Who Should I Start? TreVeyon Henderson or Cam Skattebo

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.

The injury to New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) has a four- to six-month recovery timeline, which would set up Skattebo to be ready for offseason OTAs and minicamp, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Skattebo had one of the more gruesome injuries that you will see, and ultimately suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and a deltoid ligament rupture. The 23-year-old had a successful surgery to close the wound and put him on track to make a full recovery. The fourth-rounder out of Arizona State was having a great rookie campaign, totaling 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries to go with 24 receptions for 207 yards and two scores on 32 targets through eight games. Second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr. will be expected to take over as the lead back in New York, with veteran Devin Singletary mixing in.
