TreVeyon Henderson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New England Patriots beat writer Mike Dussault writes that rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has been hard to miss during offseason workouts. His explosiveness is noticeable and he's been a consistent factor during team periods while showcasing a versatile skill set that could make him a key contributor in his first year in the NFL. The 5-foot-10 back's pass-protection skills have stood out, with his technique and mindset setting him apart. In addition to his blocking, Henderson has flashed plenty of playmaking ability during OTAs and training camp. The 22-year-old may never be a prototypical workhorse back because of his frame, but his pass-catching chops and big-play ability make him intriguing in fantasy right away in 2025, even with Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson in the RB room. In PPR leagues, he could become an RB2 before the end of his rookie campaign.

The New England Patriots view rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson as "a three-down back and a really good complement," according to general manager Eliot Wolf. "He's a threat with the ball in his hands, speed to take at the distance anytime he touches it." The Patriots selected the former Ohio State product with the 38th overall pick in the second round of last week's NFL draft as the fourth RB off the board. The 22-year-old will most likely split backfield touches with Rhamondre Stevenson to begin his first year in the NFL, similar to what he did with the Buckeyes last year with Quinshon Judkins. The 5-foot-10, 202-pound 22-year-old has the ability to do damage with long plays anytime the ball is in his hands, giving New England another dynamic playmaker behind young quarterback Drake Maye. At the very least, Henderson will be a handcuff option for fantasy managers that take the chance on Stevenson.
