Stevenson resides in a fantasy netherworld. He’s not playing poorly enough that you think of him as a traditional sleeper. But he’s not playing well enough that you can plug him into your lineup with supreme confidence. That latter reason feels like justification for him to be in this space. The argument against Stevenson this year was that, despite being a lead RB, he was in an offense that wasn’t expected to produce much. So far, those fears have come true. He is far and away the leader in backfield snaps and touches. Yet New England has been one of the worst offenses in the league — and now veteran stalwart David Andrews is likely to miss the rest of the season.

This week, however, is a chance for Stevenson to end up on the positive side of the fantasy ledger. The Dolphins has been mediocre, at best, this year. Miami has allowed 100 rushing yards in every game and has given up multiple rushing scores in three straight contests. Because Mike McDaniel’s offense can’t move the ball without Tua Tagovailoa, game script shouldn’t be an issue for New England. If the game stays close, Stevenson should get plenty of touches. That could be enough for him to post his first quality fantasy total since Week 2.
