TreVeyon Henderson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Patriots rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson led the team in rushing yards and tied for the lead in receptions in his regular-season debut. But that's where the positive stuff ends. Henderson carried five times for just 27 yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. His six catches went for just 24 yards, while his six targets ranked fifth on the team.

RB TreVeyon Henderson has been a good bet to play a big role in the Patriots' passing game since the moment he was selected 38th overall back in April. But The Athletic's Chad Graff believes the rookie's performance in August might make him the team's lead ball carrier, too. "Before training camp, it was easy to envision [Rhamondre] Stevenson as the Patriots’ primary ball carrier with Henderson mixing in on third downs and [Antonio] Gibson spelling those two when needed," Graff writes. "But Henderson’s strong summer makes it seem reasonable that he’ll get half the carries, if not more."

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson did not practice again on Wednesday, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson took the opening kickoff of Friday night's preseason game -- and his very first NFL touch -- to the house for a 100-yard TD. It was an impressive display of burst and long speed. But we already knew that Henderson was fast. We saw it at Ohio State. And he clocked a 4.43-second 40 time at the Combine. The much more interesting takeaway from this game was Henderson's usage on offense alongside RB Rhamondre Stevenson. Let's break it down.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has been busy in the passing game in training camp so far, according to Evan Lazar of the team's official site. Henderson has been the recipient of screens out of the backfield and been running downfield routes from the slot or out wide.

The first episode of the Patriots' "Forged in Foxborough" web series revealed that the team had multiple offers for the 38th overall pick in the draft. Instead of moving, though, New England stayed and selected Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson. The offers:

• Pick 39 plus a seventh-rounder from Chicago
• Picks 58 and 79 plus a 2026 third-rounder "possibly from Houston"

The Patriots view TreVeyon Henderson as a three-down back, VP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf said Friday night. "Extremely good speed, pass protection, pass game," Wolf said of his second-round pick. "Although he's a little bit undersized, we view him as a 3-down back. Just a really good complement. He is a threat with the ball in his hands; speed to take it the distance any time he touches it."

The Patriots selected Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson with the 38th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Henderson’s speed and quickness have stood out since he was a five-star recruit. He was too talented for the Buckeyes to keep off the field as a true freshman, leading the team in 2021 with 184 rushes for 1,255 yards and 15 TDs. After dealing with injuries in 2022 and 2023, Henderson stayed in school and split the backfield with transfer Quinshon Judkins last year. His receiving work increased, highlighted by his 75-yard screen TD against Texas in the College Football Playoff. Overall, he impressed with 7.0 yards per carry, 10.8 yards per catch, and 4.43 yards after contact per attempt. Henderson also proved to be one of the top pass protectors in this RB class. His momentum continued at the NFL Combine, where he assembled an 8.87 Relative Athletic Score at 202 pounds.

Former Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson showcased his explosive athletic ability at the Combine running a 4.43 40-yard dash at 5'10 and 202 pounds. He also had a 38.5" Vertical (93rd Percentile) and 10'08 Broad Jump (96th Percentile).
