Derrick Henry vs Rhamondre Stevenson: Who Should You Start?

Deciding between Derrick Henry and Rhamondre Stevenson is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Baltimore Ravens running back put up 16.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Rhamondre Stevenson of the New England Patriots averaged 11.6 in 14. A 4.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 4.4 points favors Derrick Henry, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Derrick Henry ran for 1595 yards and 16 touchdowns; Rhamondre Stevenson posted 603 and 7. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.

The Bottom Line

16.0 PPG for Derrick Henry versus 11.6 for Rhamondre Stevenson in 2025. The baseline favors Derrick Henry, though the right weekly matchup can flip the script. For a full breakdown that weighs matchup quality, form, and injury reports, try DraftCall's AI comparison engine.
