Will Stevenson play?

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) remains questionable for today's 4:05 pm ET kickoff vs. the Raiders. We won't get New England's inactives until 2:30. The Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan "fully expects" Stevenson to play "and probably be featured." Callahan adds: "How healthy is he? I don’t have a %. But he’s the Pats’ best offensive player in a near must-win game they want to slow down. I don’t think missing 2 practices is as big a deal this late in the season. Pats have been playing the long game to keep players healthy all year." ESPN's Mike Reiss is less sure of Stevenson's availability, noting that he was "very careful" on that injured left ankle in Friday's practice. But Reiss notes that Stevenson likely improved over the last 2 days and that the Patriots did not elevate RB J.J. Taylor from the practice squad. Ultimately, Stevenson is worth waiting on for plenty of fantasy teams. But you'd ideally have a viable late-game replacement in the range of a Latavius Murray/Antonio Gibson/Josh Palmer (flex spot).
