2025 Fantasy Football RB Start/Sit: Week 6

Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots at New Orleans Saints

The 27-year-old veteran doesn't have to worry about Antonio Gibson stealing carries anymore, though we could see more of rookie TreVeyon Henderson. Stevenson rushed only seven times last week but was the preferred option around the end zone, scoring twice. He has at least nine utilizations in four of five contests this season, which is enough of a role to warrant a desperation play. The Saints have surrendered three rushing and two receiving scores in the first five outings, allowing an average of 93.4 rushing yards (12th most). It's the eighth-best matchup for receptions per game, and Stevenson's versatility grants him a few cracks at extra touches each week.

Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans at Las Vegas Raiders

Pollard has been his usual steady, high-floor self this season. His worst effort was 9.2 PPR points in Week 2, and last Sunday's 16.8 was the high-water mark from the Memphis product. That's even with the return of RB Tyjae Spears (ankle), who was utilized only four times. While the latter could see more touches this week, the Titans may opt to ease him in once again. Either way, Pollard has a great opportunity for scoring ease. Las Vegas has ceded an RB touchdown every 13.4 attempts, which is the highest frequency in football this season. For that alone, it's worth locking the veteran into your lineup, even though the Raiders are only the 16th-softest defense overall.

Week 6 Fantasy Football Sit 'em: Running Backs

Tyrone Tracy Jr., New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles

In Tracy's first game back from a shoulder injury, it is uncertain how much work he'll receive if he's to be eased back. More disconcerting, however, is whether versatile rookie Cam Skattebo did enough to carve out a substantial chunk of Tracy's workload. Philadelphia has allowed running backs the eighth-most PPR points per game in 2025, and most of the damage came via rushing yards against (97.6/game), which represented 40.6% of the total fantasy production. There are multiple factors working against New York's ground success, including a potential lopsided score taking away the running game as well as a depleted receiving corps allowing Philly to crowd the line.

Hassan Haskins, Los Angeles Chargers at Miami Dolphins

Similar to Tracy, Haskins' expected workload is tough to pin down. The Chargers have Kimani Vidal representing the more adept option in the passing game as the duo attempts to replace Omarion Hampton. In Week 6, the only reason to consider Haskins is if you're quite desperate for a lukewarm body with some chance of a cheap touchdown. The Dolphins allowed the second-most rushing yards on the fifth-highest number of attempts faced per game, but only three defenses have done a better job of limiting ground scores to the position. This matchup profiles to be much stronger for Vidal as a receiving outlet.
