The New England Patriots will host the New York Giants in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB TreVeyon Henderson.
Is TreVeyon Henderson Playing in Week 13?
Henderson is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Henderson in Week 13?
TreVeyon Henderson got the first carry of last week, a notable development with Rhamondre Stevenson back. In fact, the rookie handled all four of New England’s rush attempts on the first drive (11 yards).
Terrell Jennings did get a carry on the doorstep and while he was stuffed, it was still annoying. All things considered, I’m more encouraged by the usage patterns than I am disappointed by the bottom line.
Week 12 RB1 Split
- Henderson: 64.2% snaps, 21 touches, 11.1 points
- Stevenson: 31.3% snaps, 7 touches, 2.0 points
If we are going to get three Henderson touches for every one from Stevenson, I’m here to tell you that a deep playoff run is in your future. The G-Men just got lit up by Jahmyr Gibbs and they’ve allowed the lead runner on the opposing team to produce above his season average in 10 of 12 games this season.
Add in the fact that this is a limited defense playing for a 13th consecutive week and this has the making of a top 10 week.
