Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or Cameron Ward

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will look to build on last week's big game as he takes on the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. Stevenson is coming off one of his best games of the year as he posted a season-high 18 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old seemed to widen the gap between him and TreVeyon Henderson on the depth chart, leaving the rookie as nothing more than a bench stash in redraft leagues. Stevenson, on the other hand, has high-end RB2 upside, but he'll need to find success against a stingy run defense. The Browns have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, leaving him in the high-end RB3/flex tier for now.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward has been playing better lately, but is still off to a slow start to his rookie campaign. Over the last three games, Ward has thrown for over 220 yards in each of those contests. The biggest problem is that Ward has thrown an interception in each of the last five contests. The 23-year-old is also missing his top wide receiver in Calvin Ridley (hamstring) again this weekend. It's hard to imagine Ward having much success against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Due to bye weeks, fantasy managers might have no choice but to start Ward. However, he should be viewed as a low-end option.
