Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England Patriots (vs. BUF)

Did you think this would be TreVeyon Henderson? No, no, no. Mike Vrabel is back to his old tricks, pushing the plodding veteran over the vastly superior and more explosive rookie. As fantasy managers, we have no choice but to play the cards as they are, not how we want them to be.

After being eased in for one week, Rhamondre Stevenson was right back in the lead role before the Patriots’ Week 14 bye. He played 58% of the snaps and saw 15 opportunities, the exact same as Henderson.

While this backfield is more of a split than it was the first time these teams played, that was Stevenson’s best game of the season. The veteran back totaled 142 yards on 16 touches, posting 21.2 fantasy points.

The Bills are a run funnel defense. They allow the sixth-most fantasy points per game to running backs.

Of course, that will benefit Henderson as well. He is very much worthy of being in lineups. But don’t expect the Patriots to score all of their touchdowns through the air. At the goal line, it is going to be Stevenson and I expect him to score for the first time since Week 7 this week, which will be enough to give him solid RB2 numbers.

Woody Marks, RB, Houston Texans (vs. ARI)

After Nick Chubb left last week’s game with a rib injury, it was all Woody Marks. Fantasy managers got an extremely raw deal with the rookie came out for literally one play, giving Dare Ogunbowale the chance to punch in a short touchdown. That should’ve been Marks’ score.

How the Texans utilized their running backs on Sunday night is very telling, though. Even if Chubb plays, he is nothing more than a guy who gives Marks a breather. This is no longer a timeshare, as the thoroughly finished Chubb offers absolutely nothing but a warm body.

Marks is the lead back and the Texans are prepared to fully lean on him. If Chubb doesn’t play, we may be looking at Chase Brown without Samaje Perine levels of usage for Marks.

The Arizona Cardinals allow the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. They just surrendered 212 yards on the ground to Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Fire up Marks as a potential RB1 this week.

Chris Rodriguez, RB, Washington Commanders (vs. NYG)

Chris Rodriguez is the clear lead back for the Commanders. How much does that matter? It depends on the matchup.

Given that Rodriguez offers nothing in the passing game, he is purely touchdown or bust. If he doesn’t score, you’re not getting 10+ fantasy points. Last week, C-Rod didn’t score. However, he did rush for a very respectable 52 yards on 10 carries. Unfortunately, the Commanders fell behind by a lot very early and really never had the ball.

Things should be different this week at home against the Giants, who allow the third-most fantasy points per game to running backs.

When these teams met in Week 1, Jacory Croskey-Merritt ran for 82 yards and a touchdown. Austin Ekeler (remember him?) had 26 yards on six carries. Even Jeremy McNichols got in on the fun with four attempts for 25 yards.

JCM has been relegated to third string. He only even saw the field last week because the score was 31-0 in the fourth quarter.

This game should be more competitive, but game script should not get away from the Commanders, regardless of whether it’s Jayden Daniels or Marcus Mariota at quarterback. Rodriguez is a good bet to find the end zone.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. | NYG (vs WAS)

The expectation is for Tyrone Tracy to be fine after suffering a hip contusion in Week 13 before this team went on bye, but it really shouldn’t matter if you have a competitive fantasy team.

Over his past two games, his 30 carries have gained just 98 yards, and Devin Singletary outplayed him against the Patriots in a major way. More concerning than the limited efficiency on the ground was the fact that his 13 routes yielded just one target, a catch for a loss of three yards.

His being a receiver in a former life was interesting following the Cam Skattebo injury, and we saw him catch seven of eight targets for 119 yards in the two weeks before this dud, making the airball that much more harmful.

I still think he’s the most likely Giant RB to earn a target. Still, if that’s not a forgone conclusion and he’s going to give up the valuable work on the ground to Singletary, there’s no clear path for him to return to top 30 production, even in a plus-matchup.
