Devin Neal vs Rhamondre Stevenson: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two running backs. Rhamondre Stevenson (New England Patriots) averaged 11.6 PPG over 14 games in 2025, outscoring Devin Neal (New Orleans Saints, 5.2 PPG) by 6.4 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
That 6.4-point weekly advantage for Rhamondre Stevenson is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Devin Neal ran for 206 yards and 2 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.
One scheduling note: Devin Neal is off Week 12 and Rhamondre Stevenson Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
