Rhamondre Stevenson took the bulk of the carries for New England...Stevenson and the Patriots had a hard time finding success on the ground outside of Maye's scrambling, with Stevenson averaging just 2.8 yards per carry and the team averaging only 0.35 yards before contact per rush, one of the worst marks in the league. Still, both Stevenson and Henderson are capable receivers (the former had five grabs for 44 yards last week)

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

2.8 YPC in Week 1 despite bulk carries; capable pass-catcher but run game struggling.

Stevenson took the bulk of carries in Week 1 but averaged just 2.8 yards per carry; the Patriots averaged only 0.35 yards before contact per rush, one of the worst marks in the league. The Steelers forced four fumbles against New England last year, including two from Stevenson, and will likely try to jar the ball loose again on Sunday. However, Stevenson is a capable receiver—he had five grabs for 44 yards in Week 1—meaning he could still make a big impact even if the run game falters.
