TreVeyon Henderson Fantasy Overview

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Raiders, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's typically a 4- to 6-week injury, although Schefter says Henderson "is regarded as a quick healer, so the Patriots are hoping his return is sooner rather than later." It sounds like Henderson should at least avoid short-term IR, but we'll find out for sure later this week. We'd at least plan on Henderson missing the next 2 games vs. the Jets and Bears. Rhamondre Stevenson will be a borderline RB1 for those contests as New England's workhorse. Corey Kiner will step in as a lightly used No. 2 RB.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Raiders with an ankle injury. He carried 4 times for 22 yards and caught his lone target for 16 yards before exiting. We'll update Henderson's status when we know more.

Update: Henderson has been ruled out.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He was limited in practice all week, and HC Mike Vrabel sounded unsure of Stevenson’s availability for this one multiple times. But Stevenson said Friday that he’s “ready to go.” We’ll look for further updates on his status and get New England’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. It’s safe to assume that Stevenson won’t be at 100% if he does suit up for this one. That makes RB TreVeyon Henderson a more intriguing Week 5 fantasy start.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He limped off late in last week's win over the Bills, and HC Mike Vrabel would only say before practice today that Stevenson "has a chance" to play against the Raiders on Sunday. Getting on the field early in the week should have him on track to play, but Stevenson's status will be worth monitoring the rest of the week. His absence would turn RB TreVeyon Henderson into a strong fantasy start.
