Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Week 11: Drake Maye, Rhamondre Stevenson

2 hours ago 1

The New England Patriots earned a victory last Sunday, as they defeated the Chicago Bears 19-3 at Soldier Field.

Rookie quarterback Drake Maye wasn't his best, completing 60% of his passes for 184 yards, one touchdown and an ugly interception. However, he didn't need to be great to help his team earn the win.

Running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 74 yards, which was his highest total since Week 5 when he ran for 89 against the Miami Dolphins, but he failed to reach the end zone.

Should fantasy owners deploy either player when the Patriots face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at Gillette Stadium? Let's find out.

The Rams' defense is in the middle of the league regarding points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, as they surrender 15.8 points per game (tied for 16th).

Maye does have the ability to run, which is a bonus, but it just feels like a risk for fantasy football owners to rely on the rookie at such a pivotal point in the season.

Verdict: Sit 'Em

Again, the Rams are near the middle of the league for stopping running backs, as they're allowing 17.8 fantasy points per game to opposing rushers.

Stevenson is further removed from an injury that limited him earlier in the year and with the line getting more consistent, they should be able to run the ball better.

Verdict: Start 'Em
