Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or Ashton Jeanty

Saturday, October 11, 12:56 AM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is headed for a sizable role workload again during Sunday's Week 6 contest against the New Orleans Saints. Despite losing three fumbles through five games, he has held onto his lead-back role. Both Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson should see a slight uptick in touches with Antonio Gibson (knee) done for the year, but it seems like the former will remain the No. 1 running back in New England for the time being. He salvaged his fantasy performance last week with two touchdowns and could be headed for another strong outing against the Saints. New Orleans has allowed the 11th-most rushing yards, seventh-most receiving yards, and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Stevenson ranks as a mid-range RB3/flex this week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty carried the ball 23 times for 75 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also caught two of his four targets for an additional 11 receiving yards. While fantasy managers will be rightfully intrigued by the rookie's volume and touchdown, there continues to be some concern about his efficiency (or lack thereof) as he was held to just 3.26 yards per carry against the Titans, bringing his season average down to 4.04 YPC. Jeanty's road gets tougher in Week 7 as he faces the Kansas City Chiefs. In that matchup, the Boise State product is best viewed as a mid-to-low fantasy RB2.
