Rhamondre Stevenson vs RJ Harvey: Who Should You Start?
Rhamondre Stevenson (11.6 PPG) and RJ Harvey (10.8 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two running backs are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Rhamondre Stevenson played 14 games for the New England Patriots; RJ Harvey suited up 17 times for the Denver Broncos.
A 0.8-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.
RJ Harvey is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 47 targets into 356 yards, while Rhamondre Stevenson profiles as a more traditional rusher with 603 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats RJ Harvey carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
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.
