Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or Isaac Guerendo

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.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo recorded 572 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 99 total touches as a rookie in 2024. However, through five games in 2025, the 25-year-old has not played a single offensive snap. Guerendo is buried on the 49ers running back depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr. As long as both McCaffrey and Robinson Jr. remain healthy, it appears unlikely that Guerendo's role in San Francisco's offense is going to change. Guerendo maintains some appeal in dynasty leagues, but he should remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the time being.
