Who Should I Start? Rhamondre Stevenson or Isaac Guerendo

Wednesday, November 5, 1:30 PM

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) will not practice on Wednesday, per Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. Stevenson came down with a toe injury in the team's Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, wasn't able to practice last week, and was held out of the one-point win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. It looks like Stevenson hasn't made much progress, putting him in danger of missing a second straight contest when New England takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road this Sunday. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson handled 75% of the offensive snaps against Atlanta with Stevenson sidelined, carrying the ball a season-high 14 times for 55 yards while catching four of six targets for 32 yards. Terrell Jennings saw a 25% snap share and surprisingly had 11 totes for 35 yards and one touchdown out of the backfield.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was thrust into action in his rookie season in the NFL in 2024 because Christian McCaffrey missed most of the year due to injuries. Guerendo finished with 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) and also chipped in 15 catches on 16 targets as a pass-catcher for 152 yards. Fantasy managers probably viewed him as a pretty valuable handcuff for the injury-prone CMC going into 2025 drafts, but the Niners' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. before the season pretty much killed whatever fantasy appeal he had. Through the first seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, the 25-year-old former fourth-rounder has yet to play an offensive snap with CMC and B-Rob both staying healthy. Instead, Guerendo has been limited to a special teams role, returning five kickoffs for a combined 100 yards.
