Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or TreVeyon Henderson

Saturday, November 8, 5:12 AM

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. had a season-high 53 rushing yards and his first touchdown of the season in Week 9 against the Giants. The production gave him his first RB2 finish of 2025. Robinson is unlikely to repeat last week's success when the 49ers host the Rams on Sunday. For one, the opportunity for Robinson to produce consistently is not there. Operating as an infrequently used change-of-pace back behind Christian McCaffrey has resulted in an average of 10 offensive snaps and 4.6 rushing attempts per game. Secondly, when Robinson does get on the field in Week 10, he will be up against a Rams defense that held him to 12 yards on five carries and offered McCaffrey 2.6 yards per carry in Week 5. Robinson projects as an RB5 and is better left on the bench in Week 10.

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.
