BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~66 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~64
ANALYSIS: After being limited by several injuries last season, Rhamondre Stevenson finished last season with just 619 yards on the ground and 238 through the air with four scores.
However, in 2022, Stevenson finished as the No.7 running back in PPR, scoring with 1,040 rushing yards and the fourth-most receptions among running backs.
Earlier in training camp, the Oklahoma product expressed excitement that he would benefit from the change in rushing scheme that the new offensive coordinator, Alex Van Pelt, plans to implement. The 26-year-old emphasized that the outside zone scheme suits his running style and could set him up for success this season.

Even though the Patriots did bring in Antonio Gibson who should serve as the third-down the entire New England should be expected to run through Stevenson as their wide receiver room lacks a proven option, especially towards the red zone.
In addition, if rookie Drake Maye or veteran Jacoby Brissett can perform well, Stevenson should have even more scoring opportunities than he has gotten over the past few seasons, making him a great RB2 target in drafts.
