In his rookie season, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson's role in New England's offense was limited to start the year. Henderson averaged just 6.1 rushing attempts in the team's first seven games of the season. The usage to start the year was puzzling, as Henderson was arguably the team's most explosive playmaker. New England finally let Henderson loose in Week 8, and the Ohio State product rushed for 758 yards on 137 attempts while catching 19 passes for 122 yards over the team's final 10 games. Overall, Henderson took advantage of an easy schedule, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, racking up 10 scores on 215 touches, including four from 50-plus yards. It was an even split with Rhamondre Stevenson, but the team leaned more on Rhambo in the playoffs, as he had 17.8 touches compared to Henderson's 8.8. Henderson will look to carve out a role in a high-octane Patriots offense as the team added wide receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason. The 23-year-old has an injury history at Ohio State and expect the Pats to utilize Henderson as they did last year to keep him healthy. Henderson has the potential to be a fantasy RB1 if Stevenson goes down or is benched, but expect the second-year back to see spike weeks with the backfield split. Henderson is currently RB22 in the latest RotoBaller rankings with a Sleeper ADP of 48, making him a solid pick in the middle rounds. However, with a tougher schedule and some expected spike weeks, Henderson is a better pick in best ball formats.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
