Stevenson’s absence opens up a strong opportunity for RB Ezekiel Elliott to cash in on the vacated work in Week 14 after handling 22 total opportunities in Week 13. At this point in his career and on a terrible Patriots offense, he offers little appeal, if any, when it comes to upside - but the potential for him to handle 25+ touches in this one effectively mandates that he be started as a solid volume play this week and as long as Stevenson is out. He remains inefficient on a per attempt basis (just 3.8 yards per carry is the second-lowest mark in a season of his career), but if he’s able to reel in a few passes like he did in Week 13, his fantasy floor will absolutely be usable in fantasy lineups this week.
