New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson cemented himself as the team's lead back while fending off Rhamondre Stevenson last Sunday, and in doing so, he also strengthened his position as a low-end RB1 in fantasy football. Henderson continues to find himself in the must-start range ahead of Monday Night Football against the New York Giants in Week 13. The rookie played 65% of the snaps last week, holding Stevenson to just seven touches for 10 yards. Meanwhile, Henderson had 18 carries for 66 rushing yards, plus three catches for an additional 15 receiving yards. The Ohio State product didn't find the end zone, but he did have five touchdowns over his previous two games. In four games since taking over as the Patriots' primary ball carrier, he is the third-highest-scoring running back in PPR leagues. He'll have a great chance to strengthen his fantasy value this week against the Giants, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Henderson ranks as the overall RB9 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson took advantage of backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson missing three games with a toe injury, compiling 264 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns on 47 carries over that span. The 23-year-old second-rounder also added 10 catches on 12 targets for 66 yards and another TD. He had at least 14 rushing attempts in all three of those starts. Stevenson returned in the Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but Henderson outsnapped him 46 to 22 and saw a healthy 18 carries for 66 yards, adding three receptions for 15 yards on four targets. Stevenson will continue to be involved if he's healthy in New England's backfield, but it looks like Henderson has finally taken over starting duties for the Pats as they head into a Monday night tilt against the Giants in Week 13. Against New York, Henderson will have clear RB1 upside in fantasy in a plus matchup.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson rushed for 66 yards on 18 carries during Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught three of his four targets for an additional 15 receiving yards. There was some concern about Henderson's role with Rhamondre Stevenson returning from injury. While Stevenson did earn some touches, Henderson remained the primary running back. Now that he has the lead role all to himself, the rookie needs to turn his attention to improving his efficiency. He averaged 3.7 yards per carry on Sunday, just one game removed from averaging 3.3 yards per carry against the Jets. If he can improve his scoring or yardage efficiency, he can be an RB1 going forward. In the meantime, he ranks as more of a mid-range RB2 for Week 13 against the New York Giants.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson looked terrific as the team's lead back over the last few weeks, but the coaching staff refused to commit to him as their top option out of the backfield for Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Henderson's increased role was a result of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missing time, but now that Stevenson has been removed from the injury report, we expect the backfield dynamic to look a little different. While we expected Henderson to lose some volume when Stevenson came back, we'd be a little surprised to see the rookie lose his lead-back role after he tallied 264 rushing yards, 66 receiving yards, and five touchdowns over the last three games. Nevertheless, head coach Mike Vrabel wouldn't name Henderson the starter. Don't be surprised if Stevenson remains a thorn in Henderson's fantasy managers' sides once again this week. The rookie has RB1 upside, but he ranks as more of an RB2 with Stevenson back in the mix.
Nov 22, 2025 1:46 AM EST
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has played well in Rhamondre Stevenson's (toe) absence the last three games, averaging 5.6 yards per carry for 264 yards and four touchdowns on 47 rushing attempts. Henderson also caught 10 passes for 66 yards and another touchdown. However, head coach Mike Vrabel was non-committal when asked if there will be a more even workload between the two once Stevenson is back from his injury, according to Tom Carroll of WEEI. "I think we'll probably have to have that conversation when it's certain that we're gonna have Rhamondre. He's gonna work through practice today, and we'll see where things go. TreVeyon's helped us, Rhamondre's helped us, Terrell [Jennings'] helped us." Stevenson returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, but it's unclear if he'll play in Week 12 against the Bengals. Fantasy managers who have Henderson are surely hoping that the impressive rookie has done enough recently to warrant a bigger workload when Stevenson is back.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson capitalized on a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 11, scoring three touchdowns as the Patriots became the first team in the NFL to reach nine wins this season. Henderson totaled 19 carries, 62 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, five catches, 31 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. While he remained relatively inefficient in terms of yards per carry, he dominated in nearly every other category. Henderson took advantage of an increased workload with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined, handling a career-high 88 percent snap share and 24 total touches. Stevenson is getting closer to returning, but the rookie has proven that he deserves to be the lead back even when Stevenson is healthy. Henderson should continue to be viewed as a high-end RB2 in fantasy football.
Nov 13, 2025 11:47 PM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is on track to lead the backfield in Week 11 after Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was ruled out for a third consecutive game. After totaling 150 yards and two touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, Henderson will look to keep his momentum during a short week, facing off against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. New York ranks near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, but a spread of New England -12.5 could lead to a heavy dose of touches for Henderson, as well as teammates Terrell Jennings (knee) and D'Ernest Johnson. The rookie still has some things to clean up -- he averaged just 1.96 YPC on non-scoring plays last week -- but if he can continue to play more than three-quarters of the snaps while carving out a role as a rusher and receiver, he'll be in line for a very strong fantasy outing in Week 11. He ranks as a solid RB2 with RB1 upside.
Nov 13, 2025 12:21 AM EST
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson will look to build on his breakout performance heading into Week 11. Henderson dominated the backfield in Week 10, racking up 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches to help lead the Patriots past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers had been waiting for Henderson to get his opportunity, and he capitalized in a big way, playing 84% of the snaps after Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was ruled out and Terrell Jennings (knee) exited early. With both backs still limited in practice ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the New York Jets, Henderson could be in line for a workhorse role and another big fantasy outing in Week 11.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson (knee) was listed as a full participant at Tuesday's practice after he was limited on Monday due to a knee issue, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Henderson tweaked his knee in the Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but he returned to the contest and finished with a career day in the 28-23 win. The 23-year-old second-rounder had 14 carries for the second straight week with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined and ran for 147 yards and two touchdowns. One of his touchdowns was an explosive 69-yard scamper down the sideline. Henderson finally broke out for the Pats and fantasy managers, but can he do it again this Thursday night in a plus divisional matchup versus the New York Jets? Henderson's stock is certainly trending upwards, but his fantasy ceiling in Week 11 will depend on whether Stevenson can end his two-game absence.
Nov 11, 2025 5:18 PM EST
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson (knee) is on the Week 11 injury report and was listed as a limited participant on the team's estimated practice report. In addition to Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were also limited, leaving New England's backfield up in the air for a Week 11 divisional clash on Thursday night versus the New York Jets. Henderson injured his knee in the Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but re-entered the game, so of the Patriots' three injured backs, he seems to have the best chance of playing this week. With Stevenson missing a second straight game on Sunday, the second-rounder out of Ohio State had his best showing of the year, carrying the ball 14 times for the second straight week for a season-high 147 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Henderson also added one catch for three yards. If Stevenson misses a third straight game, Henderson will be a clear RB2 against the Jets in fantasy football.
Nov 10, 2025 6:52 PM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson had 14 carries for 147 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also converted his lone target into a three-yard reception. The rookie essentially had the backfield all to himself with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined and Terrell Jennings (knee) exiting in the first quarter. While Henderson's performance was nothing short of impressive, it's worth noting that the bulk of his production came on the two touchdown runs, which went for 55 and 69 yards. On non-touchdown runs, he was averaging just 1.9 yards per carry. Fantasy managers would like to see Henderson break off efficient runs more consistently going forward. Nevertheless, Sunday's huge game was a step in the right direction, and he should continue to be viewed as a strong RB2 option against the Jets.
Nov 9, 2025 5:11 PM EST
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Kyle Williams are expected to be more involved during Sunday's Week 10 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Tracy Wolfson of CBS. Both rookies will see increased workloads due to their teammates' injuries. Henderson is stepping into the lead-back role for the second consecutive week with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined. The Ohio State product handled a 75 percent snap share last week, getting involved on the ground and through the air. Meanwhile, Williams should earn more snaps and targets with Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined. Williams logged a season-high (and, thus, career-high) snap share last week after Boutte went down. He failed to catch a pass in that victory, but he should have more opportunities with at least a couple of targets headed his way this Sunday. Henderson is startable as an RB2 in fantasy football, while Williams is more of a speculative stash.
Nov 9, 2025 10:48 AM EST
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.
Nov 8, 2025 5:18 PM EST
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.
Nov 5, 2025 3:21 PM EST
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.
Oct 31, 2025 1:33 PM EST
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.
