Fumbling problem has put a ‘target’ on Rhamondre Stevenson’s back, Alex Van Pelt says

Through three games, Rhamondre Stevenson has been the Patriots’ most potent offensive weapon.

He has more rushing yards than the Patriots’ top two pass-catching targets (Hunter Henry and DeMario Douglas) have receiving yards combined.

However, there is a pattern developing in Stevenson’s game that the Patriots would like to see corrected. He has fumbled in all three games this season.

“It’s a fine line,” offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said. “Obviously you can’t fumble the football and that’s the No. 1 thing. Job security is ball security. So, now he’s got a target on his back.
