Do not let the fear of the Jets defense make you even think about pivoting away for Raman Stevenson.

This week, the Patriots offense has been surprisingly competent and Stevenson has led the way with a total of 46 carries through the first two games and two touchdowns as well.

Perhaps you're worried that the matchup combined with the surge from Antonio Gibson last week makes Stevenson more of a borderline RB two, but I swear that is not the case here.

The Patriots will remain a run heavy offense.

I like Stevenson for another solid RB.

One week 25 plus touches 100 total yards and his third consecutive week with a touchdown.
