From the article

Henderson averaged 5.1 yards per carry, with two particularly huge weeks (10 and 15), while splitting work with Rhamondre Stevenson for most of the season. The Patriots refused to use Henderson as the clear lead, especially in the playoffs, when Stevenson had 73 opportunities (rushes plus targets) to 36 for Henderson.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBreakout

5.1 YPC upside negated by Stevenson's playoff preference and superior metrics.

Henderson averaged 5.1 yards per carry and flashed exciting potential, leading fantasy managers to call for more usage; if he becomes a clear 2:1-touch lead back, 240–250 touches could yield 1,500 yards. However, Rhamondre Stevenson bounced back with 11.6 FPPG in 2025 (vs. 12.6 in 2022) and was preferred in the playoffs with 73 opportunities to Henderson's 36. From Week 8 onward, Stevenson outperformed Henderson in EPA/Play, yards per touch, rush percentage of 10+ yards, and play percentage of 20+ yards. The source votes close but no, saying Henderson would be a near-guarantee if Stevenson were injured, but the Patriots seem happy with their dangerous duo.
