Rhamondre Stevenson Player Props
Rhamondre Stevenson Over 23.5 Receiving Yards (-112)
This hasn’t been a vintage season for Rhamondre Stevenson, but it’s one that he’s ending on a high note with a productive postseason run that has helped propel the Patriots to the Super Bowl.
With the Patriots drafting TreVeyon Henderson, it looked like Stevenson's time as the starter was up, a feeling that only increased when the rookie tore it up while Stevenson was out injured for three games.
However, the team trusts Stevenson and he got snaps once he returned and has really led the backfield down the stretch.
New England showed that trust by giving him having 51 carries and 10 targets during the playoffs, compared to Henderson’s 24 carries and three targets. Henderson is the more dynamic back and is capable of ripping off a huge chunk play, but Stevenson earns the hard yards and has been pretty good in the receiving game when called upon, which is what I’m expecting here.
Only two teams allowed fewer rushing yards than the Seahawks during the regular season, yet somehow they gave up the sixth-most receiving yards to the position, allowing an average of 37.6 receiving yards per game, as well as leading the NFL in receptions allowed to RBs.
Since returning from that injury back in November, we’ve seen Stevenson take control as a pass-catcher. He’d had three or more targets in six of nine games, and has covered this line of 23.5 on five occasions too.
Now factor in that that run of games also involved his limited snap count on return against the Bengals, as well as that crazy second half snow against the Broncos in the AFC Championship game, and this start to feels like a bet that’ll likely land.
