchdowns. Pair of very friendly match-ups coming up after the Bears bye. They've got the Ravens, they've got the Lions, obviously those are both friendly spots for both quarterbacks and receivers. So keep Justin Fields and Darnell Mooney in mind, if you have a need.
