Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or Isiah Pacheco

Wednesday, November 12, 5:06 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday night against the New York Jets, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Stevenson will miss his third consecutive game due to the toe injury suffered in Week 8 against the Browns, setting up rookie TreVeyon Henderson for another workhorse role in Week 11. Henderson finally broke out in Week 10 at Tampa Bay, handling 14 carries for 147 yards and breaking off two long touchdowns. ESPN's Dan Graziano suspects that Stevenson will reclaim his role as the Patriots' primary runner between the tackles when he is healthy enough to return, which could come in Week 12. Henderson should be fired up as a borderline RB1 for Thursday night, with Terrell Jennings (knee) questionable as well.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) was not seen at practice during the media portion of the session on Thursday. With the team facing the first place Denver Broncos, the Chiefs may be forced to rely on 30-year-old back Kareem Hunt to carry the load if Pacheco remains unavailable. Hunt has flashed his talent this season with 82 touches for 357 yards, and a team-high six touchdowns. Hunt is a popular add for fantasy teams heading into Week 11, and should be considered a must start if Pacheco sits.
