Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or Brian Robinson Jr.

Friday, November 22, 10:11 AM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has posted mixed results this season, ranking inside among the top 10 fantasy running backs in half of his games but also turning in three performances outside the top 40. Stevenson has struggled with efficiency this year, tallying a career-low 3.8 yards per carry. On the other hand, he has developed a nose for the end zone, posting a career-high seven touchdowns through just 10 contests. In addition to his touchdown tally so far, Stevenson's previous matchup against Miami resulted in an overall RB5 finish; he rushed for 89 yards, caught four passes, and scored a touchdown in his last time facing the Dolphins. Miami has been strong against the pass, but they're softer against the run, surrendering the 10th-most fantasy points and fifth-most total touchdowns to opposing running backs. The 26-year-old has a good chance to find the end zone, and he boasts legitimate top-12 upside once again.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. returned to action last Thursday and found the end zone for the seventh time this season and should be in a great position to stay hot facing the Dallas Cowboys. Throughout the season, Robinson has failed to score double-digit PPR points in just one game and is averaging a solid 65.5 rushing yards per game. In addition, he has continued to be deployed as the de facto red zone option out of the backfield, which has set him up for great scoring opportunities. Facing the Cowboys, who have allowed the 30th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season, suggests Robinson could be in store for another solid showing on Sunday afternoon, making him an RB2 with upside.
