New England Patriots DFS Spin
Rhamondre Stevenson rushed 10 times for 54 yards and brought in six of eight targets for 24 yards in the Patriots’ 24-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered. Stevenson was in line for an expanded workload with Damien Harris (thigh) inactive, but that never quite materialized thanks to the Bills building a 21-7 lead by halftime. The second-year pro still had a robust presence in the passing game as has recently been the norm, posting at least six catches for the third straight game and fifth time in the last six contests overall. Disappointing as his night was on the ground relative to pregame expectations, Stevenson’s rushing yardage tally was actually his highest since Week 9. The 2021 fourth-round pick could be back to working in a split backfield in a Week 14 Monday night road matchup against the Cardinals on Dec. 12 if Harris gets healthy over the extended time ahead of that contest.
Arizona Cardinals DFS Spin
Kyler Murray completed 18 of 29 passes for 191 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday’s 25-24 loss to the Chargers. He added seven rushes for 56 yards and an additional score. Murray returned from a two-game absence and had both Marquise Brown and DeAndre Hopkins on the field for the first time this season. Even so, he wasn’t all that efficient as a passer by averaging only 6.6 yards per attempt. He offset that mark with passing scores of 33 and six yards, his third consecutive game with multiple touchdowns through the air. Significantly, Murray was also active on the ground — he chipped in a five-yard rushing score — despite his recent recovery from a hamstring injury. The Cardinals will immediately head into their Week 13 bye, but this performance may be an indication that Murray is in for a strong close to the campaign.
