No sign of Jakobi Meyers, Trent Brown, Isaiah Wynn, Damien Harris, and Jalen Mills at today’s Patriots practice. Garrett Gilbert also missing from the practice squad.

Rhamondre Stevenson has been crushing in fantasy all season long, but even more so when Harris has missed time. Stevenson's passing game prowess makes him a must-start regardless, but he has an overall RB1 ceiling if Harris is out in Week 14.

Patriots ruled out RB Damien Harris for Thursday night’s game vs. Buffalo.

Stevenson should be in store for a busy Week 13 with Harris out of the lineup, even in a tough matchup against the Bills. Harris and Strong could factor in a bit, but Stevenson projects to be an RB1 on Thursday night.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that Patriots RB Damien Harris is not expected to play Thursday night against the Bills.

There is a possibility Harris could miss more time since he is considered week-to-week, the blurb said. Stevenson will remain the Patriots' lead running back while Harris is sidelined and should be considered an RB1 candidate in this role.

Patriots injury report for the first practice before facing the Browns Sunday. Of note: Mac Jones (ankle) is still listed as limited. Damien Harris (hamstring) also limited.

Zappe lead the Patriots, also helped by the defense, to a shutout victory over the Lions last week. Stevenson ran 25 times for 161 yards after Harris got hurt, so if Harris misses this week, Stevenson would be a very good fantasy play getting the bulk of the work. Zappe would get the start again if Jones can't go, but Jones did practice last week and seemed close to playing.

Patriots RB Damien Harris is likely to miss multiple games because of the hamstring injury.

Harris suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Lions. Harris is still getting tests, but the expectation is he'll be out for a bit, the tweet went on to say. We already posted a story about Stevenson's big day on the ground with Harris out, and Stevenson should get a bulk of the work going forward with Harris sidelined, making him a great fantasy option.

Bill Belichick's postgame comments spoke volumes when he said of Rhamondre Stevenson, "He's a really good football player. So glad we have him. Love him. Love him."

The blurb pointed out the Patriots will likely always have some type of RB committee, but the piece thinks Stevenson has now put himself in position to be the top option in any pairing as he rushed for 161 rush yards.

Patriots RB Damien Harris is out for the rest of Sunday's game vs. Detroit with a hamstring injury.

Harris had four carries for 11 yards before suffering the injury and his day is now done. The backfield is all Rhamondre Stevenson now as Pierre Strong was inactive today, so Stevenson is all they have available.

Damien Harris doesn't seem to be worried about whatever had him limping off the field late in the game.

"I'm fine dog *chuckles* look at me, I'm fine!"

It's something to keep an eye on for owners as Harris appeared to have a somewhat serious injury against the Steelers in Week 2. While what he said is good news, if he's unable to go it could mean a huge, potential workload for Stevenson. We'll hopefully know more Wednesday.

The Patriots are placing RB Ty Montgomery on IR. WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey will be signed to the 53-man roster.

Montgomery, who injured his right knee Aug. 26 and surprisingly was active for the season opener Sept. 11, will miss at least four games by going on IR. Montgomery actually scored the team’s lone TD on Sunday as part of their three man RB rotation and played 21 snaps. More passing down snaps should now go to Stevenson and he should continue to be the back to own in an always-muddled Patriot running game.

Bill Belichick said this morning on The Greg Hill Show that every Patriots player except Tyquan Thornton, who's on IR, "should have a shot" to play Sunday vs. Miami.

That includes Ty Montgomery and Isaiah Wynn, who are dealing with injuries.

"Hopefully they'll all make it."

It's a situation to watch heading into Week 1. If Monty is active and plays, it would most likely cut into Stevenson's fantasy production in the passing game and perhaps two minute drills. Montgomery is a risky play because of his limited role though.
