The Patriots staged roster cuts with Terrell Jennings and Gee Scott Jr. released, signaling a three-man backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson, and TreVeyon Henderson as final 53-man decisions loom. Jennings showed preseason buzz but lands on the waiver/practice squad path, while Scott Jr. impressed in camp but didn’t crack the initial roster. NE’s WR and TE depth remains fluid, with Javon Baker, Kendrick Bourne, and the TE duo of Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper in the mix, plus Dippre and Westover breathing down the floor as potential practice-squad options.

Fantasy implications point to Stevenson maintaining clear RB1 status, Gibson likely handling a sizeable role as a veteran back, and Henderson operating as a change-of-pace option. Henry and Hooper anchor the tight end group, with Dippre/Westover possible future contributors. The Pats still have eight moves to finalize before the 4 p.m. deadline, making watchlists essential for late adds and potential waiver-week drops.

The Florida A&M football program hosted its 2025 Pro Day with a significant turnout, showcasing 14 former Rattlers to NFL and CFL scouts. Head Coach James Colzie III expressed pride in the players, highlighting their achievements and the program's growing reputation for producing NFL talent. In attendance were scouts from 12 NFL teams and two CFL teams, including the BC Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. A notable performance came from quarterback Daniel Richardson, who, after shedding over 20 pounds, ran a 4.68 40-yard dash.

Cornerback Kendall Bohler, a standout at the HBCU Combine, also impressed with a 4.63-second dash. Bohler, recognized as a top prospect, emphasized his improvement since the Combine. FAMU alumni currently in the NFL include Markquese Bell (Dallas Cowboys), Terrell Jennings (New England Patriots), Isaiah Land (Indianapolis Colts), and Xavier Smith (Los Angeles Rams). Jennings attended to support his teammates, showcasing the tight-knit community of the program. As the draft approaches, many players aim to join the ranks of former Rattlers in the NFL.

Rhamondre Stevenson, running back for the New England Patriots, is facing uncertainty for Week 6 due to a foot injury that has kept him out of practice all week. After being benched in Week 5 following multiple fumbles, his absence raises concerns for fantasy managers as the Patriots prepare to face the Houston Texans.

With a change at quarterback, the run game becomes crucial, and if Stevenson is unable to play, Antonio Gibson is expected to take on a larger role. The situation is evolving, and fantasy players should stay updated on Stevenson's status.
