Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson remained the clear lead back in Week 12, despite the return of Rhamondre Stevenson. The rookie out-carried Stevenson 18-6 and topped him in targets, 4-2.

Patriots RB Terrell Jennings (knee) is active for tonight's game vs. the Jets. We're expecting him to take some early-down work, and potentially goal-line carries, from RB TreVeyon Henderson. Jennings would be a desperation fantasy start, despite this favorable matchup. Henderson still sits high in the Week 11 RB rankings.

Patriots RB Terrell Jennings (knee) is expected to play vs. the Jets tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jennings figures to play the 'big back' role for New England again after handling 11 carries and scoring a three-yard TD back in Week 9. He's not much of a fantasy option, but his presence knocks TreVeyon Henderson from RB1 to RB2 status.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Jets. He was limited in practice this week, giving him a chance to return for Week 12. RB Terrell Jennings (knee) was also limited in practice this week and is listed as questionable for the Jets game. RB TreVeyon Henderson is in for an expanded role again tomorrow, but he'll be particularly busy if Jennings can't go. We'll get New England's inactives a little before 7 pm ET tomorrow.

Patriots RBs Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were limited in Tuesday's practice. That gives them both a chance to play vs. the Jets on Thursday night, although we won't be surprised if they're held out on the short week. We'll get New England's final injury report on Wednesday afternoon. RB TreVeyon Henderson will be in for a big workload if Stevenson and Jennings are out.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson busted off 147 yards and 2 TDs on 14 attempts in Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay. He tallied chunk gains of 69 and 55 yards.

Patriots RB Terrell Jennings is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers with a knee injury. His absence should mean more work for RB TreVeyon Henderson. RB D'Ernest Johnson is also dressed for New England today.

Update: Jennings has been ruled out.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return. TreVeyon Henderson should again operate as New England’s lead back this weekend, with Terrell Jennings as the No. 2. Tampa Bay has been stout against the run this year but has allowed a league-high 466 receiving yards to RBs.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Mike Vrabel said. We still haven't heard any details on Stevenson's injury, but we're assuming it's turf toe, which can be very debilitating. Fantasy managers should not be counting on him playing vs. the Buccaneers this weekend, which would again leave the backfield to TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He didn’t practice all week and could miss more time beyond Week 9 depending on the severity of this toe injury. Stevenson’s absence leaves TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings as the only two RBs on the active roster. RBs D’Ernest Johnson, Rushawn Baker, and Jonathan Ward are on the practice squad. The Patriots have been hesitant to give Henderson a big role so far, but we’d be surprised if he didn’t tally 12+ touches in this one, with a ceiling approaching 20. Consider the rookie a moderate-risk, high-reward RB2 play.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson dominated the RB touches for the Patriots with 20 total touches compared to 7 for the rest of the RBs on the roster. He ended with a rushing total of 18-88-1. He also caught two passes for no yards.
