TreVeyon Henderson

Probably needs a Stevenson injury to be consistent for fantasy. Monitor offseason/camp for year two bump buzz.

Henderson heads into his sophomore season after a highly efficient rookie campaign where he piled up over 1,000 total yards and nine touchdowns as New England's change-of-pace weapon. While Rhamondre Stevenson still blocks his path to a true workhorse role, Henderson's game-breaking speed gives him standalone flex value and immediate RB1 upside if he can polish his pass protection

TreVeyon Henderson's speed and pass-catching are enticing aspects of his game. When Rhamondre Stevenson got hurt, the Patriots rolled with Henderson and rode out the inefficiencies per touch and it led to big plays. 

Still, Henderson's down-to-down efficiency isn't on the level of Stevenson. His power and footwork against disruptive plays in the backfield aren't as refined as Stevenson, and Henderson's pass protection and route running need improvement, too. 

Stevenson is the slower back, but he's the better all-around option. Mike Vrabel understands this as a former linebacker and as a coach who had strong years with a power running game in Tennessee. 

Look for a split that's close to 50/50, but with Stevenson earning slight edges in volume as runner and receiver.
