Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to increase his production next season.

How well will New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson play in 2026? Stevenson saw a reduction in carries last season with TreVeyon Henderson as his backfield mate. He went from 207 carries in 2024 to 130 in 2025.

He recorded the same amount of touchdowns in both seasons (7), but increased his yards per rush from 3. 9 in 2024 to 4. 6 last season, as well as his receiving yards from 168 to 345 in that span.

Henderson had a season of note in 2025 as a rookie, going for 911 rushing yards, which played a role in Stevensonโ€™s reduced role last season. According to ESPNโ€™s Mike Clay in his 2026 NFL Projection Guide, Stevenson projects to get 176 carries and go for 751 rushing yards, as well as seven rushing touchdowns next season. Henderson (202) is forecasted to get the edge over Stevenson in the carries department for the second straight season.

However, Stevenson matches his touchdown total from the previous two seasons, remaining effective as a scoring threat for New England. The Patriots โ€™ ground game is in line to operate with a balanced attack in 2026. Stevenson will have the opportunity to help the Patriots strive for another trip to the Super Bowl in the 2026 season in hopes of winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
