Set up for big workload again
Stevenson's teammate Damien harris (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Buffalo.
Stevenson has been the lead back even when Harris is healthy, and the second-year pro then sees even more work when his teammate is out, averaging 15.4 carries and 6.4 targets in the five games Harris has missed or left early with an injury. The Bills present a tough matchup, but Stevenson's workload projection is among the best of all running backs for Week 13, and his involvement as a pass catcher keeps him somewhat protected against the game-script concerns that often plague bigger backs.
