2023 was not a banner year for offense for the Patriots in general, and especially not for Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson played in just 12 games and saw his yards per attempt drop from 5.0 in 2022 to 4.0. Stevenson finished with 619 rushing yards and four touchdowns, adding another 238 yards on 38 scoreless receptions. Overall, his yards per touch fell from 5.2 to 4.4. Stevenson was barely usable in fantasy, finishing as RB31 in half-PPR formats.
There have been significant changes this offseason with the Patriots, with the new coaching staff including Alex Van Pelt as offensive coordinator. Stevenson, fresh off signing a sizable contract extension this offseason, profiles to be the lead back, but the lead back on an offense with so few weapons doesn't sound like a player that you NEED on your fantasy rosters. Stevenson projects to be a low-end RB2 this season.
