Rhamondre Stevenson

TreVeyon Henderson had himself a game with Rhamondre Stevenson out, but injuries put a damper on the day.

Patriots down two starters News story: With RB Rhamondre Stevenson out for a second straight week, rookie TreVeyon Henderson (51 of 68 snaps last week) is expected to lead the way again. Also, WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and LB Christian Elliss (hip) are out. (Mike Reiss on X) FF Today's Take: Rhamondre is dealing with a toe injury that kept him out in Week 9 which will leave Henderson and Terrell Jennings to handle the running back work for the Patriots. Henderson out-snapped Jennings by a wide margin last week but touches were closer -- 18-12 in favor of Henderson. Boutte had been getting the most playing time of an Patriots receiver through 9 weeks. Expect rookie Kyle Williams to see some action but he's not likely to be fantasy relevant.

Head coach of the New England Patriots Mike Vrabel announced that the team will operate without key players Rhamondre Stevenson and Kayshon Boutte on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
