Patriots Rb Rhamondre Stevenson Might See Most Of The Carries In Week 1

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson might in line to start the regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday, Sept. 9, as RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) remains sidelined.

Truth be told, Stevenson might have started anyway, but now he could see a lion's share of the carries, with only first-year RB Corey Kiner as the other active running back on the 53-man roster.

Henderson has been unable to practice since Aug. 24 due to an ankle injury, and his status for Week 1 is seriously in doubt. In Week 1 of the 2025 season, Stevenson played 46 snaps to just 25 for Henderson, and Stevenson sees more playing time because of his ability to pick up the blitz, and the coaching staff's confidence in his doing so.

Huddle Up: Stevenson could be a low-end RB1 or top-tier RB2 against the Seahawks if Henderson is inactive, with Kiner potentially subbing in for occasional breathers. Stevenson might be in line to see 25-30 total touches in this Super Bowl LX rematch at Lumen Field in Seattle.
