Rhamondre Stevenson – New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans
Scott makes some great points in his reasoning to sit Damien Harris, and for a lot of those same reasons I am suggesting you start Rhamondre Stevenson agains the Titans this week as your flex play. First off, expectation is everything. A flex player can hit at the 8-10 point mark, where a RB1 or 2 start needs a lot more output to be considered successful. And as we’ve seen, the Pats look content to split the workload on the ground pretty evenly between Stevenson and Harris, so a hit or miss could boil down just to who gets the TD in any given game. However, I think with how bad the Titans are against the pass, and the Patriots willingness to use Stevenson in the passing game more than Harris, he has just a tad more upside and better chance of finding pay dirt. I’d expect a double digit day out of Stevenson in Week 12.
