Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or Jaylen Wright

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was finally back to full speed during last week's win over the New York Giants. Stevenson missed three games due to a toe injury. During that time, rookie TreVeyon Henderson went wild with five touchdowns in three games. The rookie back has rushed for over 60 yards in five of his last six games. Henderson is playing so well that the Pats can't take the ball out of his hands. The expectation is that the two backs will split up the workload down the stretch of the season. Stevenson rushed for 40 yards on 12 attempts last week, while Henderson finished with 67 yards on 11 carries. The Patriots are on a bye this weekend, but the expectation is that Henderson will see a larger chunk of carries over the final four games. Fantasy managers should continue to hold Stevenson while lowering their expectations.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had a career day in Week 14's 34-10 win over the New York Jets after De'Von Achane (ribs) exited early. Wright finished with 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown while also seeing three targets but not hauling in any of them. The second-year back has only been active in six games this season, with 10 touches being his most in a game, which came back in the Week 8 blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. He's been firmly behind rookie Ollie Gordon II in the pecking order for touches, but Wright operated ahead of Gordon in this game after Achane left in the second quarter due to a rib injury. Gordon also punched in a touchdown on seven carries. The severity of Achane's injury is currently unknown, but Wright would emerge as a priority waiver-wire addition if Achane were to miss any time.
