Jawhar Jordan vs Rhamondre Stevenson: Who Should You Start?
Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Jawhar Jordan (Houston Texans) finished the 2025 season averaging 6.6 fantasy points per game in 4 games. Rhamondre Stevenson (New England Patriots) came in at 11.6 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Rhamondre Stevenson carries a 5.0-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Jawhar Jordan ran for 193 yards and undefined 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 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
