Episode notes
Start Stevenson If Henderson Sits
- Start Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 17 if Travion Henderson is out because the Jets are a top matchup.
- Expect Stevenson to push 17–20 touches with increased receiving opportunities, placing him near RB1 range.
Matchup Can Trump Talent For RB Choice
- Emmanuel Wilson is viable but ranks a tier below Stevenson unless Jordan Love starts and the matchup shifts.
- Matchup context (Jets vs. opponent) can flip preferences between volume-driven backs and talent-driven backs.
Prefer Samson Or Jordan Over Sanders
- Prefer Dylan Sampson if active, and if not, favor Jawar Jordan when Woody Marks is out.
- Raheem Sanders is a lower-priority option unless short-yardage or goal-line work becomes frequent.
