Henderson has totaled just 17.7 fantasy points over the last five weeks (3.5 per game) and logged single-digit touches in four of those five games with just 42 rushing yards in the one game with volume. Corey Kiner, a former undrafted free agent, has had more touches (22) and scrimmage yards (129) than Henderson (18 and 101) over the past three weeks. Henderson no longer possesses any meaningful role in the Patriots offense—not early-down, third-down, short-yardage, receiving, goal-line, or even game-away roles. He is essentially Dobbins with a slightly better chance at a breakaway play but less occasional touchdown upside. Even against a favorable Miami matchup this weekend, Henderson cannot be trusted.

TreVeyon Henderson has not reached 5 fantasy points in a game since Week 2. In the 5 games since, he's seen just 30% of the Patriots' RB touches. Matthew Berry notes there's still value as injury insurance for Rhamondre Stevenson, but that's about it.

Since Week 6, TreVeyon Henderson has continued to operate as Rhamondre Stevenson's change of pace with a 23.8% snap rate, 6.5 touches, and 31.5 total yards per game. Henderson is only a dart-throw flex with a good matchup; his rushing efficiency continues to be non-existent with only 1.79 yards after contact per attempt and a 12% missed tackle rate, but his home run speed is real. If he gets a crease, he can take any carry to the house. Miami has allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the eighth-most yards after contact per attempt, the seventh-highest gap yards per carry, and the sixth-highest gap rushing success rate (Henderson: 65.4% gap).

TreVeyon Henderson appears to be just a handcuff running back; his pass-blocking limitations seem to be keeping him off the field despite that being a strength at Ohio State, and he isn't seeing nearly enough volume to consider starting in fantasy. Jim Moorman would wait to draft Henderson until the ninth round or later as a mid-RB3 if drafting today, though Henderson remains a premier backup given his explosive playstyle and has posted two monster games as a rookie with at least an 80% snap rate.

Henderson has become a true roster clogger. He's giving the Patriots zero reasons to put him on the field; both Stevenson and Kiner average more yards after contact, rush yards over expected, and breakaway run rates. Henderson broke a 39-yard TD in Week 2 but hasn't exceeded 11 yards on a single carry since. He can't be played in the FLEX but can't be waived either.

Henderson's role has evaporated. Over the past three weeks, both Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner have out-carried him. Henderson holds only 22% snap share, 20% carry share, 17% route rate, and 4% target share, while Stevenson dominates at 65% snap share and 46% carry share.

I think it's getting lost in the shuffle on all the talk about how bad TreVeyon has been, but Rhamondre Stevenson seems like a pretty good sell right now. He'll still be the lead RB and main passing downs RB for New England, but Corey Kiner being inserted into the rotation is almost as bad for him as it is TreVeyon. Not only does a 3 RB rotation make it nearly impossible for any of them to get enough work weekly when everyone's healthy, but it really hurts the contingency value of Rhamondre s...

Uncertain whether Henderson would assume workhorse role if Rhamondre Stevenson missed time; Corey Kiner has performed well enough in run game to potentially limit TreVeyon's high-end handcuff upside in Week 8 vs. MIA.

Henderson still hasn’t taken the job. Stevenson’s the trusted back in New England. "He also looked good as a pass blocker, something that cannot be said for TreVeyon Henderson. The second-year back continues to be uneven in that area, while his feel for run-lane development is also still a major work in progress."
