Should You Start or Sit TreVeyon Henderson in Week 5?
Sadly, I think we can all tell where this is headed, at least in the short term.
Vibes were high for TreVeyson Henderson’s managers after the fumble fest that was Week 3, and we got a glimpse of a lead role.
Week 3 post Stevenson’s second lost fumble:
- Henderson: 26 offensive snaps (9 rushes)
- Antonio Gibson: 6 (2 rushes, 1 fumble)
- Rhamondre Stevenson: 5 (0 rushes)
Or so we hoped. Mike Vrabel insisted on needing a committee, and he stuck true to his word in the Week 4 win over the Panthers. Stevenson played more snaps than Antonio Gibson and Henderson combined, while the touches were pretty evenly split among the trio.
If you have three backs, you have none as far as we are concerned.
Henderson is the long-term winner of work, but that doesn’t appear to be an imminent situation. I’m interested in this spot, a defense that hasn’t shown well, and an offense that could apply pressure, so I’m not ruling out a nice Henderson game, but I’m also not actively looking to flex him in situations where I have similar options.
