Outlook Seth McGowan

Seth McGowan vs Dallas — Handcuff Appeal With Limited Standalone Value

McGowan is healthy and operating as the primary backup behind Jonathan Taylor on the Colts' depth chart. Over his last two games, he logged 16 carries for 75 rushing yards, providing efficient relief on the ground while recording just one reception. His touch volume remains firmly capped so long as Taylor leads the backfield.

Our weekly projection estimates McGowan for around 32 rushing yards on seven carries against Dallas. Fantasy managers have aggressively added him, pushing his roster rate to 52%, though his 2% start rate indicates he is strictly viewed as an insurance stash. He belongs on fantasy benches for this matchup.

Outlook Rhamondre Stevenson

Rhamondre Stevenson vs Green Bay — Reliable Lead Role Keeps Him in Lineups

Stevenson continues to spearhead the Patriots' backfield as the primary ball-carrier and a trusted pass protector. With fellow back TreVeyon Henderson dealing with an illness and play-calling consistently funneling touches his way, Stevenson remains the clear focal point on early downs and high-leverage situations.

New England enters as slight home favorites against the Packers, providing a favorable script for ground work. Our weekly projection slots Stevenson for roughly 43 rushing yards on 11 carries plus three catches for 24 yards. Backed by 100% fantasy ownership and consistent target volume, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a solid RB2.
