Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Rhamondre Stevenson

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a subdued performance in Sunday night's 22-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers, recording just one reception for 10 yards. However, Brown's impact extended beyond the stat sheet as his crucial downfield blocking played a significant role in Dallas Goedert's highlight-reel touchdown catch and run. With the Eagles leaning heavily on their running game and defense, Brown's services as a primary playmaker were not needed against Green Bay. Nevertheless, his presence on the field commands defensive attention and keeps opposing secondaries honest. As the Eagles prepare to host the winner of Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round, Brown remains a formidable weapon capable of making game-changing plays when called upon.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson remains an unreliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Stevenson was effectively benched last Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers. While he did log the first touch of the game, he finished the contest with just two carries for one yard while Antonio Gibson rushed the ball 12 times. Gibson has led the Patriots' backfield in snaps for two consecutive weeks, which is the product of Stevenson's poor ball security this season, including a costly Week 16 fumble against the Bills. The Patriots have been somewhat quiet about their personnel decision for Sunday's regular-season finale, but we would expect Stevenson to remain in the doghouse. He's not a dependable fantasy option as the Patriots' season wraps up.
