The New England Patriots will visit the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. 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 Henderson Playing in Week 16?
Henderson is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Patriots’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Henderson in Week 16?
This is a split backfield where multiple running backs get usage.
Usage, of course, doesn’t mean productive.
Quarters 2-4 vs. Buffalo
- TreVeyon Henderson: 15 snaps, 7 routes, 26.6 PPR points
- Rhamondre Stevenson: 23 snaps, 15 routes, 4.9 PPR points
These two running backs are not the same. Henderson hit on two explosive runs (TDs of 52 and 65 yards) and while those plays aren’t stable week-to-week, there is no denying that some players are more likely to connect on the game-breaking plays than others.
Since 2000, 50+ Yard Rush TD Leaders, Rookies
- 4: Saquon Barkley (2018)
- 4: TreVeyon Henderson (2025)
- 3: Adrian Peterson (2007)
- 2: 12-way tie
A shoe-string tackle kept him out of the end zone on a first quarter carry and it really is this simple: the Patriots are in scoring position the second the rookie touches the ball.
Stevenson isn’t going away, that much we know. We’ve seen Henderson’s role fluctuate weekly, almost regardless of what has happened in the games prior, and I’d be shocked if Stevenson wasn’t given his 9-13 touches that seem to be treated as a birth right.
That said, the hierarchy isn’t a question. Henderson is a starter that comes with more reward than risk in Week 16 and for years to come.
