Rhamondre Stevenson or Tony Pollard: Who Should You Start?

The call

• Volume is real — 59% snap share over 14 games as the listed RB means he'll get his touches regardless of script, which is the floor case for a flex play.
• The matchup cuts against him: Seattle grades 12 of 32 in DvP composite (32 = softest), so this is a top-third-tough run funnel, and a 20.5 implied total with New England a 3.5-point underdog trims the touchdown equity.
• A 9% target share means he's not a PPR-safe pass-game outlet, so if the run lanes close there's no receiving floor to bail out the box score.
• Tip it toward start if you're thin at RB and need the 12-plus touch floor; sit him for any back with a softer matchup or a real passing-game role.

The call

• Role is real: 63% snap share over 17 games makes him the primary back, and a -3.0 spread with a 21.3 implied total points to a healthy dose of second-half carries if Tennessee is ahead.
• The receiving side is the problem — an 8% target share means his PPR floor lives and dies on rushing volume and goal-line work, which is why he lands at RB28 on 11.5 projected points.
• The DvP composite of 25 of 32 reads soft, but it comes with a 0-game sample and 0.00 confidence, so there's no real matchup edge to bank on here.
• Tips to start if your alternative is a bench-level committee back or a low-volume WR3; tips to sit if you have anyone with a defined passing-game role.
