Rhamondre Stevenson to Retain Starting Role

The Patriots’ projected lead back in 2025 remains Rhamondre Stevenson, as New England is banking on a bounce-back season after an inconsistent 2024. Stevenson signed a four-year extension last offseason, cementing his place as a core piece of the offense. First-year head coach Mike Vrabel made it clear this spring that Stevenson will “be a large part of what we do” (Evan Lazar, Patriots.com).

Last season, Stevenson rushed for 801 yards and 7 touchdowns on 207 carries. With a more dynamic Patriots offense expected this year, he’s positioned to resume a very large workload.

Behind Stevenson, Antonio Gibson returns after showing strong efficiency in his first year with the team. Rookie second-round pick Treyeveon Henderson is also in the mix, and both he and Gibson bring similar skill sets as versatile backs. That redundancy could lead to a battle for the change-of-pace role as the team sorts out its rotation.

For fantasy managers, Henderson’s short-term outlook takes a bit of a hit. While many rookie drafts have seen him go in the first half of the first round, Stevenson’s contract and entrenched role always made 2025 a tough path to immediate touches. Dynasty managers may need to exercise patience.

And they may already have the answer. Much of the offseason speculation in San Jose has centered on whether No. 2 overall pick Michael Misa will make the jump to the NHL this fall. Looking at the Sharks’ current roster, there’s certainly a spot waiting if he’s ready. Misa projects as a natural center, though his versatility allows him to shift to the wing if needed. With the Sharks’ deep stable of wingers, that likely won’t be necessary right away — especially with the center depth chart in need of a boost. Wings Stacked, Center Thin San Jose loaded up on the flanks this summer, trading for rugged right winger Ryan Reaves and signing Philipp Kurashev to join Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette. On the left, the newly signed Jeff Skinner brings scoring punch alongside ...
