Rhamondre Stevenson Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Rhamondre Stevenson missed Week 6 against Houston, but it sounds like he's nearing a return from the foot injury that kept him sidelined.
On Friday, Stevenson was a full participant in practice for the team's London meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also told reporters that he "feels like [he] should be ready to play Sunday."

That's a good sign, though he still needs to avoid any pregame setbacks. He officially carries a questionable designation into Sunday morning's contest, but having that game be in London means fantasy managers will have plenty of time to find a replacement if Stevenson is ruled out.
Assuming, of course, that fantasy managers wake up in time to make lineup changes ahead of an early-morning contest.
Rhamondre Stevenson Fantasy Football Outlook
Stevenson has 356 yards on 77 carries this season and has found the end zone three times on the ground.
In his return to the field, Stevenson will likely split touches with Antonio Gibson, making it tough to really know how to handle him in fantasy.

Fantasy managers should treat him as an RB4 play, albeit one with a good bit of upside. Still, hold him out of your lineup unless you're really desperate for help at running back. There's too much risk with Stevenson coming off the injury.
