This situation is similar to the Bears one we discussed above, where the lead running back is absolutely in play this week. If Stevenson is active, he is a “start” against the Bucs. If he is out, fantasy managers should continue to ride Henderson, who finished as the RB15 last week. If Stevenson is active, Henderson is a low-floor, high-upside flex option. The Bucs have allowed the seventh-most fantasy PPG to opposing RBs. They give up 1.5 yards before contact per carry, which is the third-highest mark in the NFL. They have allowed the most receiving yards to RBs, as well.
(EDITOR’S UPDATE: Stevenson was ruled out on Friday’s injury report.)
