Quinshon Judkins vs Rhamondre Stevenson: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Quinshon Judkins and Rhamondre Stevenson is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.1 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Quinshon Judkins averaged 10.5 PPG with the Cleveland Browns across 15 games, and Rhamondre Stevenson posted 11.6 with the New England Patriots in 14.
When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Quinshon Judkins ran for 827 yards and 7 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.
Quinshon Judkins has his bye in Week 10, and Rhamondre Stevenson rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
