Why Rhamondre Stevenson

Toss-Up· low

RB1 and lead back. Physical between-the-tackles runner with reliable receiving-game involvement.

RB26 at 12.0 projected with a 61% snap share, but Henderson's Week 2 return re-split the backfield; neutral JAX matchup (13th) doesn't tip it.

  • JAX ranks 13 of 32 against RBs (a middle-of-the-road matchup, 2-game sample).
  • Vegas implies 22.0 team points as 1.5-point underdogs.
  • Listed RB on the latest depth chart with a 61% snap share.

The call

  • Role is the swing factor: Stevenson played 84.5% of snaps as the lead back with Henderson out in Week 1, then Henderson's return split the workload again, so the 61% two-game snap share overstates his current share.
  • The 15% target share keeps a PPR floor, and the 12.0 projection at RB26 sits right on the flex/RB2 borderline in 12-team leagues.
  • The matchup is neutral: JAX ranks 13 of 32 in the DvP composite, and on a 2-game sample with 0.00 confidence it offers no real edge either way.
  • Game script is roughly even with a 22.0 implied total and a 1.5 spread, so no script-driven volume boost. Start him over a flex option projected under about 11 points; bench him for a clear lead back.

Latest on Stevenson

Role
