BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: This isn't a difficult decision to make -- you start running backs with elite volume. Volume is the most important thing you can have at the RB position, and No. 38 has been getting plenty of it since recovering to full health after his foot injury earlier in the season.

In his last two games, has been targeted eight times, scored four total touchdowns, and pounded the rock into the opponents faces 30 times. He hasn't gained much yardage, but has seven total touchdowns on the season. Getting goal-line opportunities is a valuable thing for fantasy managers.
He should maintain his role as the clear lead back, and he'll face a Chicago Bears defense in Week 10 that's allowed the 12th most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. That's at least not a terrible matchup. Quarterback Drake Maye provides a significant boost to this offense, though he can be turnover-prone at times.
Should Stevenson not score a touchdown, he could easily bust this week, but it's always worth taking your chances on a player with this kind of volume and TD upside.
