Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or TreVeyon Henderson

Saturday, October 18, 12:24 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson could see a large workload again in Week 7. The Patriots are facing off against the Tennessee Titans, which means the Patriots could enjoy a positive game script and therefore run the ball quite often. That would be good news for Stevenson, who has a slight edge on the lead-back role in New England despite some fumbling issues. Volume is just half the battle, though. Stevenson has struggled with efficiency at times this year, including last week when he had 13 carries for 18 yards (1.4 YPC). Fortunately for him, the Titans have been worn down by the run, allowing 4.7 YPC and the third-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025. With such a favorable matchup headed his way, Stevenson ranks as an RB3/flex.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has continued to share backfield reps with Rhamondre Stevenson through six weeks of the 2025 season. As a result, the rookie has mostly stayed off the fantasy radar. That could change in Week 7 as Henderson has a prime opportunity to break out against the Tennessee Titans. New England is heavily favored over Tennessee, so a positive game script could lead to plenty of touches for the running backs, particularly Henderson. The Titans are pretty bad against the run, too, allowing the most rushing touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Between game script and matchup, Week 7 could offer the perfect storm for Henderson to separate himself from Rhamondre Stevenson and break out with a huge game. He's an intriguing RB3/flex with RB2 upside this week.
