DraftCall Analytics

Start Rhamondre Stevenson over MarShawn Lloyd in 2026.

Rhamondre Stevenson averaged 11.6 PPG in 2025 to MarShawn Lloyd's 6.8, a 4.8 point per game edge. Both play running backs, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit.

The Bottom Line

Rhamondre Stevenson has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 4.8-PPG advantage is real (11.6 to 6.8), and Rhamondre Stevenson's 9 touchdowns show scoring upside. MarShawn Lloyd is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

MarShawn Lloyd vs Rhamondre Stevenson: The Full Breakdown

Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. MarShawn Lloyd (Green Bay Packers) finished the 2025 season averaging 6.8 fantasy points per game in 12 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 4.8-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. MarShawn Lloyd ran for 325 yards and 3 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.

MarShawn Lloyd has his bye in Week 10, and Rhamondre Stevenson rests in Week 11. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Rhamondre Stevenson at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. MarShawn Lloyd is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: MarShawn Lloyd (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Rhamondre Stevenson (age 28, 4 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
