Who Should I Start? James Conner or Rhamondre Stevenson

Monday, October 2, 12:38 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner rushed 11 times for 52 yards while adding a four-yard reception off of two targets in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers. Due to San Francisco taking a quick lead, the Cardinals had no choice but to abandon the run game in the second half. Despite this, Conner actually averaged 4.7 YPC on his 11 attempts, and no other Arizona running back received more than one carry. As the current RB13 in the entire NFL, Conner is averaging a healthy 5.1 YPC and will look to further cement his role as the team's No. 1 RB heading into next week's matchup against Cincinnati.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for just 30 yards on 14 carries against the Cowboys on Sunday evening. He also hauled in two of three targets for an additional 10 yards through the air. The Patriots lost by a score of 38-3, falling to 1-3 on the season. Stevenson's relative struggles were the product of an ugly game that saw Mac Jones get benched in the second half. With that said, the Patriots face the Saints next week, which could be a bit more favorable. Stevenson should be treated as a low-end fantasy RB2.
