Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or Dameon Pierce

Friday, September 29, 10:37 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson should be started in most fantasy leagues despite a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. The 25-year-old has struggled with efficiency this season, mustering just 2.91 yards per carry, but has managed to rank as the overall RB18, largely thanks to his passing-game usage (10 receptions on 13 targets through three weeks). If the Patriots find themselves playing behind against a tough Dallas defense, Stevenson could carve out a significant receiving role. He's a mid-to-low fantasy RB2 at the moment.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce picked up his first touchdown of the season in the team's 37-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Pierce saw more usage on offense this week, which helped him secure 17 touches in this one. He ran 14 times for 31 yards and one touchdown while also catching three passes for 28 yards. The second-year back got the Texans on the board early with a one-yard score in the first quarter. He will look to continue his touchdown streak next week at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
