TreVeyon Henderson News
Tuesday, April 7, 5:51 AM
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is coming off the most productive season of any rookie back in a Josh McDaniels-led offense since Knowshon Moreno in 2009. McDaniels' famously complex protection schemes have often resulted in essentially a redshirt season for most of his rookie runners, followed by a consistent year-two leap. Henderson was touted as the best pass-protecting halfback in a loaded 2025 class, and while he was the first Patriots rookie to see 500 offensive snaps since Curtis Martin in 1995, his still-developing play strength and recognition often made him a liability on obvious passing downs, with the coaching staff favoring Rhamondre Stevenson in critical situations. Additional time in the Patriots' new weight room and one more year with McDaniels' playbook, along with his clearly evident big-play ability, could see Henderson carve out a larger share of running back snaps in 2026. While Stevenson will still get his, the moves made by New England in free agency suggest an emphasis on getting more productive on early downs and less reliant on Drake Maye to bail the team out of third-and-long scenarios. When healthy, Alijah Vera-Tucker is one of the most disruptive interior linemen in the league, while fullback Reggie Gilliam and tight end Julian Hill add snarl that the team sorely lacked in gotta-have-it situations in 2025.

Ashton Jeanty News
Tuesday, April 21, 8:08 AM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty was one of the hottest names in dynasty fantasy football just one year ago. The buzz around the Boise State product has cooled down slightly, and managers should capitalize on this opportunity to acquire the running back in dynasty fantasy football leagues. It felt like there was this perception during the regular season that Jeanty was inconsistent, or perhaps even underperforming. The former may be true, but the latter certainly isn't, as Jeanty finished his rookie campaign as the RB11 in PPR leagues with 975 rushing yards, 346 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns. The softened narrative was likely caused by the state of the Raiders' offense, as the team limped to a 3-14 record that was the worst in the NFL. That narrative will shift in the coming weeks as the Raiders embark on a new chapter with consensus No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza. The state of Vegas' offense is trending up, and Mendoza's presence should drive up the value of all Raiders skill players in fantasy football, including Jeanty. Plus, in a draft that is relatively sparse at the running back position, we don't expect the Raiders to bring in any major competition for the former first-round pick. All in all, Jeanty continues to trend up and should be in the conversation as a potential top-five fantasy running back in 2026. He has top-tier upside in dynasty fantasy football leagues, ranking as RotoBaller's overall RB3. Dynasty managers should buy now before it's too late.
