Could rejoin backfield mix With James White (hip) expected to miss the rest of the season, Stevenson is a candidate to reenter the Patriots' backfield mix after being a healthy inactive for the team's past t... Impact In the immediate aftermath of White's injury, it was Brandon Bolden -- normally a core special teamer -- who handled the bulk of the team's change-of-pace duties behind lead back Damien Harris. However, in the coming weeks as the Patriots look to fill the void created by White's absence, Stevenson and/or J.J. Taylor could have an opportunity to log extra snaps as well, especially if one or both can prove capable of handling blocking assignments. In any case, Stevenson seems likely to be active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, though he'll remain off the fantasy radar until he solidifies a steady role in New England's offense.
