Who Should I Start? Ronnie Rivers or Terrell Jennings

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to re-sign running back Ronnie Rivers to a one-year deal. The contract amount has not been disclosed. Rivers has spent the last three seasons with LA, though he never garnered more than 32 carries despite appearing in 34 games since 2022. He's a versatile back and profiles to be a solid handcuff if ever called upon in that capacity. However, he's more of an asset on special teams for the Rams, piling up 75.7% of his 2024 snaps in that phase of the game. The 26-year-old will continue to vie for offensive snaps with backup Blake Corum behind incumbent starter Kyren Williams. Rivers can currently be ignored for fantasy purposes.

New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings got his biggest workload of the season in Week 9 against the Falcons, and he converted his 11 carries to 35 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 24-23 win. He hauled in his only target for a nine-yard catch as well. The undrafted rookie from Florida A&M played just 17 snaps compared to TreVeyon Henderson's 51, but he was able to vulture the touchdown in the first half and finished with three red zone carries. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missed Week 9, and if he's out agin in Week 10, Jennings would likely continue his role as a change-of-pace and red zone option in a timeshare with Henderson. In that scenario, he would have touchdown-dependent upside off waiver wires if you need help in the backfield.
