Fantasy Tiers

Emanuel Wilson: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #60 at the position). Rhamondre Stevenson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #22 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Emanuel Wilson is producing at 25% of elite pace and Rhamondre Stevenson at 53%. That ranking gap means Rhamondre Stevenson carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Emanuel Wilson vs Rhamondre Stevenson: The Full Breakdown

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 Emanuel Wilson (Green Bay Packers, 5.4 PPG) by 6.2 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.

A 6.2-PPG gap gives Rhamondre Stevenson the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Emanuel Wilson ran for 496 yards and 3 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 thing to note: both players share a Week 11 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Rhamondre Stevenson at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Emanuel Wilson is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Emanuel Wilson (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Rhamondre Stevenson (age 28, 4 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
