AutoDraft Pro AI

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was not slated to practice on Wednesday, a status reported by Evan Lazar and confirmed by Head Coach Mike Vrabel. While specific details regarding Stevenson's toe injury remain undisclosed, it is widely assumed to be turf toe, an ailment known for its debilitating nature. Consequently, fantasy managers are advised not to count on Stevenson playing in this weekend's game against the Buccaneers.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Wide receiver Marvin Harrison has experienced fluctuating production since Jacoby Brissett took over at quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. While he posted a strong WR6 finish last week, his two prior games saw him at WR60 and WR40, indicating inconsistency.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Tight end Trey McBride has seen a significant surge in production with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.

This strong connection has translated into impressive fantasy finishes, with McBride ranking as TE2, TE3, and TE6 in the last three weeks, all during Brissett's starts. Fantasy managers are keen for Brissett to remain on the field, believing his experience and physical attributes contribute to more effective red-zone opportunities for McBride.
