Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Rhamondre Stevenson

Tuesday, November 4, 9:04 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor finally cooled off in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in the disappointing loss to Pittsburgh. It was the first time all season that Taylor had been held to fewer than 66 rushing yards and just the third time in nine games that he was held out of the end zone. Taylor will now head back home to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has struggled to slow opposing rushing attacks this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to running backs in eight games. Taylor remains a rock-solid RB1 in all fantasy formats heading into Week 10's contest.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) will not practice on Wednesday, per Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. Stevenson came down with a toe injury in the team's Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, wasn't able to practice last week, and was held out of the one-point win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. It looks like Stevenson hasn't made much progress, putting him in danger of missing a second straight contest when New England takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road this Sunday. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson handled 75% of the offensive snaps against Atlanta with Stevenson sidelined, carrying the ball a season-high 14 times for 55 yards while catching four of six targets for 32 yards. Terrell Jennings saw a 25% snap share and surprisingly had 11 totes for 35 yards and one touchdown out of the backfield.
