Summary

Running Back Rank: #12All Players: #19

Ridley had a breakout season as the Patriots lead back. He proved he can start and produce big numbers as their No. 1 back. Ridley was a consistent force all season, having 70-plus yards 11 of 16 games. He had four 100-yard games and his first 1,000-yard season as a pro. He also scored 12 touchdowns, having touchdowns all but six games. The only knock was a lack of work in the passing game, having six receptions all season despite the Patriots being a pass-heavy team. Ridley should once again be the lead back for the Patriots this season. Ridley isn't a huge back but runs with power and does well in space. He excels between the tackles as a runner. As mentioned, he isn't much of a receiver, though, having nine receptions in two seasons.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Ridley has more value in TD-only leagues but still is a solid fantasy back outside of those leagues. His lack of work in the passing game just hurts his value although we think he'll get more chances in that area this season. Ridley is a low-end No. 1 or top No. 2 fantasy back. We think he can improve his yardage totals from last season, getting around 1,600 total yards and double-digit scores.

Notes

Jun 04 07:43 pm

New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley (hamstring), TE Jake Ballard (ankle) and CB Alfonzo Dennard (shoulder) were injured during OTA practice Tuesday, June 4. Ridley pulled up with a right hamstring injury. Ballard hurt his left ankle attempting to make a catch. Both sat out and watched the day's remaining workouts, but a source said both escaped serious injury. Dennard, meanwhile, was carted off after hurting his left shoulder during team drills.

New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley has added a 'noticeable amount of muscle' this offseason.
Fantasy Impact: This should help keep him stronger throughout the season. He is the top back for the Patriots.

Apr 30 09:20 am

New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley is projected as the starting two-down running back, with RB Brandon Bolden and LeGarrette Blount challenging for the top spot. RB Shane Vereen is projected as the team's third-down back, with newcomer RB Leon Washington challenging for the job.
Fantasy Impact: Ridley remains the back to own in New England. We expect him to get plenty of work once again.

Jan 14 10:57 am

New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley played in just 27 of the team's 66 offensive snaps in the AFC Divisional Round. RB Shane Vereen, in turn, saw an increase in playing time, particularly with the loss of RB Danny Woodhead (thumb) to injury.
Fantasy Impact: Ridley still produced despite the limited playing time. He has produced on a consistent basis all season.

Dec 24 01:53 am

The New England Patriots coaching staff stayed with RB Stevan Ridley in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite recent fumbling problems. Ridley played the most snaps (35) against the Jaguars, and he finished with 84 yards on 18 carries, and no fumbles.

Dec 20 12:06 am

New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley was on the field for only 19 of 96 offensive snaps in Week 15, but that was mainly due to the fact that New England was down multiple scores and RB Danny Woodhead was the better option with the team needing to pass more often. RB Shane Vereen was on the field for only one play in the second quarter, fumbled, and was benched. RB Brandon Bolden has been used strictly on special teams since he returned from injury.
Fantasy Impact: We still consider Ridley a fine play going forward. He should get much of the load at running back for the Patriots.

Dec 19 08:43 am

New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley has fumbled the football three times the past two games, officially losing two of those fumbles. It is not believed, however, the team has lost confidence in Ridley.
Fantasy Impact: He should continue to start and get most of the work in the near future.

Dec 17 02:43 pm

New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley only received one snap after fumbling the ball in the third quarter of the team's Week 15 game. The lack of snaps may have occurred because the team had to throw the ball to get back into the game.
