New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is on track to earn his second consecutive start during Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined, Henderson will operate as the primary option out of the backfield while Terrell Jennings also gets involved. The rookie handled 75 percent of the offensive snaps in a similar backfield dynamic last week, tallying 14 carries, 55 rushing yards, four catches, and 32 receiving yards against the Falcons. Atlanta's run defense ranks similarly to the Buccaneers in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, with a key distinction being that Tampa gives up more receiving yards to the position while Atlanta surrenders more rushing yards. Thus, Henderson has a chance to accumulate some extra points in PPR leagues if he can continue to carve out a role in the receiving game. He ranks as a low-end RB2 once again this week.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson played a season-high (and, thus, career-high) 75 percent of the offensive snaps during Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie took advantage of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) being sidelined and tallied 14 carries, 55 rushing yards, four receptions, and 32 receiving yards. While he did earn the bulk of the backfield snaps, carries, and targets, he shared more touches than expected with Terrell Jennings, who had 11 carries and one catch. Nevertheless, the backfield mostly belonged to Henderson, and we could see this trend continue in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stevenson did not practice on Wednesday, leaving Henderson to handle first-team reps as the Patriots prepare for the Bucs. Stevenson will likely need to get on the field in some capacity on Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play in Week 10. Even if Stevenson does suit up, he's not a lock to start; his 3.4 yards per carry and three lost fumbles in 2025 are concerning, and Henderson's decent showing last week could be enough for the Patriots to give him the keys to the backfield. To make a long story short, Henderson will continue to face competition from Stevenson or Jennings no matter what, but the rookie out of Ohio State is one step closer to taking full control of the New England backfield. At the moment, he ranks as a low-end RB2 in redraft leagues.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson will likely operate as the team's primary option out of the backfield in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) has been ruled out already, leaving Henderson as the next man up, based on the depth chart. Of course, there's no guarantee that Henderson steps into an every-down role or even earns the start, as New England has been overly restrictive with his usage this year. The rookie is averaging just 6.6 percent touches per game, and he only played 21 percent of the offensive snaps last week. However, we can likely put those concerns aside now that Stevenson has officially been ruled out. Terrell Jennings should get involved, but common logic points to Henderson starting and handling at least 60 percent of the snaps on Sunday. His matchup is moderately tough; Atlanta has allowed the 15th-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025. On a positive note, they did allow 91 total yards and a touchdown to De'Von Achane last week. Henderson is a high-end RB3 with RB2 upside.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson is "in line for a bigger workload" in the Week 9 game on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons with backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) officially ruled out, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. If Henderson is for some reason available on your league's waiver wire, you should be picking him up immediately and inserting him into your starting fantasy lineup this weekend with Stevenson out. The 23-year-old Henderson, who was a second-round pick this year out of Ohio State, hasn't really impressed all that much in his first eight NFL games and has had ball-security issues, but increased volume in a strong offense warrants attention. He comes into this weekend with 228 rushing yards and a touchdown on 53 carries while adding 16 catches for 99 yards through the air. Atlanta's defense has allowed the 11th-most half-PPR fantasy points per game to opposing RBs, too.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson had his most efficient game of the season in the team's Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, rushing for 75 yards on 10 carries, although he did lose a fumble near the goal line. It was an encouraging outing for Henderson as they used him on more outside runs and toss plays to get him in space, where he looked much more comfortable. And now with starter Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) banged up and missing both practices to open the week, it could open up a great opportunity for Henderson to see more snaps and handle his biggest workload of the season. His highest snap share in a game this season was 50% back in Week 5 against the Bills, where running back Antonio Gibson suffered a season-ending ACL injury. Since then, Henderson surprisingly hasn't had a snap share higher than 30% in any of the three games. The rookie out of Ohio State has earned praise from offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels this week, which hopefully signals more touches and better days ahead for Henderson. If Stevenson is ultimately ruled out, Henderson would rank as an RB2 with upside for Week 9 against the Falcons.
Oct 31, 2025 10:04 AM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson's long-awaited emergence finally happened during last Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. The rookie rushed for 75 yards on 10 carries, with his best play being a 27-yard run. He wasn't involved in the passing game, nor did he lead the team in touches, but he was far more efficient than Rhamondre Stevenson and proved that he can excel even against a strong run defense like Cleveland's. An increased rushing workload is a good sign for Henderson going forward, as he should continue to earn more snaps on a wide variety of downs. His 21 percent snap share from last weekend is bound to increase, too. The biggest area of focus for Henderson now is ball security, as he lost his first career fumble against Cleveland. With that said, Stevenson hasn't been any better, losing three fumbles of his own in 2025. Moving forward, Henderson should continue to eat into Stevenson's workload while emerging as a fantasy football threat. He should be added off waivers in leagues with at least 10 teams, and he could be a worthwhile RB3/flex option in leagues with at least 12-14 teams when he takes on the Falcons in Week 9.
Oct 29, 2025 1:21 AM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson was finally able to break through on the ground during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Before this game, Henderson was held to 27 rushing yards or less in each of his last three games. In Week 8, Henderson rushed 10 times for 75 yards in the win over the Browns. It was a nice outing for the rookie back that hasn't seen much success early in the season. The hope is that this will lead to more carries for Henderson going forward. However, he'll still be stuck splitting up the carries with Rhamondre Stevenson, so his ceiling is limited.
Oct 26, 2025 6:29 PM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson saw his snap share decrease last weekend, so his fantasy outlook remains relatively bleak for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. The rookie played just 14 percent of the offensive snaps, which was his lowest mark so far this year. He finished with two carries and zero targets while teammate Rhamondre Stevenson had 20 touches, albeit with decent efficiency. While Stevenson has been playing well, the Patriots didn't draft Henderson to ride the bench, so his usage has been quite confusing. Until we see Henderson carve out a near-50 percent snap share and represent a threat to Stevenson's position atop the depth chart, the rookie can be avoided in fantasy football. That's especially true this week against the Browns, who have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Redraft and dynasty managers would be wise to leave him on their bench, as he is a solid handcuff and possesses long-term upside.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson played a season-low 14% of the offensive snaps in the Week 7 blowout win over the Tennessee Titans, and he watched backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson handle a season-high 75% snap share. The second-round rookie had a season-low two rushing attempts for five yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game for the first time in seven weeks. Per the Boston Herald's Doug Kyed, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Henderson's lack of involvement was "circumstantial" and that the Ohio State product should see more of a normal role this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Pats essentially went with the hot hand in Stevenson in Week 7 after he established a nice rhythm as the lead back. Henderson has plenty to work on and is only averaging 3.6 yards per carry in his first NFL season, and right now, there's no clear path for him to unseat Stevenson as the lead back in New England. Henderson will be a tough sell as an RB3/flex in fantasy this week against a stingy Browns defense.
Oct 23, 2025 5:30 PM EST
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson had only two carries (on nine offensive snaps) for five yards in the 31-13 blowout win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 on Sunday, while backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson saw a season-high 18 carries and scored a touchdown. "It's just kinda how it played out. Thought Rhamondre was running well. Had some good protections. TreVeyon's gonna be a large part of what we do ... that's just kind of where it was this week," head coach Mike Vrabel said when asked about Henderson's sparse usage. It was especially concerning that Henderson barely played with the Patriots having a comfortable lead in the second half. Stevenson has had his share of fumbling issues, but he hasn't put the ball on the ground in the last two weeks and was very efficient on Sunday. The 22-year-old Henderson should get more involved in the offense eventually, but right now, it's hard to trust him as even an RB3/flex in fantasy lineups.
Oct 20, 2025 3:38 PM EST
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson was one of the buzziest names in fantasy football after his strong preseason showing. However, the 22-year-old has failed to carve out a consistent role in his team's offense through the first seven games of his career. For the season so far, Henderson has recorded 252 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 59 total touches. He logged just two carries in Week 7 and has failed to reach double-digit touches in four out of seven games in 2025. Henderson appears to be firmly behind veteran Rhamondre Stevenson on the running back depth chart in New England. Henderson maintains significant dynasty appeal, and deep-league redraft fantasy managers should continue to be patient as well. However, in shallow redraft leagues, Henderson might be difficult to roster given his current playing time situation.
Oct 20, 2025 10:19 AM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has continued to share backfield reps with Rhamondre Stevenson through six weeks of the 2025 season. As a result, the rookie has mostly stayed off the fantasy radar. That could change in Week 7 as Henderson has a prime opportunity to break out against the Tennessee Titans. New England is heavily favored over Tennessee, so a positive game script could lead to plenty of touches for the running backs, particularly Henderson. The Titans are pretty bad against the run, too, allowing the most rushing touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Between game script and matchup, Week 7 could offer the perfect storm for Henderson to separate himself from Rhamondre Stevenson and break out with a huge game. He's an intriguing RB3/flex with RB2 upside this week.
Oct 18, 2025 12:26 PM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson remains relegated to the No. 2 role on the depth chart, but he could still carve out some fantasy relevance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Rhamondre Stevenson lost his third fumble of the season last Sunday, which is one reason why Henderson could be given more opportunities with the football this week. The rookie will also get more snaps and touches after Antonio Gibson (knee) was placed on season-ending injured reserve. While we expect Stevenson to handle the majority of the snaps again this week, Henderson should still carve out a role for himself, especially against a New Orleans defense allowing the 11th-most rushing yards, seventh-most receiving yards, and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Henderson is a low-end RB3/flex this week.
Oct 11, 2025 12:58 AM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson continues to make a push for more opportunities within the offense, but he hasn't seen much change in his fantasy value after five weeks of the NFL season. The Patriots continue to lean on Rhamondre Stevenson a little more than Henderson, even after the former lost three fumbles in three games. Stevenson touched the ball nine times on Sunday and was set up for two easy touchdowns despite averaging just two yards per carry. On the other hand, Henderson had eight touches and averaged four yards per carry, but still played less than half of the offensive snaps. He'll need to carve out a much larger snap share or start getting involved as a primary target for Drake Maye in the passing game before he becomes a worthwhile fantasy starter. In the meantime, he should be stashed on the bench.
Oct 8, 2025 2:11 AM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has not yet emerged as the team's lead back, and therefore, he's tough to trust as a fantasy starter heading into Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. Henderson is the future lead back in New England, but through the first four games of his career, the backfield has belonged to Rhamondre Stevenson. During that span, Henderson has a modest 36.6 percent snap share, 97 rushing yards, 87 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry but still works his way onto the field thanks to his draft capital, his pass-blocking skills, and Stevenson's fumbling issues. With that said, Stevenson projects as the lead running back once again in Week 5, leaving Henderson in the backup role and therefore largely dependent on finding the end zone. The Bills have allowed the ninth-most rushing yards, fourth-most rushing touchdowns, and 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, leaving Henderson as a low-end RB3/flex who can be benched in leagues with 10 or fewer teams.
Oct 4, 2025 10:24 AM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson remains the future of the team's backfield, but his ascension to the No. 1 role is taking a little longer than expected. The Ohio State product played a season-low 31 percent of the snaps this past Sunday, which was a significant reduction from his 46 percent snap share just a week earlier. Furthermore, he caught two passes along the way, which was also a season- and career-low. All in all, the Patriots continue to use Rhamondre Stevenson more than Henderson, and they've also mixed in some rushing attempts for Drake Maye and Antonio Gibson. Until he's the clear-cut No. 1 running back on a weekly basis, Henderson deserves to be benched in fantasy football. From a waiver wire perspective, though, he's an interesting candidate to be added in leagues with at least 12 teams, especially since he could blossom into New England's lead back by midseason. He's a top waiver wire target for Week 5.
Oct 1, 2025 3:17 AM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson could be in line to register a career-high snap share against the Carolina Panthers in Week 4. Henderson led the team with a 46 percent snap share last weekend, and that was only after Rhamondre Stevenson got the start and fumbled away his role. Stevenson ultimately lost two fumbles in the contest, creating plenty of buzz about Henderson potentially handling more volume this week. While head coach Mike Vrabel wouldn't publicly commit to reducing Stevenson's role, it seems likely given last week's split, as well as the level of production that Henderson has shown this year. He has specifically impressed on passing downs as both a receiver and blocker. The Ohio State product is the overall RB35 in fantasy football this year, and while the presence of Stevenson may continue to be a thorn in his side, it won't necessarily preclude him from having standalone fantasy value. Managers should view Henderson as a solid RB3/flex option this week. RotoBaller's fantasy experts agree, ranking him as the overall RB30.
Sep 27, 2025 1:20 AM EST
ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss reports that New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson was the first up in a tackling/ball-carrier drill at Wednesday's practice, followed by Antonio Gibson and then Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson has been a disappointment for fantasy managers through the first three weeks of his rookie season, but his role might be about to take a huge jump after Gibson and Stevenson combined to lose three fumbles in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 22-year-old Ohio State product has failed to reach 30 rushing yards in all three games, although he did see a season-high 14 touches on Sunday after Gibson and Stevenson coughed up the football. The Pats will probably continue with a RB committee, but Henderson certainly could operate as the RB1 in Week 4 in a strong matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Sep 24, 2025 3:30 PM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson rushed for 28 yards on a team-most 11 carries during Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the rookie was incredibly inefficient, he was still trusted as the primary option out of the backfield after Rhamondre Stevenson lost two fumbles and Antonio Gisbon and Drake Maye each fumbled once. Henderson's ball security made up for his lack of efficiency, and given that Stevenson's fumbling issues are nothing new, the second-round pick may be in line to lead the backfield once again in Week 4. His 46 percent snap share last Sunday paints a picture of what his usage might look like next week. Fantasy managers will want to see his yards per carry and red-zone usage both increase before trusting him in lineups, but on a positive note, his ball security, pass catching, and blocking have all been quite dependable. He's trending upward and ranks as a fringe top-36 fantasy running back for this week's clash with Carolina.
Sep 24, 2025 1:11 AM EST
New England Patriots running back Tre'Veyon Henderson rushed for 10 yards on three carries during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. He also caught two passes for an additional 30 yards through the air. After an impressive season opener, the rookie took a step back this past weekend as he was out-produced by Rhamondre Stevenson. In fact, Stevenson led the team in carries, rushing yards, targets, receptions, and receiving yards. Stevenson's big game should allow him to hold onto the lead-back role a little longer, even if it's just on a week-by-week basis. He should maintain his 65 percent snap share while Henderson accounts for 30 to 35 percent of the offensive snaps. The rookie should continue to be stashed on fantasy benches heading into Week 3 against the Steelers. Meanwhile, Stevenson remains a solid RB2 option for the time being.
