Rhamondre Stevenson Carries Touchdown Streak Into Week 6
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has scored at least 17 PPR points and a touchdown in each of his last two games, and he'll look to keep that streak alive in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Stevenson has been impressive this season, ranking as the overall RB18 in PPR leagues. Not only has he maintained his large role in the receiving game, but he has also been used heavily in the rushing attack, despite the presence of second-year back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle). Henderson has battled an ankle injury while underperforming at times this year, leading to Stevenson earning more trust in this offense. The 28-year-old should be started in leagues with 12+ teams this week, especially against a Jets defense allowing the seventh-most rushing yards and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2026. With that being said, his exact outlook will depend on whether Henderson suits up or not. Assuming Henderson is able to play, we're viewing Stevenson as a fringe top-24 running back in fantasy football this week. He'd still be worth starting, but he's not a lock for high-end production while sharing touches.

TreVeyon Henderson Hoping to Play in Week 6
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) said he is "hoping" he can play in his team's Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets, per ESPN's Mike Reiss. Henderson suffered an ankle injury during New England's Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders that was initially expected to keep him out for multiple weeks, but he's officially listed as questionable to play against the Jets. Across four games so far in 2026, the 23-year-old has recorded 42 carries for 163 yards and a touchdown. If Henderson is active, it could heavily swing the fantasy outlook for fellow Patriots back Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson recorded 23 touches in Week 1, which Henderson missed due to injury. In the four games where he's shared the field with Henderson, Stevenson has yet to log more than 16 touches in a game.

TreVeyon Henderson Questionable for Sunday Against Jets
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's divisional clash against the New York Jets in Week 6, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. This should be considered a best-case scenario for Henderson's fantasy managers after he was expected to miss multiple weeks following his ankle injury in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The 23-year-old was able to practice all week in a limited fashion, but instead of being out multiple weeks, he will have a chance to suit up on Sunday against the division-rival New York Jets. On the flip side, it will be hard to trust Henderson as a fantasy starter, even if he makes a remarkable turnaround to play this weekend. Henderson missed the season opener due to injury and has been the RB2 behind Rhamondre Stevenson, carrying the ball 42 times for 163 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and one touchdown while catching only two passes for 22 yards. Stevenson will have RB1 upside against Gang Green if Henderson is ruled out.

TreVeyon Henderson Practicing Again on Friday
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was present again for the start of Friday's practice, according to team reporter Mark Daniels, capping off three straight days of practice after sustaining an ankle injury in the team's Week 5 win over the Raiders. Henderson was initially feared to be facing a multi-week absence, but after surprising with limited participation on Wednesday and Thursday, and showing up again on Friday, he has a chance to suit up for the team's divisional clash with the New York Jets on Sunday. Outside of one long run in a Week 2 win over the Steelers, Henderson has been inefficient in his second season, averaging 3.9 yards per carry and finding the end zone only once after scoring 10 times as a rookie. As such, even if active, he should be viewed as little more than a flex play despite a favorable matchup against the Jets.

TreVeyon Henderson Present for Thursday's Practice
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was present for the team's practice on Thursday, according to Evan Lazar of the team's official website. Henderson was surprisingly listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, and the Boston Herald's Doug Kyed reports that the 23-year-old was in pads before Thursday's session. After the second-year back was injured in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, it was expected that he would be headed for a multi-week absence. However, Henderson's ankle injury might not be as bad as initially feared, potentially giving him a chance to play this Sunday against the division-rival New York Jets in Week 6. The former Ohio State star will still be a risky RB3/flex option if he is active this weekend against the Jets, but it would be great news overall for his fantasy managers going forward. Henderson has not been able to get into a groove yet in 2026, averaging 3.9 yards per carry for 163 yards and one touchdown on 42 rushing attempts. He has added only two catches for 22 yards. If Henderson cannot play against New York, backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson would be a must-start in fantasy lineups.

Rhamondre Stevenson Set for Workhorse Role With Teammate Injured
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is expected to miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, which will open up a workhorse role for backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Corey Kiner will also have an expanded role behind Stevenson for as long as Henderson remains sidelined. Stevenson had 13 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win over the Raiders after Henderson's injury. The 28-year-old Stevenson has been the Patriots' RB1 so far in 2026 with Henderson battling some injuries, and he has averaged 4.0 yards per carry for 227 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 57 rushing attempts through five games. The former fourth-rounder has also tacked on 15 receptions (19 targets) for 111 yards as a receiver. With Henderson expected to be ruled out for Week 6 this weekend, Stevenson becomes a must-start in fantasy lineups against the division-rival and visiting New York Jets, whose defense has allowed 118 rushing yards per game this year.

TreVeyon Henderson Suffers High-Ankle Sprain, Set to Miss Multiple Weeks
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a high ankle sprain. The running back exited their contest against the Las Vegas Raiders early and is now set to be on the sidelines for at least the next few weeks. Schefter noted that the second-year back is not expected to undergo surgery, and the Patriots hope he can return "sooner rather than later." It is worth noting that Henderson missed the season opener due to an ankle injury as well. This season, Henderson enjoyed one productive effort back in Week 2, where he ran for 76 yards and scored, but averaged a modest 4.0 PPR points in Weeks 3 and 4. While he remains out, Rhamondre Stevenson projects to see a massive workload and could push for mid-end RB2 upside.

TreVeyon Henderson Undergoing an MRI Exam on Monday
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said on Monday that running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) will have an MRI exam on Monday to determine if/how much time he will miss with an ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, according to the NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. Backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson was questionable going into the game against the Raiders on Sunday due to a knee injury, but he managed to suit up and took over the backfield duties once Henderson was injured. The 23-year-old Henderson had a season-low four carries for 22 yards and caught his lone target for a gain of 16 yards before leaving with injury and not returning. Henderson also dealt with an ankle injury at the end of the preseason that caused him to sit out the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. His status is worth watching closely this week. If Henderson cannot gain clearance to face the division-rival New York Jets in Week 6, Stevenson should handle the lion's share of backfield work for the Pats this weekend.

TreVeyon Henderson Ruled Out With Ankle Injury
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 5 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Taylor Kyles. Henderson suffered the injury during the second quarter after being brought down along the sideline and headed to the locker room for further evaluation. He was initially questionable to return before being downgraded to out. The second-year back finished with four carries for 22 yards and one reception for 16 yards. He also gained 12 yards on a lateral before exiting.

TreVeyon Henderson Questionable to Return With Ankle Injury
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 5 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to an ankle injury. Mike Reiss of ESPN initially reported that Henderson headed to the locker room for further evaluation. He had three carries for 11 yards and caught his only target for four yards before leaving. The nature of the injury hasn't been announced. Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is active, with Corey Kiner also available in New England's backfield.

Rhamondre Stevenson Active in Week 5 Against Raiders
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), who was questionable to play this week due to a knee injury, is officially active on Sunday in the Week 5 matchup against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Stevenson was limited in practice all week and will give it a go as the Patriots look to win back-to-back games after a slow start to the 2026 season. The 28-year-old comes into Sunday's game with 44 rushing attempts for 163 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and one touchdown on the ground while adding 12 receptions on 16 targets for 90 yards through the air in four games. He handled 13 carries for 47 yards and his first touchdown of the season in the Week 4 win over the division-rival Buffalo Bills, adding three catches for 27 yards. Stevenson being active is certainly bad news for TreVeyon Henderson's managers, but the two backs should continue to share the backfield pretty evenly against an exploitable Raiders run defense. Now that he is officially active, Stevenson should be considered a low-end RB2 option this weekend.

Rhamondre Stevenson an Uninspiring RB3 if Active on Sunday
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) ranks 25th at his position in PPR scoring so far this year, and he'll continue to rank as a mid-range RB3/flex option if he plays in Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Stevenson is currently listed as questionable, and while he seemed optimistic about his status, head coach Mike Vrabel refused to commit to Stevenson playing. The 28-year-old has been very productive on passing downs this year, fueling his value in half-PPR and full-PPR formats. He has 12 catches and 7.5 yards per catch through four games this year, as opposed to a very modest 3.7 yards per carry so far. Unfortunately for Stevenson, the Raiders are much stronger against backs in the receiving game than the running game; Vegas has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards, seventh-fewest catches, and eighth-fewest receiving yards to running backs in 2026. Given that Stevenson has shown some inefficiency on the ground, managers should view him as a lower-floor RB3 this week, if he even plays. In the event that he doesn't suit up, TreVeyon Henderson would lead the backfield as a strong RB2 option.

TreVeyon Henderson Could Occupy Lead-Back Role in Week 5
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has been disappointing over the last two weeks, but he could get back onto the fantasy radar against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. Teammate Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is questionable to play, and if he can't suit up, Henderson could occupy the lead-back role. Presumably, if Stevenson doesn't play, Henderson would be in line to handle roughly 20 touches. That type of volume could lead to very favorable results, as the Raiders have allowed the sixth-most rushing yards to running backs entering this week. The 23-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 2, nor has he tallied more than 4.5 fantasy points in a game since then, so Sunday could be a get-right opportunity for the second-year back if he has the backfield all to himself. Managers interested in starting Henderson if Stevenson doesn't play should check back for an update when the Patriots post their list of inactive players on Sunday morning.

Rhamondre Stevenson Questionable, Expects to Play
The New England Patriots listed running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) as questionable to play in Week 5 at home against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but Stevenson said on Friday that he's "ready to go," according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Stevenson "is not out as of yet." The 28-year-old put in limited practice sessions from Wednesday through Friday. He could be a true game-time decision on Sunday morning, but fantasy managers will want to check back on Saturday to see if any new information comes out on Stevenson's Sunday status. The six-year back is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry through four games in 2026, carrying the ball 44 times for 163 yards and one touchdown while also catching 12 of his 16 targets for 90 yards through the air. If Stevenson is limited or out against the Raiders, Henderson will have RB1 upside as the Pats look to make it two straight wins. Stevenson is shaping up as a shaky RB3/flex for fantasy managers because of the uncertainty around his status.

Rhamondre Stevenson Expected to be Limited on Thursday
It appears that New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) will at least be limited in Thursday's practice, according to Evan Lazar of the team's official website. Stevenson came out of the Week 4 win over the division-rival Buffalo Bills with a banged-up right knee, and he was also limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. It does not appear that the 28-year-old's knee injury is very serious, but we will continue to keep a close eye on his status going into this weekend's game on Sunday at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. If Stevenson were to be limited at all or out entirely, TreVeyon Henderson would have a much higher fantasy ceiling as the team's workhorse back. Stevenson has not been ruled out this week, but he might need to put in a full practice on Friday to avoid a questionable tag for Sunday's game. The sixth-year RB has 163 rushing yards and a touchdown on 44 carries (3.7 yards per attempt) through four games, adding 12 receptions for 90 yards through the air while sharing backfield touches with Henderson.
