  "account": "In the realm of fantasy football during Week 3 of the 2026 season, the New England Patriots' running back committee remained a topic of much debate. Initially, it was expected that Rhamondre Stevenson would lead the charge, while TreVeyon Henderson might play a supporting role due to concerns over pass protection and injuries. However, the battlefield shifted in Week 1, with Stevenson carrying a heavy workload but remaining contained by a formidable Seahawks defense. Henderson's absence due to injury allowed Stevenson to shine in Week 1.\n\nIn Week 2, the roles reversed after Stevenson suffered an early fumble, forcing Stevenson out of action. Henderson stepped up, recording an impressive 76 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With the Patriots' RB situation proving to be unpredictable from week to week, Yahoo Fantasy analysts Justin Boone, Scott Pianowski, Matt Harmon, Joel Smyth, and Hayden Winks (to be featured on Thursday) have provided their consensus running back rankings for Week 3.",
